Objective: to analyze the assistance provided by health professionals after a stillbirth. Method: an
integrative literature review was carried out in Lilacs databases via BVS, CINAHL, and Medline via
PubMed in October 2020. Primary studies indexed in databases, published in English, Portuguese,
and Spanish, linked to the research theme, and without a defined time frame were included.
Results: the review covered seven studies. The critical analysis of the review led to the organization,
synthesis, and discussion of the results with the findings in the literature. Conclusion: concerning
the assistance of health professionals after a stillbirth, there was a lack of emotional and technical
training in the care provided to mothers, family members, and close people involved in the stillbirth,
which reflects failures in professional training on the subject. The literature points to the need to
approach the theme throughout academic education and encourage training courses.
