Opis

The cause of the killer of apparently healthy infants between the ages of one week and one year - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) - continues to defy science. This book explores how parents grieve, casual explanations they attribute to a SIDS death, effects of their grief on family relationships, and strategies they use to cope and carry on.

Recenzje

"I could barely put down the book.When a Baby Dies of SIDS will be required reading in my research classes as a model of bravery, clarity, comprehensiveness, and interpretive methods..Martin is an accomplished writer and researcher, and her study is an exemplar for others contemplating a qualitative research project..In my years as academic supervisor of interpretive theses and dissertations, I have longed for a research study that describes to the reader how all-encompassing and personally painful qualitative research can be. The immersion of the researcher in the lives of people who are suffering is inherently distressing, but I rarely see this hurt discussed in academic literature. " -Qualitative Health Research
