Since perinatal loss is a sensitive and traumatic experience, the care of these individuals in clinics may be overlooked by nurses. This problem can be solved if nurses consider themselves competent and equipped while planning the care of individuals with perinatal loss. In this study, it is aimed to discuss the care in the context of nursing diagnoses in order to facilitate the planning of nursing care to be given to the women and their families who has experienced perinatal loss. The study was written in the form of a literature review on the subject and a compilation of the data obtained. Nursing diagnoses that can be used in the nursing care of individuals with perinatal loss are listed according to the North American Association of Nursing Diagnoses (NANDA International), and outputs and interventions are included for each nursing diagnosis according to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). According to this; Two nursing diagnoses related to the general assessment and adaptation to care of individuals experiencing perinatal loss, ten nursing diagnoses that can be addressed in psychological care, three nursing diagnoses for physical care, and two health promotion and well-being diagnoses related to all processes were discussed. NOC outputs and NIC interventions were written, indicating the situations in which the diagnoses could be used and their descriptive features. According to the results of the study, while giving care in the case of perinatal loss, the psychological care for the loss should be evaluated in more detail. The use of nursing diagnoses by nurses through a determined roadmap while giving care to individuals with perinatal loss and their families will both facilitate the practice and ensure that the needs of individuals are better met.
