description | Providing care to a woman after a Life-Limiting Fetal Conditions (LLFC) diagnosis is a difficult experience for midwives. This study’s aim is to describe the experience of midwives assisting in births following an LLFC diagnosis. It is a qualitative study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 midwives with experience in caring for women giving birth following an LLFC diagnosis. The data was analyzed through coding using the MAXQDA tool. The main theme emerging from the experience of midwives concerned difficulty in interacting with the woman giving birth. The analysis singled out four subthemes containing the most significant issues arising from the experience of midwives in caring for a woman giving birth to a lethally ill child: in relation with the woman giving birth; in relation with the child and the family; in relation with oneself; and in relation with the workplace. Midwives should have access not only to solid knowledge about this question, but also to courses developing skills in dealing with difficult situations, in coping with stress, in expressing compassion and, most importantly, in communicating with women and their families in such difficult circumstances. |
