Lived Experiences of Pregnancy Loss at Work
There is increased focus on pregnancy loss at work over recent years, with many countries introducing or exploring the introduction of statutory leave for pregnancies that end pre‐“viability.” Individual organizations are also introducing their own pregnancy loss policies. However, academic focus on early pregnancy loss at work has lagged behind political discourse and organizational developments. Through analysis of qualitative data from a mixed…
Enhancing young people’s pregnancy loss and fertility awareness and knowledge via schools
Pregnancy and infant loss, in the form of miscarriage, stillbirth or early neonatal death, occurs in 20–25% of all pregnancies. Despite its prevalence and associated physical and psychological impacts, there remains a lack of public awareness and understanding of pregnancy loss, including amongst people of reproductive age. Drawing on evidence from a preliminary review of peer-reviewed and grey literature, we make the case for enhancing pregnancy…

Involving Knowledge Users in Health Services Research
INTRODUCTION: Involving knowledge users in research can facilitate the translation of evidence into policy and practice. How to best involve and support various types of knowledge users, including patient and public involvement contributors, in research is an identified knowledge gap. We conducted a national evaluation of recurrent miscarriage care supported by a Research Advisory Group (convened in March 2020) comprising a range of knowledge use…
Mind Yourself So You Can Mind Me; The Role of Parental Behaviour in Perinatal Death on the Surviving Sibling’s Grief

Six mothers and two fathers experiencing perinatal loss were interviewed about their perception of the child's experience…

The aim of this study was to examine how information related to FFA, TOP for FFA and perinatal palliative care (PPC) were framed in Irish published media. A critical …
How we define recurrent miscarriage matters
BACKGROUND: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) affects 1%-3% of women/couples of reproductive age depending on the definition used, for example, whether 2 or ≥3 miscarriages. Stakeholders' views of how RM is defined have received limited attention to date. A definition reflects the medical evidence and values of a society at the time, and thus warrants ongoing review. AIM: We aimed to explore the views of women and men with lived experience of RM, and th…

Qualitative studies involving pregnant or post-partum women up to 12 months from high-income countries that provided data about facilitators and barriers to antena…
Outsourcing Transcription
Research ethics considerations foreground minimising harm to participants. Whilst increasing attention is being paid to researcher vulnerabilities, little has been written about transcriptionists, who can potentially experience emotional distress and vicarious trauma. In this article, we highlight ethical considerations when outsourcing audio for transcription as part of the RE:CURRENT (REcurrent miscarriage: evaluating CURRENT services) Project.…
