Healthcare satisfaction and information on after-miscarriage physical changes correlated significantly with reduced perinatal grief rates after miscarriage. However, any effects of mental health information and psychological support provision need further studies. Training for healthcare providers dealing with pregnancy loss, implementing national guidelines that include follow-up on the parents' physical and psychological health, and including a specialized area in medical structures are advised
