Separate questionnaires were sent to mothers and partners who had experienced an antepartum singleton stillbirth at or after 22 gestational weeks during 2016\u20132019. The questionnaire covered five major topics: stillbirth diagnosis, delivery, information on postmortem examinations, aftercare at the ward, and follow-up appointment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2022-0246_abs_003\">\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>One hundred nineteen letters were sent and 57 (47.9%) of the mothers and 46 (38.7%) of their partners responded. Both mothers and their partners felt well supported during delivery. They were also satisfied with the time holding their newborn. Partners reported even higher satisfaction in this aspect with a significant within-dyad difference (p=0.049). Parents were generally pleased with the support at the ward. However, both groups were less satisfied with social worker counseling (mothers 53.7%, partners 61.0%). The majority felt that the follow-up visit was helpful. Nonetheless, a remarkable proportion felt that the follow-up visit increased their anxiousness (25.9%, 14.0%, p=0.018). Partners rated their mood higher than mothers (p=0.001). Open feedback revealed that the support received after discharge from hospital was often insufficient.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2022-0246_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our study showed that the parents who experience stillbirth in our institution receive mostly adequate care and support during their hospital stay.
