Description
Nora Monier Elsaka and co-authors survey maternity nurses in Egypt in 2025 on how they care for families after a baby dies around birth. Skilled bereavement care matters at such a loss, and the study asks how well nurses say they provide it.
One hundred seventeen nurses at a university hospital in Mansoura took part, answering a structured set of questions in early 2025. About three quarters reported a satisfactory level of practice overall. Gaps stood out in the birth period itself. None of the nurses reported using a standard labor chart, and only a small share allowed skin to skin contact with the dead baby. The authors urge targeted training on those gaps.
