Primary | Traumatic stress will be analyzed as change over time | Impact of Event Scale-Revised includes 22 items on the past 7 days that represent symptoms of distress self-rated on a five-point scale: 0 indicates that the symptom occurs "not at all"; 1, "a little bit"; 2, "moderately"; 3, "quite a bit"; and 4, "extremely." Higher scores indicate greater distress/trauma. Participants will be instructed to relate the IES-R items specifically to the loss of their child. The investigators will examine scores as a continuous variable and presence/absence of diagnosis using a cutoff score of 35 or more. | Baseline (immediately following loss), 4 weeks and 8 weeks post loss | |
Primary | Grief intensity will be analyzed as change over time | The Perinatal Grief Intensity Scale is 14 items that asks about an individuals' experiences with perinatal loss. Items are on a four-point scale (1 to 4) and is averaged across three scales with a total possible score of 4. Higher overall scores indicating higher intensity of grief. | Baseline (immediately following loss), 4 weeks and 8 weeks post loss | |
Primary | Grief | The Perinatal Bereavement Scale is a 15-item scale designed as a measure of grief and yearning for the lost pregnancy and the lost baby. Respondents indicate how often the statement has been true in the past week, using a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from rarely or none of the time, less than 1 day (scored 1) to most or all of the time, 5 to 7 days (scored 4). Responses are summed to yield a total score (possible range, 15-60) | Baseline (immediately following loss) | |
Primary | Grief management self-efficacy will be analyzed as a change over time | Three items that rate the bereaved parents' confidence in their ability to cope with grief, use knowledge of mindfulness skills to cope, and engage in positive behaviors to help coping. Scores are on a four-point scale (1 to 4) with a total available score of 12. Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy. | 4 weeks and 8 weeks post loss | |
Primary | Care experiences will be analyzed as a change over time | 11 items of experiences of care at the time of loss and follow-up appointments after loss. Responses on a 4-point scale (1 to 4) to indicate level of agreement with a total available score of 44. Higher scores indicating better experiences. | Baseline (immediately following loss), 4 weeks and 8 weeks post loss | |
Primary | Usability | The System Usability Scale is commonly used 10-item scale that measures subjective perceptions of usability on a 5-point Likert-scale. The participant's scores for each question are converted to a new number, added together and then multiplied by 2.5 to convert the original scores of 0-40 to 0-100. Higher scores indicate the technology is more usable. | Post-Treatment (8 weeks post loss) | |
Primary | Acceptability | Developed as part of the current study. Items developed to measure the degree, on a 7-point Likert-type scale, to which parents found the program helpful, acceptable, and suited to their needs. Higher scores will indicate greater acceptability. | Post-Treatment (8 weeks post loss) |
