Abstract

Advances in perinatal medicine, present increasing numbers of women with difficult decisions about their pregnancy. We explored the views of 5 parents and 5 perinatal healthcare professionals regarding late termination of pregnancy following the principles of qualitative content analysis. Parents deciding on whether to (dis)continue pregnancy needed more time and decisional support. Decentralized care and lacking continuity between caregivers led to negative experiences. No standardized bereavement services were offered after leaving the hospital. Integrating principles of perinatal palliative care to care might help to offer further decisional support and to overcome the fragmentation of care.

摘要

围产医学的进步使越来越多的妇女在怀孕时面临艰难的决定。我们按照定性内容分析的原则，探讨了 5 位父母和 5 位围产期保健专业人员对晚期终止妊娠的看法。决定是否（停止）继续怀孕的父母需要更多的时间和决策支持。分散护理和护理人员之间缺乏连续性导致了负面体验。出院后未提供标准化的丧亲服务。将围产期姑息治疗原则与护理相结合可能有助于提供进一步的决策支持并克服护理的碎片化。
