When Death Is Present at Birth: Women's Experiences During Pregnancy (GADP)
When Death Is Present at Birth: Women's Experiences During Pregnancy Following Perinatal Bereavement, Psychological Adjustment, and Attachment Issues
Current scientific literature confirms that pregnancy following perinatal bereavement is a period of significant psychological vulnerability. Quantitative research highlights a high prevalence of anxiety disorders, depressive symptoms, and post-traumatic stress among these mothers. However, there is a significant gap between somatic medical monitoring-which has become highly effective-and an understanding of these women's subjective experiences. Data regarding the restructuring of prenatal attachment and "psychic transparency" in this context of traumatic aftermath remain extremely scarce. The purpose of this research is therefore to fill this gap by exploring, through a phenomenological approach, how the bond with the unborn child is formed when death occurred during the previous birth.

Descrizione dettagliata
The originality of this research resides in its paradigm shift. It changes the focus from pathology (trauma as a disorder) to the phenomenology of the bond (the experience of attachment). While the majority of available studies on perinatal bereavement are quantitative in nature and focused on measuring psychological distress, this study offers a rare and deeply qualitative exploration of the "pregnancy that follows." Its innovative nature stems from the use of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a methodology that has yet to be widely applied to this specific topic in France. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the psychological shifts and the uniqueness of "psychic transparency" among these women, where traditional measurement scales fail to capture the complexity of their lived experience.

The semi-structured interview (single visit) is conducted immediately after enrollment, either before or after a scheduled visit as part of routine prenatal care. Lasting approximately 45 minutes, it is securely recorded. The "data collection" focuses exclusively on verbal data gathered during a semi-structured clinical interview. This data is collected via a digital audio recording, which is necessary for the accurate transcription of the speech for phenomenological analysis (IPA). |

The primary assessment criteria collected during the semi-structured interview involve analyzing the nature and quality of the prenatal attachment bond (psychic investment). The purpose is to evaluate whether the attachment bond is formed with flexibility or is hindered by fear, by exploring the balance between the imaginary child and the fantasized child. |
