My child's legacy: a mixed methods study of bereaved parents and providers' opinions about collaboration with NICU teams in quality improvement initiatives.

With careful recruitment and supervision, some bereaved parents can become resource parents involved in different types of activities. It is important to understand the positive impacts this type of engagement can have on their healing process and to control the risks related to their participation. Research is needed to develop pertinent tools and measures to evaluate the outcomes and impacts of their participation.
