Loren et al. conducted a qualitative thematic analysis following in-depth interviews with parents who believed they had experienced an adverse birth-related neonatal outcome and focus groups with healthcare providers who have communicated with parents about adverse newborn birth events. The analysis revealed six key themes characterizing the unique aspects of the birth experience and associated communication challenges:
- High expectations for positive outcome
