Abstract
PURPOSE
To estimate the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among parents in cases of fetal abnormalities and associated factors.
DESIGN AND METHODS

FINDINGS

PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
This study emphasizes recognizing the importance of social support and of psychological interactions between mothers and fathers in PTSD intervention for parents.
