Objetivo: analizar el nacimiento de un niño prematuro y su posterior hospitalización en la Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo Neonatal, el cual casi siempre toma por sorpresa a sus padres, quienes a partir de ese momento se ven inmersos en una serie de situaciones que nunca consideraron en sus vidas y que determinan la relación con su hijo y su capacidad de cuidarlo. Método: para conocer las vivencias de las madres durante la gestación, el nacimiento y la hospitalización de su hijo prematuro se realizó un estudio fenomenológico con diez madres. Resultados: los hallazgos muestran que las mujeres vivieron la gestación como una sorpresa de corta duración y final inesperado, percibieron a su hijo distante y ajeno, lo cual es diferente a lo que viven las madres de niños nacidos sanos y a término. Las situaciones que las mujeres vivieron durante el nacimiento y la hospitalización de su hijo retardaron la apropiación del rol de madre cuidadora debido a las restricciones para estar a su lado en la UCIN y participar de su cuidado. Conclusión: estos hallazgos indican que es prioritario implantar estrategias institucionales de cuidado que propendan por la cercanía y el contacto madre-hijo como el cuidado canguro intrahospitalario.

Objective: Analyze the birth of child born prematurely and hospitalized in a Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit, which usually takes the child's parents by surprise. From the moment of birth, parents find themselves facing a series of circumstances they had not previously considered in their lives and that determine their relationship as well as their ability to care for their child. Method: A ten-mother case study was undertaken in order to become familiar with a mother's experience during the pregnancy, birth and hospitalization of their premature children. Results: Findings reveal that contrary to mothers who deliver healthy full term babies, these mothers experience a surprisingly short and an abruptly ending pregnancy; they felt their child was distant and alien to them. Because of the restrictions of the NICU, the circumstances surrounding the birth and hospitalization of their child delayed their appropriation of their role as a caring mother. Conclusion: These findings reveal that implanting institutional care strategies that encourage closeness and mother-child contact such as intra-mural kangaroo care is paramount. 70 Key WordsMother-child relationships, newborn, premature, child care.

The methodologies used according to the state of technology as well as gains and areas for improvement both teachers and students with effective use of ITC.Conclusions. One of the main factors for the successful implementation of ITC in higher education is the favorable perception of teachers in front of them, because even though some teachers do not consider it necessary to introduce new ways of teaching and learning, many others are willing and committed to innovate and propose new pedagogical challenges using the resources provided by these technologies. The results of this experience show that the technological and pedagogical innovation is key to expanding coverage, undergraduate and postgraduate nursing as well as for the strengthening to discipline, the conceptualization and the practice of the human care.
