Summary

The project of vocational training of care for grieving parents was established within the framework of a student grant competition of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and was focused on the issue of perinatal loss and skills development of midwifery students. The goal of the project was to develop a vocational training program for midwifery students focused on care for grieving parents and evaluate the program based on its effectiveness. Training and evaluation was performed in line with the concept published by British authors Caroline Hollins Martin and Eleanor Forrest, who agreed with its use in the Czech republic. The training program took place in 2014 and involved 128 students in their second and third years of studies for Bachelor of midwifery on three universities in the Czech republic. Efficiency was confirmed based on the evaluation of the program. Midwifery students enhanced not only their knowledge, but thanks to activation training methods also their skill in the area of psycho-socio-spiritual care for women after perinatal loss and their families.
