Cuidados enfermeros en el duelo perinatal. Una revisión sistemática y crítica de las actitudes y los conocimientos en la práctica clínica / Nursing care in perinatal grief. A systematic and critical review of attitudes and knowledge in clinical practice

Objetivo: Revisar y sintetizar la evidencia disponible sobre las actitudes y conocimientos de las enfermeras ante el duelo perinatal de los progenitores. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de artículos originales publicados desde enero del 2016 hasta febrero del 2023, sin límite de idioma, en las bases de datos Scopus, PubMed, Cinahl, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect y Web Of Science. Se utilizó el marco metodológico de la Declaración Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyse (PRISMA) para revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis. Todo el proceso se efectuó por pares, siendo solventadas las discrepancias por un tercer revisor. Se evaluó la calidad de los artículos siguiendo los criterios Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Español (CASPe). Resultados: Se obtuvieron 12 artículos en esta revisión tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión, de los cuales, salvo un estudio cuantitativo transversal (8,33%), los demás eran análisis cualitativos realizados mediante entrevistas (75%) o grupos de discusión (16,66%). Se destaca que existen diferentes problemas biopsicosociales relacionados con las necesidades de cuidado que demanda la familia y que, por escasa formación o cultura del profesional sanitario, no se abordan de una manera adecuada. Los estudios encontrados muestran diversos recursos para atender adecuadamente el duelo perinatal, existiendo discrepancias en relación con permitir o no que se muestre y/o coja el cuerpo del bebé fallecido; existen también desacuerdos respecto a si el equipo asistencial debe fundamentar su práctica en protocolos o teorías como la del duelo de Kübler-Ross. La mayoría de los estudios (75%) consideran necesarias más formación y sensibilización contemplando la naturaleza biopsicosocial del usuario.(AU)

Aim: To review and synthesize the available evidence on the attitudes and knowledge of nurses regarding the perinatal grief of the parents. Methods: A systematic review of original articles published from January 2016 to February 2023 without language limit in the Scopus, PubMed, Cinahl, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect and Web Of Science databases was carried out. The PRISMA Statement methodological framework was used for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The entire process was carried out in pairs, with discrepancies being resolved by a third reviewer. The quality of the articles was evaluated following the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Spanish (CASPe criteria). Results: Twelve articles were obtained in this review after applying the inclusion criteria, of which. Except for one cross-sectional quantitative study (8.33%), the rest were qualitative studies carried out through interviews (75%) or discussion groups (16.66%). It is highlighted that there are different biopsychosocial problems related to the care needs demanded by the family and that, due to poor training or culture of the health professional, are not adequately addressed. The studies found show various resources to adequately attend to perinatal grief, there being discrepancies in relation to allowing or not allowing the body of the deceased baby to be shown and/or taken; There are also disagreements regarding whether the healthcare team should base its practice on protocols or theories such as the Kübler-Ross theory of grief. Most of the studies (75%) consider that more training and awareness is necessary, contemplating the biopsychosocial nature of the user.(AU)
