Compare parent stress after diagnosis before versus after birth
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how the timing of a baby’s diagnosis—before birth (antenatal) versus after birth (postnatal)—affects parents’ stress and emotional reactions after their child has surgery. You may be able to contribute by sharing experiences as a parent of a child who had this specific surgery.
