About this trial
The objective of this pilot trial is to implement a new perinatal palliative care intervention program tailored to the Flemish context, which aims to provide care to parents who receive a severe foetal/neonatal diagnosis for their (unborn) child and to their healthcare providers. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness by comparing measured variables to the baseline measurement done in the same hospital wards beforehand.
