Description
Summary:Factors associated with the grief process in response to perinatal loss have been investigated. However, few studies focused on the intrapersonal factors, such as developmental and personality traits. Hence, this study aimed to investigate medical and psychosocial risk factors, including inter- and intrapersonal factors for the development of complicated grief following perinatal loss, while considering emotional support. A total of 50 patients who were treated for grief due to perinatal loss at the National Center for Child Health and Development were divided into two groups according to the treatment period (< 6 months: n = 28; [greater than or equai to] 6 months: n = 22). We compared medical and psychosocial variables between the two groups using the [chl].sup.2 test and t test. All data were further analyzed using a logistic regression model to adjust for confounding effects.
