Evaluation of the Palliative Approach in the NICU

A survey was conducted among all professionals in neonatal resuscitation services : doctors (senior and intern), paramedics (managers, pediatric nurses, auxiliaries and nurses, psychomotor therapists) and psychologists. The survey was based on a questionnaire, which was offered to all professionals, both medical and non-medical. All questions were closed, and a free comment area was proposed at the end. The questionnaire was preceded by a comment recalling the objectives of the study, the voluntary and individual nature of participation, and insisted on respect for anonymity. It consisted of 49 questions, allowing 197 possible answers. For most questions, several answers could be chosen.
