Pre- és perinatális veszteség hatása a gyógyító, segítő szakemberekre

The topic of my research is the study of the effect of pre- and perinatal loss on the professionals working in healthcare. After clarifying the concepts related to perinatal loss, I mainly presented the manifestations of the complicated grief characteristic of this period, covering the death attitudes and influencing factors observed in health care. As the first period of pre- and perinatal mourning takes place in health care facilities, I examined the happenings in the hospitals related to the subject: the characteristics of mourning processing, the emotional involvement of professionals, coping strategies, the connection between loss and burnout syndrome. Last but not least, I also pointed out the protective role of religious faith. During my theoretical research, I looked for causalities. The practical research highlights that nowadays not only death and mourning, but also the experience of loss for doctors and nurses has become taboo. Qualitativeresearch has identified a number of problems that pose a real threat in the future, as human resources in health care will bemechanized without effective intervention. In the place where healing activities are carried out, both professional workers and spiritual caregivers can be experienced sources of God's presence. I am convinced that for the suffering man of our postmodern world, hospital pastoral care would be a therapeutic value transfer not only for patients, but also for healers in crisis situations. I would like to point out that no research has yet been carried out in Romania on this subject. The results of my study show that a broader study would be necessary to provide support to helping professionals in light of the conclusions.
