Advances in prenatal diagnosis have made medical, psychological, and ethical issues regarding the diagnosis of fetal anomalies a crucial topic of research. This study identified the needs of parents of unborn babies with fetal anomalies and their views regarding the services of interdisciplinary team members in charge of assisting them. The sample consisted of 30 parents and 40 team members from a women's health education and research hospital. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and were qualitatively analyzed using the phenomenological method of interpretation. The results showed that parents' physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum were not fully met after their unborn babies were diagnosed with fetal anomalies. The results also showed that team members needed a structured program, legal regulations, and training to provide holistic care.

Aim: The relationship between posttraumatic growth and meaning and purpose of life during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was determined in this study. Methods: This was a descriptive study using a correlational survey model. The sample consisted of 1264 participants aged 18-65 years of age recruited using snowballing sampling. Data were collected online using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and the Meaning and Purpose of Life Scale. Results: There was a positive correlation between posttraumatic growth and meaning and purpose life scores. Posttraumatic growth was a predictor variable that explained 12.2% of the total variance of the meaning and purpose of life. Conclusion: Health professionals are responsible for protecting public mental health, identifying risk groups, and planning interventions accordingly during and after such outbreaks as COVID-19.
