Abstract

Research exploring fathers' experiences of using bereavement photography after perinatal loss is lacking. Using continuing bonds theory, this study aims to investigate fathers'experiences of bereavement photography and predictors of posttraumatic growth (PTG). Mixed methodology was employed with participants (n = 29). A hierarchical regression showed that there were no significant associations between continuing bonds and PTG, but time since death predicted PTG in bereaved fathers. Further, a t test indicated that there was no significant difference in PTG for mothers and fathers. A thematic analysis was conducted on the qualitative data from an open-ended survey question (n = 23) and semi-structured interviews (n = 3) with fathers. The qualitative analysis of fathers' responses showed themes relating to bonding/connection, capturing memories, recommendations to receive photography help with grieving, validation, memory-making and continuing bonds, and engagement with photos. Fathers valued bereavement photographs as it enabled them to integrate grief over time.

围产期丧子后接受丧亲摄影的父亲的创伤后成长和持续联系：一项混合方法研究。

目前还缺乏对围产期丧亲后父亲使用丧亲摄影的经验进行探讨的研究。本研究采用持续纽带理论，旨在调查父亲使用丧亲摄影的经历以及创伤后成长（PTG）的预测因素。研究采用了混合方法，参与者人数为 29 人。分层回归结果表明，持续性纽带与创伤后成长之间没有显著关联，但丧亲父亲的丧亲摄影时间预测了创伤后成长。此外，t 检验表明，母亲和父亲的 PTG 没有明显差异。我们对来自开放式调查问题（n = 23）和与父亲的半结构式访谈（n = 3）的定性数据进行了主题分析。对父亲们的回答进行的定性分析显示，主题涉及亲情/联系、捕捉记忆、建议在悲伤时接受摄影帮助、验证、建立记忆和延续亲情，以及参与照片拍摄。父亲们重视丧亲照片，因为它能让他们在一段时间内将悲伤融入其中。
