Holistic care<br \/>\nof women experiencing miscarriage can improve the psychological impact for the client and the<br \/>\nED staff. Women report being dissatisfied with care received in the ED during an early<br \/>\npregnancy loss. Women report privacy, dignity, compassion, 3 sensitive care, and the<br \/>\nacknowledgement of a loss as being important themes surrounding early pregnancy loss. The<br \/>\nED\u2019s fast-paced environment and a possible lack of staff awareness to this problem are barriers<br \/>\nto providing holistic care to women experiencing miscarriage.<br \/>\nEmergency department nurses are ill equipped to meet the psychological needs of women<br \/>\nduring a miscarriage. Nurses in the ED are not formally trained in principles of perinatal<br \/>\nbereavement, including meeting the complex psychological needs of clients experiencing the loss<br \/>\nof an early pregnancy. Nurses may lack the confidence needed to care for these clients. The<br \/>\nproposed study facility is a busy level III trauma center, in the southeastern U.S., providing care<br \/>\nto around 100,000 clients per year and is the second busiest ED in project state. According to<br \/>\nqueried diagnosis codes surrounding miscarriage (in 2016-2017), the department sees over 200<br \/>\nclients annually, up to 27 clients a month, and the mean number of clients impacted each month<br \/>\nis 20. There is no existing early fetal loss protocol for this population or special training in the<br \/>\nED at this facility. The lacking protocol, training, and\/or awareness of the issue can result in<br \/>\nclient\u2019s psychological, spiritual, and holistic needs being unmet and leads to client dissatisfaction<br \/>\nwith care. The project study facility has a satellite ED. The satellite ED does not have the same<br \/>\ndirect, easily accessible obstetrical nurse support as the main facility ED.<br \/>\nNurses are in a position to provide more holistic care to these clients in the emergency<br \/>\nroom with a guiding framework for managing pregnancy loss in the ED. At the core of nursing is<br \/>\nrespect for human dignity and kindness; this ethical principle extends to the women and her<br \/>\nfetus, a sometimes unrecognized client. A framework or 4 protocol for care surrounding<br \/>\nmiscarriage can help meet the complex psychological, spiritual, and holistic needs of women<br \/>\nexperiencing a loss in the ED. A framework can also increase nurses\u2019 confidence in caring for<br \/>\nthis population.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: -1.875rem -1.875rem 0px; padding: 0px 1.875rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<h1 style=\"font-size: 1.875rem; line-height: 2.8125rem; cursor: auto;\"><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, so this project is in 3 parts.
