Abstract :

From our experience accompanying parents around the world to go across their grief for the death of a child, arise the need to implement a protocol of medical action in perinatal and pediatric death in order to achieve an improvement in the care of grief and prevention of avoidable deaths. For this, it is essential to establish empathic communication tools possible to be applied in these cases. In Latin America there is not a protocol to inform health professionals how to act under these circumstances. Studies and our work shows that a poor doctor-patient relationship at the time of greatest vulnerability of parents that is when they know of the death of his son, is a basic problem when begins the road to a healthy greaving. We aim to the memory of this moment would be the less painful as it is possible, by training professionals on how to act, what to do and say for the grieving process can be better from the start. We are currently working on developing a bill that establishes a protocol that recommends 13 steps in these cases, accompanied by a specialized training to meet our goal of providing useful tools to health professionals involved. It is absolutely necessary and should be implemented as soon as possible in health centers throughout Latin America.
