ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the experiences of parents who have lost a child during pregnancy or birth, focusing on stillbirth, fetal death, and miscarriages. The goal is to understand how to better support these parents and to develop recommendations for healthcare professionals on how to communicate and provide care during such difficult times.

To participate in this study, you need to be a German-speaking parent living in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland who has experienced the loss of a child within the last 12 months. It's important that you feel mentally prepared to share your experience, as this study aims to gather firsthand insights from parents. If you join the study, you can expect to share your thoughts and feelings about your loss, which will help improve how healthcare providers support families in similar situations. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and your voice can contribute to making a difference for others facing this heartbreaking experience.
