ABSTRACT
This study was designed as a two-group pre-test post-test comparative experimental study to examine the effects of grief counseling on perinatal grief levels in women who underwent pregnancy termination before discharge from the clinic. This study was conducted with 70 women who underwent medical termination of pregnancy. The intervention group (n = 35) received perinatal grief care, while the control group (n = 35) received only routine hospital care. In this study, the Introductory Information Form, Perinatal Grief Scale, and evaluation form of the care received were completed. While the perinatal grief level of the intervention group decreased after the application of grief care, a significant difference between the groups was detected only in women with a history of medical termination according to obstetric characteristics (p < .05). The findings obtained from this study showed that perinatal grief care support decreased grief scores on perinatal grief instruments and their sub-dimensions in the intervention group.
