Research Abstract |
For fathers who had lost a child, "to tell their story" was a chance to reflect on the experience and gain a new awareness, and they found meaning in the experience. Furthermore, a great number of nurses were experiencing confusion and difficulty in providing care and support for fathers who had lost a child and as the nurses themselves were also suffering, it was suggested that there is also a need for psychological care for nurses.
