Background: While benefits of involving consumers in research are well established, bereaved parents face unique challenges, and descriptions of their experiences with co-designed stillbirth research are lacking. The collective experience of 'Project Engage' involved co-designing resources to support bereaved parents' involvement in research.
Methods: This study aimed to describe and evaluate the involvement of bereaved parents as co-investigators of a stillbirth research project.
Article Synopsis
- The Safer Baby Bundle (SBB) initiative in Australia aimed to lower stillbirth rates by enhancing pregnancy care through five key practices, including smoking cessation and fetal monitoring.
- A study assessed changes in healthcare professionals' (HCPs) knowledge and women's experiences regarding pregnancy care before and after the SBB's implementation, surveying over 1,200 women and 1,400 HCPs.
- Results showed a significant increase in HCPs consistently applying best practices and improved conversations about stillbirth risk; however, progress in smoking cessation practices was less marked.
