Hospicja perinatalne jako odpowiedź na potrzeby rodziców otrzymujących niepomyślną diagnozę prenatalną swojego nienarodzonego dziecka
Perinatal Hospice Care in Poland - Conditions for Supporting Parents in the Event of an Unborn Child’s Terminal Illness

Summary/Abstract: Responding to an unfavourable prenatal diagnosis of their unborn child is a great challenge to parents. When they receive the test results, they feel confused and frightened, and many questions about the child and hisillness arise in their minds. This article aims to show the problems and needsof parents in this difficult situation, as well as to draw attention to the nonmedical aspects of supporting parents. Particularly important considerations in this area relate to the relatively new subdiscipline of pedagogy known as prenatal pedagogy, which draws attention to the individuality and dignity of the unborn child, as well as to the role of those who surround parents dealing with procreative difficulties. Perinatal hospices are a very important response to the needs of parents. Based on the philosophy of life affirmation, they shape their patients’ attitudes and give them the opportunity to experience very important parental events.
