Preparing Heart and Mind for Becoming a Parent Following a Diagnosis of Fetal Anomaly
Using a cross-sectional, grounded dimensional analysis study design, we collected demographic and health information and conducted telephone interviews with 37 expectant parents of 26 fetuses within 25 families. We describe a theoretical model with a core process of preparing heart and mind for becoming a parent following a diagnosis of fetal anomaly. The process of preparing was influenced by fetal and future child health, experiences of previou…
Preparing Heart and Mind Following Prenatal Diagnosis of Complex Congenital Heart Defect
Drawing on attachment and caregiving theory and the concept of motivation, the purpose of this descriptive study was to examine parents' retrospective accounts of their prenatal experiences after receiving the diagnosis of a fetal heart defect.

Results showed that parents passed through a series of stages similar to the process described in Mishel’s Uncer…
