We focus on the unique challenges faced by diverse families, encompassing those from underrepresented racial, ethnic, religious, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds. Diverse families often encounter inadequate support, misunderstandings, and even mistreatment during their perinatal loss journeys due to cultural insensitivity and biases. This review underscores the necessity of a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to perinatal bereavement care that respects the diversity of those affected. We emphasize the importance of understanding various cultural perspectives on grief and mortality to provide appropriate and empathetic care.Our core purpose is to elucidate the challenges confronting diverse families dealing with perinatal loss and to offer actionable strategies for health care providers. By addressing these unique challenges, nurses and other health care professionals can offer culturally sensitive, person-centered support during this distressing time. This review can serve as a resource for nurses and other health care providers, enabling them to provide personalized, culturally sensitive care to diverse families experiencing perinatal loss through a trauma-informed lens. Recognizing and addressing these distinctive needs fosters healing and ensures that nurses and other health care providers are better equipped to guide families through the challenging journey of perinatal bereavement.</p>","PeriodicalId":51121,"journal":{"name":"Mcn-The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"81-87"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138805376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parents report dissatisfaction with their experience of learning of their infant's (dis)ability diagnosis. After unexpected news is given to expecting or new parents prenatally or postnatally, it is the nurse who is often left with parents during an extremely emotional and vulnerable time.

This narrative synthesis reviews the role of the nurse during complex family situations and applies findings to their role in supporting families through receiving the diagnosis of a (dis)ability for their infant either prenatally or postnatally. Nurses can assist parents through this process of adaptation by using a compassionate and empathetic approach in their care, facilitating opportunities for parent-infant bonding, speaking with person-first language, clarifying complex information, and assisting with allocation of various internal and external resources.
