Four thematic categories emerged from the data analysis: palliative care and eligible public in the view of professionals; communication between family and team in decision-making; assistance in palliative care; humanized care. The professionals think of palliative care in Perinatology in a similar way and perceive the difficulties of communication with the family and decision-making.
