Clinical relationship and psychological experience of hospitalization in "high-risk" pregnancy.

Objective: To explore, in a systemic view, the reciprocal perceived relationship between hospitalized "high-risk" pregnant women with uncertain fetal prognosis and the multidisciplinary prenatal care team, by the use of specifically developed questionnaires.

Study Design: A pilot study in a high-risk pregnancy department. We enrolled 52 pregnant hospitalized women and 17 clinical operators and we interviewed them by the use of open-ended and close-ended question questionnaires.
