Contribuições da ética humanista e do pensamento Rogeriano no manejo das perdas gestacionais

Abstract

The present essay aimed to explore the contributions of humanistic ethics, particularly Rogerian thought, in the psychological management of gestational losses, emphasizing the importance of supporting grieving parents. The intersection of these themes with Obstetric Psychology, an essential area for assisting families during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle, proved crucial based on the bibliographic survey conducted, specifically to substantiate management in cases of fetal death. Regarding the results, it was observed that the Person-Centered Approach possesses facilitating attitudes, such as congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding, which can be applied by obstetric psychologists when providing support for gestational losses. We also highlight the need for a psychologist's stance based on trust in individuals' potential for growth and the necessity for more research in this area, as it was found to be challenging to locate specific scientific content on the topic.
