We included bereaved women using a questionnaire that also contained open-ended questions administered in an interview format by a midwife-investigator several weeks after the death. The study included a referral protocol for bereaved women with unmet needs revealed during the interviews. A psychological support for the three midwife-investigators was set-up, in the form of a support group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Setting:<\/strong> The 11 maternity hospitals in the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Participants:<\/strong> 218 women (227 deaths).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Analyses:<\/strong> Data come from medical records, maternal interviews, the reviews of the audit&#8217;s expert panel and written narratives of their experiences provided by the midwife-investigators. Quantitative data were analysed statistically, and qualitative data thematically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results:<\/strong> One-third (75) of the women agreed to an interview, but acceptance ranged from 6% to 60% by maternity unit. Characteristics of respondents and non-respondents were similar. Members of the audit&#8217;s expert panel reported that 41% of the interviews contained new information relevant to their assessment. Of the women interviewed, 35% were referred to a medical professional, psychologist or social worker. Midwife-investigators&#8217; experiences illustrated the benefits of a support group with three main themes identified: improving their interactions with bereaved women as well as medical teams and protecting their psychological well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> These results showed that including interviews with bereaved women in audit designs was feasible and provided valuable information on women&#8217;s care and social circumstances that were not available in medical records. They also highlight the importance of implementing referral protocols for the bereaved women, used in over one-third of cases, as well as providing support for study investigators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMJ Open. 2020 Sep 23;10(9):e034715. doi: 10.1136\/bmjopen-2019-034715.
