Prenatal counseling in extreme prematurity - Insight into preferences from experienced parents.

Objective: In-depth analysis of parental preferences in prenatal counseling in extreme prematurity.

Methods: A nationwide qualitative interview study among experienced parents of extremely premature babies born at 24 - 24 weeks of gestation. Semi-structured interviews were held until saturation, transcribed and qualitatively analyzed to search for parental counseling preferences.

Professionals' preferences in prenatal counseling at the limits of viability: a nationwide qualitative Dutch study.

Unlabelled: Prenatal counseling practices at the limits of viability do vary, and constructing a counseling framework based on guidelines, professional and parental preferences, might achieve more homogeneity. We aimed to gain insight into professionals' preferences on three domains of counseling, particularly content, organization, and decision making and their influencing factors. A qualitative, nationwide in-depth exploration among Dutch perinatal professionals by semi-structured interviews in focus groups was performed.
