Experiences and needs of Chinese women after a stillbirth: a qualitative phenomenological study

Post-stillbirth experiences among Chinese women are deeply individualised and influenced by a complex interplay of personal emotions, cultural contexts and medical interactions. It is imperative for healthcare systems to implement tailored care strategies beyond standard protocols to proactively address their varied emotional landscapes and physical concerns with an enhanced awareness of cultural sensitivities. Specialised training for healthcare providers should be devised to recognise and respond to the unique grief processes. Comprehensive support systems should be established to significantly enhance the recovery journey by providing essential resources and community connections.
