- Abstract
The purpose is to describe factors associated with emotional responses of parents at the time of diagnosis of Down syndrome. Using a survey design, data on attitudes of healthcare providers, content of information, and emotional responses were collected from 131 parents in Korea. There were positive relationships between healthcare providers' attitudes and the content of information ( r= .622; p < .0001), and content of information and parents' responses ( r= .271; p= .002). By providing positive information, healthcare providers can help parents to develop a more optimistic outlook on their children's future.
