abstract:

Since the model of perinatal hospice was first proposed more than two decades ago, its growth has been exponential. Perinatal hospice, now also called perinatal palliative care, is a practical and compassionate model of care for those continuing a pregnancy following a prenatal diagnosis indicating that their baby has a life-limiting condition and might die before or shortly after birth. Well over 300 international perinatal hospice and palliative care programs have been created; many articles have been published in major medical journals; several textbooks and guides have now been published; protocols and training have been developed; and growing numbers of parents are choosing to continue their pregnancies when perinatal hospice care is offered. And now the idea has even reached Pope Francis.

摘要：

自从二十多年前首次提出围产期临终关怀模型以来，它的增长呈指数级增长。围产期临终关怀医院（现也称为围产期姑息治疗）是一种实用且富有同情心的照护模式，适用于那些在产前诊断后表明自己的婴儿有生命限制状况并且可能在出生前或出生后不久死亡的人继续妊娠。已经建立了300多个国际围产期临终关怀和姑息治疗计划；在主要医学期刊上发表了许多文章；现在已经出版了几本教科书和指南；制定了规程和培训；提供围产期临终关怀服务时，越来越多的父母选择继续怀孕。现在，这个想法甚至传到了教皇方济各。
