We included bereaved women using a questionnaire that also contained open-ended questions administered in an interview format by a midwife-investigator several weeks after the death. The study included a referral protocol for bereaved women with unmet needs revealed during the interviews. A psychological support for the three midwife-investigators was set-up, in the form of a support group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The 11 maternity hospitals in the district.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>218 women (227 deaths).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Analyses<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data come from medical records, maternal interviews, the reviews of the audit\u2019s expert panel and written narratives of their experiences provided by the midwife-investigators.

Characteristics of respondents and non-respondents were similar. Members of the audit\u2019s expert panel reported that 41% of the interviews contained new information relevant to their assessment. Of the women interviewed, 35% were referred to a medical professional, psychologist or social worker. Midwife-investigators\u2019 experiences illustrated the benefits of a support group with three main themes identified: improving their interactions with bereaved women as well as medical teams and protecting their psychological well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results showed that including interviews with bereaved women in audit designs was feasible and provided valuable information on women\u2019s care and social circumstances that were not available in medical records. They also highlight the importance of implementing referral protocols for the bereaved women, used in over one-third of cases, as well as providing support for study investigators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2019-034715","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,23]],"date-time":"2020-09-23T17:15:45Z","timestamp":1600881345000},"page":"e034715","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Investigating the benefits and challenges of including bereaved women in research: a multifaceted perinatal audit in a socially disadvantaged French district"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1014-6655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscille","family":"Sauvegrain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Paris, CRESS-EPOP\u00e9, INSERM, INRA, Paris, France"},{"name":"Maternity Unit, GH Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re, AP-HP, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Zeitlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Paris, CRESS-EPOP\u00e9, INSERM, INRA, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.12039"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wombi.2019.03.010","article-title":"Stillbirth research: recruitment barriers and participant feedback","volume":"33","author":"Cronin","year":"2020","journal-title":"Women Birth"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-017-1509-z","article-title":"Learning from deaths: parents' active role and engagement in the review of their Stillbirth\/perinatal death (the parents 1 study)","volume":"17","author":"Bakhbakhi","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy Childbirth"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2017-020164","article-title":"Parents 2 study protocol: pilot of parents' active role and engagement in the review of their Stillbirth\/perinatal death","volume":"8","author":"Bakhbakhi","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.12335","article-title":"Care associated with stillbirth for the most disadvantaged women: a multi-method study of care in England","volume":"45","author":"Redshaw","year":"2018","journal-title":"Birth"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-019-2261-3","article-title":"Low autopsy acceptance after stillbirth in a disadvantaged French district: a mixed methods study","volume":"19","author":"Sauvegrain","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy Childbirth"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.7","first-page":"116","article-title":"How can we understand the high risk of infant and perinatal mortality in a geographical area? the example of the situation in Seine-Saint-Denis","volume":"6","author":"Sauvegrain","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Bull Epid\u00e9miol Hebd"},{"key":"2026062608031116000_10.9.e034715.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"908","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jgyn.2016.02.002","article-title":"[Why is perinatal and infant mortality high in the Seine-Saint-Denis district?
