Prenatal diagnosis: Women's interactions with practitioners when severe abnormalities are discovered at birth.
Caroline LafargeSophia RosmanIsabelle VillePublished in: Journal of reproductive and infant psychology (2020)
Women understood the limits of technology and of the care practitioners can provide, but greatly valued practitioners' empathic and honest communications. Thus, adopting a transparent and open approach may foster trusting relationships with women/parents. In turn, this may lower the prospect of litigation being brought against practitioners when severe abnormalities are discovered at birth.
