Estrés en padres de recién nacidos hospitalizados en una unidad de paciente crítico neonatal AbstractIntroduction: The birth of a child that requires hospitalization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be very stressful for parents. Objective: To determine the stress level of parents of newborns (NB) hospitalized in a level III NICU in Santiago, and its association with clinical and sociodemographic variables. Patients and Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study. 373 admissions were evaluated. The sampling was non-probabilistic and included parents of RN admitted to the UPCN between 7 and 21 days of hospitalization. Only parents which have visited the RN at least three times were included. Instruments: i) Questionnaire to obtain data which could not be obtained from the medical record; ii) Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS:NICU) which measures the perception of parents about stressors from the physical and psychological environment of the UPCN. Results: 100 parents of 59 hospitalized NB participated in the study. The average parental stress was 2.87±0.69. The subscale scores got higher was "Relationship with the baby and parental role". Complications in pregnancy, prenatal diagnosis or prenatal hospitalization, did not affect the stress level or the presence of prematurity, respiratory diseases, congenital malformations, genopathies or requirement of mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: Stress levels presented in parents are unrelated to gender and to the studied clinical variables.

ABSTRACT:The aim of this qualitative study was to analyze family participation in care delivery to newborns in daily practice at a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The study was carried out at five hospitals in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study subjects were healthcare professionals taking care of newborns hospitalized at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the relatives of these infants. Data were collected through participant observation and daily conversations and analyzed using Content Analysis. The data permitted capturing aspects of family participation in newborn care related to institutional organization, interaction with healthcare professionals and the care process. Different actions favoring mothers' participation in care delivery to their children were identified at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Nevertheless, the study showed that these actions have not been incorporated into the daily activities at the institution, nor into healthcare professionals' practice.

“…Even though many NICUs have become more family-focused, becoming the parent of a preterm infant still implies coming face-to-face with the unfamiliar technical environment of the NICU, as well as the challenges of assuming the parental role (Aagaard & Hall, 2008;Lundqvist et al, 2007). Parents who begin their parenthood at a NICU are at risk of developing stress that is related to the loss of the expected parental role which includes negative feelings of being separated from their infant, ambivalence about their parenthood and helplessness with regard to how to support and protect the infant (Aagaard & Hall, 2008;Jackson, Ternestedt, & Schollin, 2003;Lundqvist et al, 2007;Turan, Basbakkal, & Ozbek, 2008). It is also well-documented that, aside from the environmental factors within the NICU itself, worries about the child's survival and their risk of future disability are other sources of stress for parents (Jackson et al, 2003;Lundqvist et al, 2007).…”

This is the second part of a study that is following eight Swedish fathers of very preterm children using qualitative interviews. The aim was to illuminate fathers' lived experience of the three years since the birth of their very preterm child using a hermeneutic phenomenological method. The fathers described their lived experience as a process of reorganizing life, which constituted the overarching theme. They described a journey from the past to the present in which they adapted ordinary family life. The sub-themes identified were: struggling to endure, experiencing empowerment, and building a secure base. The results may serve as a basis for neonatal staff to optimize care for both fathers and mothers during the child's hospitalisation, as well as subsequent to their discharge.
