Abstract
This study aimed to examine fathers’ experiences of perinatal loss systematically. It was conducted using the meta-synthesis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The literature review was conducted via PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Psyc-INFO databases using keywords, and the results of 17 qualitative studies that meet the research criteria were included in the study. The data were evaluated using the thematic analysis method. Eight main themes were found: being a father, things experienced when the loss is learnt, things experienced by the fathers after the loss, being strong as a male, ways to cope with the loss, support, practices applied for the lost baby, and neglected group of fathers.
