Grief experiences after perinatal loss among adolescent mothers and fathers: a scoping review protocol

This scoping review will map the evidence on grief after perinatal loss among mothers and fathers aged 10–19 years at the time of the loss. It will describe how grief has been conceptualised and measured, the grief responses and coping strategies reported, the contextual factors studied, and the support available to adolescent parents. Accounts collected during adolescence and retrospective accounts collected in adulthood will be synthesised separately. The review will identify gaps in the evidence relevant to future research and bereavement care.
