Possible Biases | Possible Solutions | |
---|---|---|
1 | Health care professionals may disregard important orientations or may have difficulties in changing their routine in the beginning | The Reference Professional will guide them from the beginning of the project and so on |
2 | A mistake regarding gestational age or baby weight on the maternity ward reports may include/exclude a woman from the sample | The information regarding the baby (birth, death) will be checked with the mother in the first contact |
3 | Mistakes made while filling out the documents created by this project | The Reference Professional will help filling out the documents and will follow up the case discussions |
4 | The mother/family does not authorize collection of some items listed in the project (picture, for instance) | The Reference Professional and the Bereavement Professional will manage this situation and consider alternatives to solve this matter. If necessary, researchers will assist them |
5 | During interview, a woman from the pre-intervention group reports that she has received care based on the supportive guidelines regarding perinatal bereavement | During the first contact, she will be asked for some information that may help avoid this bias |
