Summary

This trial compares two digital training methods for perinatal grief counseling among midwives and nurses in Türkiye. One group receives a six-week program through Instagram posts and interactive activities; the other attends live Zoom sessions with discussions and role-play. The study measures changes in competency and confidence in providing bereavement care, aiming to see which approach leads to better learning and skill retention.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
social media-based and online training programs for perinatal grief counseling
What this could lead to
If one method proves more effective, it could point toward scalable, accessible training models for healthcare professionals in sensitive areas like grief support.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage educational trial with 72 participants in one country, so results may not generalize widely. The study measures short-term changes in self-reported competency and confidence, not long-term clinical outcomes.
