Abstract
It is worth noting that childbirth is an experience of emotional loss in some aspects of one's valuable self as well as a blissful experience. In this work the authors try to analyse in terms of review, 1) loss experienced during child bearing, 2) the extent of loss, 3) effects brought about by review.
As a result of the study, the internal factors affecting the reaction of loss at childbirth have turned out to be fear, guilt feeling, loss of control, factual experience as well as discrepancy between expectations and reality, and negative interpretations of phenomena by a parturient woman: as the external factors have been characterized 1) Operative delivery 2) traumatic experience either verbal or non verbal behavior of medical and Nursing personnel which might hurt one's self-esteem, and physical discomfort: and farther classified discrepancy between real and expected feature appearance of the infant and reaction to loss in regards to body image, role, value and expectation of the “self”
The conclusion derived from this study is that review should be effective for the recovery from traumatic experience on the ground that it has not only served as the means of collecting data on the experience of loss but also helped release 34 parturient women(94%) of those who have shown feeling of loss caused by childbirth.
