Forças Que Interferem Na Maternagem Em Unidade De Terapia Intensiva Neonatal

“…However, the hospitalization of the newborn in this place may expose the family to emotional vulnerability, especially since the NICU is associated with the possibility of the child's death. [18][19] In this study, the fear of losing the newborn and the strangeness of the NICU environment had a negative impact on the force field.…”

“…18 In turn, positive interactions between the health team and the family can help these people overcome difficulties and suffering which occur in the NICU. 19 Considering the adopted methodological framework, not measuring the intensity of each force that acts to boost or restrict the mothering process is presented as a limitation of this research. In order to better understand the impact of hospitalization and building and maintaining child-family bonding we also suggest new studies that consider parents, other relatives and health professionals.…”

“…Thus, it is up to health professionals to provide support in coping with these difficult days, through humanized care, which is founded on the bonds and responsibilities which go beyond the biological assistance of the body. 1,19 In this perspective, the offer of support and effective communication represent forces produced by the health team that contribute significantly to the mothering process. 23 The quality of care depends on both technology and the human factor, and the health team needs to understand that both are important to their professional performance.…”

Parent's support group as a transforming experience for families at a neonatal unit

“…Moreover, other elements linked to the characteristics of the neonatal environment contribute to parental stress as the change in the clinical conditions of the newborn, administrative rules and routines; barriers in the communication with the multidisciplinary team, and difficulty in building parenthood in a collective and unknown environment [2][3][4] . Receiving the family in this care environment, integrating them and discussing with them the best treatment procedures to be performed is essential so that emotional experiences that may occur during this period are worked and the stress and the suffering of the family can be alleviated 2,5,6 . Thus, practices that bring families to participate in the care of the newborn, not only favor the emotional bond between parents and baby, but also are means to reduce stress, anxiety and fear caused by hospitalization.…”
