Aim: This study examines parental satisfaction with care received in the context of a life-limiting fetal diagnosis and subsequent birth. Methods: Survey methods were utilized to embed the Quality Indicators (QI) and Parental Satisfaction of Perinatal Palliative Care Instrument in a survey: "The Voice of Parents". Results: The web-based survey had a final sample of N=405 parent responders. Overall, parents reported satisfaction with care (80.2%; n=393). Parents satisfied with care reported higher agreement with quality indicator items for all subscales. In total, 17 items from the 41-item instrument revealed the ability to predict higher parental satisfaction when particular QI are reported. Conclusion: This study has led to credible insights into parental satisfaction with care given after the birth of an infant with a life-limiting condition. The findings contribute to development of a model with a good fit in ascertaining the importance of compassion, unhurried provider-patient communication and bereavement interventions.
