FAQ

All women who give birth in one of the nine maternity hospitals in Friuli Venezia Giulia can participate in the project.

During pregnancy or during your hospital stay after giving birth, healthcare professionals will offer you the opportunity to sign a consent to be able to participate in the study.

If you have given the availability to participate, within four weeks, you will be contacted by telephone by a specially trained operator of the regional call center to answer the telephone questionnaire.

Absolutely not. The data is made completely anonymous.

The interview time may vary based on how much time you have available and how many details you want to share with respect to the lived experience.

Let's consider an average time of 20 minutes.

The call center operator will contact you and ask you if you are available to carry out the interview: if you are busy at that moment, you can arrange to do it at another time. Don't worry: even after starting the questionnaire, you can still stop it and resume it as soon as possible.

The call center operators will contact you based on the language chosen by you and indicated by the healthcare professionals who assisted you during the birth. Interviews are available in Albanian, Croatian, French, English, Italian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish and German.

If you have yet to give birth or if it has not yet been proposed to you by healthcare professionals, you can ask for information during your stay in the maternity hospital you refer to.

If, on the other hand, you have already given birth and returned home, you can:
- ask for information from the midwives you will meet on postpartum visits
- participate in the “IMAgiNE EURO” project by answering the online questionnaire that you find at this link.

No, the questionnaire only collects the experience of women who have given birth at a maternity hospital. However, we thank you for your interest in this project.

Yes, the questionnaire is not suitable:
- women under the age of 18;
- for women who do not speak one of the following languages ​​into which the questionnaire has been translated: Albanian, Croatian, French, English, Italian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish and German;
 - for women who have undergone severe health complications after childbirth requiring hospitalization in intensive care;
-to women who have experienced perinatal death.

If you have experienced the dramatic experience of losing your baby during pregnancy / during childbirth / in the first months after giving birth, we suggest you, if you feel the need, to look for the support of a figure who can give you necessary support.

The results of the project will be published on this site: you can find them in the “Documents” section.
