註釋Perinatal bereavement care encompasses holistic support and services offered by healthcare professionals, addressing physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs of bereaved parents which is ignored, most often in clinical settings. This hospital-based descriptive study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and factors associated with attitude regarding perinatal bereavement care among nursing personnel in a tertiary care hospital in central India. A total of 207 nursing personnel participated in the study, selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, 5-point Likert scale and dichotomous scale. The study revealed that 78.3% of nursing personnel possessed average knowledge, while 73.4% exhibited a positive attitude towards perinatal bereavement care. Personal perinatal grieving experiences, history of other grieving experiences, existing hospital policies, regular training and Continuing Nursing Education, and traditional beliefs and values were identified as highly influencing factors associated with attitude of nursing personnel regarding Perinatal Bereavement Care. Furthermore, the research highlighted a positive correlation between the knowledge and attitude of nursing personnel regarding perinatal bereavement care. Significant associations were observed between knowledge scores, attitudes, and demographic variables such as age, total work experience, years of experience in maternity wards, personal loss experiences, and past experience in handling grieving parents among nursing personnel. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of perinatal bereavement care in providing support to grieving parents.
