However, few studies focused on the intrapersonal factors, such as developmental and personality traits. Hence, this study aimed to investigate medical and psychosocial risk factors, including inter- and intrapersonal factors for the development of complicated grief following perinatal loss, while considering emotional support.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 50 patients who were treated for grief due to perinatal loss at the National Center for Child Health and Development were divided into two groups according to the treatment period (&lt;\u20096\u00a0months: n\u2009=\u200928;\u2009\u2265\u20096\u00a0months: n\u2009=\u200922). We compared medical and psychosocial variables between the two groups using the \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> test and <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> test.

Precise analysis of the coping style, attachment style, communication skills, and life history including relationship with the original family of the patients may have implications on the approach toward patients with complicated grief after perinatal loss. Studies with larger sample size are required to increase the reliability of the present findings, and future research should address the effects of the differential attachment and coping styles of patients with developmental\/personality traits on the grief process.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-021-01457-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]],"date-time":"2021-08-26T22:03:00Z","timestamp":1630015380000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Factors affecting the grieving process after perinatal loss"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Makiko","family":"Kishimoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arisa","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Niimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miki","family":"Mizumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsuo","family":"Hikitsuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kohei","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nobuaki","family":"Ozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshiyuki","family":"Tachibana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"1457_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"455","DOI":"10.1177\/0030222817691870","volume":"74","author":"M Stroebe","year":"2017","unstructured":"Stroebe M, Schut H, Boerner K.
