“…The literature describes potential impacts on parents, such as increasing parents’ self-confidence, parents’ capacity to solve problems, adaptative coping, self-esteem, and resilience [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The impact on parents’ emotions were measured in two studies [ 24 , 32 ]. Both studies showed, mostly using qualitative surveys, that parental interventions such as individual peer support or group meetings were appreciated [ 24 , 32 ].…”

Parents with a sick child in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) usually experience stress, anxiety, and vulnerability. These precarious feelings can affect early parent–child interactions and have consequences for the child’s neurodevelopment. Parents who have had a sick child in an NICU (veteran parents) can offer helpful interventions for these vulnerable families. This article is a scoping review of parental interventions used with the families of NICU infants, and an overview of French perspectives. Two independent reviewers studied the scientific literature published in English between 2001 to 2021 using Covidence software. The databases used were MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, the Cochrane Database, and Google Scholar. Themes were identified from the articles’ results using an open coding approach. The data are presented in a narrative format. Ten articles were included, and four major themes addressed: (1) description of activities, (2) recommendations, (3) impact, and (4) barriers (resulting from recruitment, training, remuneration, and organization). Activities were very diverse, and a step-by-step implementation was recommended by all authors. Peer-support interventions might be a potential resource for those anxious parents and improve their NICU experiences. These challenges are described by SOS Préma in France. This article brings together recent studies on partnership in the NICU. It is an innovative topic in neonatology with vast issues to explore.

“…This study focused on the evaluation of peer-to-peer support meetings for parents of infants in the NICU 2. The NICU technology can be frightening and dehumanising4 and often times families experience an overload of emotions and feelings, such as fear, guilt, anxiety, sadness, hopelessness and frustration.…”
