Objective To synthesize the findings of qualitative research exploring men’s experiences of partner perinatal loss,and to provide a basis for constructing psychological interventions. Methods Literature retrieval of qualitative research on men’s experiences of partner perinatal loss was conducted in 8 databases,including SinoMed,CNKI,Web of Science,Pubmed,CINAHL,psychINFO,embase,Cochrane library,from the establishment of the databases to April 30,2021. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies from Australia was used to evaluate the methodology quality of the included research,and the meta-aggregation was used to conduct the synthesis. Results 12 qualified studies were included and integrated into 59 valuable findings. These findings were then classified into 11 categories under 5 groups,namely men’s complex emotional experience after perinatal loss,the negative changes in life,the different coping strategies,difficulties and needs,and the discovery of benefits. Conclusion Nurses should break up the stereotypes about males,pay more attention to their emotional experience in perinatal loss,and cooperate with their families to provide them with information,environment and humanistic support under the guidance of hospitals. In this way,it will be easier to reduce the males’ care burden and the negative impact of partner perinatal loss on their life,so as to promote their personal growth.
