Resumen
Objetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar el proceso y tipo de duelo en mujeres que han sufrido una pérdida perinatal analizando como se relacionan la resiliencia, como posible factor protector, y las estrategias de afrontamiento empleadas. Asimismo, se planteó examinar el papel de distintas variables sociodemográficas, obstétricas, emocionales y asistenciales o de validación del vínculo en la vivencia del duelo.
Método: Participaron 51 mujeres de 11 países hispanohablantes. Se aplicaron cuatro instrumentos: cuestionario sociodemográfico, la Escala Perinatal (versión española), la Escala de Resiliencia de ConnorDavidson (CD-RISC) y la escala COPE – 28. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, correlacionales y modelos de regresión lineal múltiple para identificar los predictores del duelo, controlando por la procedencia como covariable significativa.
Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la intensidad del duelo según la procedencia de las participantes, siendo más elevada en mujeres latinoamericanas frente a españolas. La resiliencia correlacionó negativamente con la intensidad del duelo, aunque no se confirmó como un predictor significativo en el modelo final. En cambio, las estrategias de afrontamiento sí se mostraron predictoras: la reinterpretación positiva se asoció a menor intensidad del duelo, mientras que la negación y la autoinculpación predijeron mayores niveles de duelo. El intento de un nuevo embarazo se mostró como un predictor de mayor intensidad de duelo. Así mismo, estar casada o convivir en pareja, alcanzar un nivel de estudios elevado (postgrado) se han mostrado como predictores protectores de la intensidad del duelo, si bien este último resultado se recomienda interpretarlo con cautela.
Conclusiones: Estos resultados resaltan la importancia del contexto cultural y de los estilos de afrontamiento en la experiencia del duelo perinatal, así como la necesidad de promover intervenciones psicológicas y asistenciales culturalmente sensibles. Se recomienda fomentar estrategias adaptativas de afrontamiento y mejorar el acompañamiento profesional, con el fin de reducir el impacto emocional y prevenir complicaciones en la salud mental de las mujeres que atraviesan este tipo de pérdidas.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the process and type of grief in women who have suffered a perinatal loss by analysing how resilience, as a possible protective factor, and the coping strategies employed are related. It also sought to examine the role of different sociodemographic, obstetric, emotional and care variables, or validation of the bond, in the experience of grief. Method: Fifty-one women from 11 Spanish-speaking countries articipated. Four instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Perinatal Scale (Spanish version), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the COPE-28 scale. Descriptive and correlational analyses and multiple linear regression models were performed to identify predictors of grief, controlling for origin as a significant covariate. Results: Significant differences were found in the intensity of grief according to the origin of the participants, being higher in Latin American women compared to Spanish women. Resilience was negatively correlated with grief intensity, although it was not confirmed as a significant predictor in the final model. On the other hand, coping strategies were predictive: positive reinterpretation was associated with lower intensity of grief, while denial and self-blame predicted higher levels of grief. Attempting a new pregnancy was shown to be a predictor of greater intensity of grief. Likewise, being married or living with a partner, reaching a high level of education (postgraduate) have been shown to be protective predictors of the intensity of grief, although the latter result is recommended to be interpreted with caution. Conclusions: These results highlight the importance of cultural context and coping styles in the experience of perinatal grief, as well as the need to promote culturally sensitive psychological and care interventions. It is recommended to promote adaptive coping strategies and improve professional support to reduce the emotional impact and prevent mental health complications in women experiencing this type of loss.
