| Popis: | This study describes reactions of couples to the termination of their pregnancies because of a fetal anomaly. Forty women and 31 men were interviewed twice after the termination, 6 weeks and 6 months, respectively. Factors found to be of influence on decision-making and coping include: whether the anomaly was found by chance or through directed search; whether or not the anomaly was compatible with life; how far the pregnancy had progressed, and by which method the pregnancy was terminated. The feelings these couples faced were in some ways comparable to those perceived after a stillbirth or neonatal death, but the authors also encountered other, entirely different feelings. The latter include guilt, doubt, failure, and feelings of moral and social pressure. Recommendations for clinical practice are given at the end of the paper.ZusammenfassungDie vorliegende Studie beschreibt die Reaktionen von Paaren auf den Abbruch einer Schwangerschaft aufgrund einer fotalen Anomalie.
