Abstract

The article studies the way in which health professionals communicate the diagnosis of Down syndrome to parents. For that the personal stories of the mothers collected in the answers given by them to the open questions of a questionnaire on “communication of the diagnosis” are analyzed. The results show the mothers’ dissatisfaction with the information received during the prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of Down syndrome.
