“…First, in this study, most families with premature infants had elderly or social childcare institutions to help them care for the children. The study shows that good family and social support could reduce the care burden of those parents [ 31 , 32 ]. Second, in this research, the age of participating parents ranges from 18 to 45 years old.…”

Objectives. To assess the extent of the readiness for hospital discharge and the correlation with discharge teaching quality among parents of premature infants’ in the NICU. Background. Low readiness for discharge from the hospital can lead to negative outcomes in healthcare for infants born prematurely and their parents. Discharge guidelines are a basic approach to ensure the readiness of the parents for discharge from the hospital. No investigation has ever been conducted into the sufficiency of hospital discharge guidelines for premature infants and their impact on parental readiness for hospital discharge. Design. Data was collected from four hospitals in China using a correlational descriptive study. Methods. Two hundred and eight parents of premature NICU-hospitalized infants of four tertiary hospitals in Henan Province from May to October 2020 were enrolled. The general information questionnaire, the readiness for hospital discharge scale- (RHDS-) parent form, and the quality of discharge teaching scale- (QDTS-) parent form were used for data collection. Spearman correlation analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results. The total score for hospital discharge readiness was high ( 8.05 ± 1.11 ). The total score of the quality of discharge guidelines was moderate ( 7.44 ± 1.44 ). Moreover, the discharge teaching quality was positively correlated with the parents’ readiness. Positive correlations were found between PRHDS and QDTS subscales, including content received and delivery, physical-emotional status, knowledge, and expected support. Conclusion. The quality of the discharge guidelines perceived by parents of premature infants was moderate, which may have reduced their readiness for hospital discharge. Relevance to Clinical Practice. This study furnishes basic information on the importance of readiness of discharge for the parents of premature infants. The teaching guides nurses to enhance the quality of discharge teaching and the readiness of parents for discharge from the hospital.

“…Black mothers have been found to experience varying levels and types of stress in the NICU, as well as higher levels of distress associated with having an infant in the NICU compared to white women ( 18 , 19 ). Spanish-speaking mothers tend to have significantly lower levels of social support compared with English-speaking mothers, and immigrant families with preterm infants hospitalized in the Canadian NICUs are at increased risk of depressive symptoms compared to non-immigrant families ( 20 , 21 ). Certain populations, including Black and Hispanic mothers, may be at high risk for mental stress and require greater or more targeted support in the NICU ( 22 ).…”

Objective: To characterize the lived experiences of stress associated with having a preterm infant hospitalized in the NICU among Black and Hispanic mothers. Methods: We performed a qualitative content analysis of secondary data from two prior studies that included 39 in-depth interviews with Black and Hispanic mothers of preterm infants at 3 U.S. NICUs. We used a constant comparative method to select important concepts and to develop codes and subsequent themes. Results: Black and Hispanic mothers described stressors in the following domains and categories: Individual (feeling overwhelmed, postpartum medical complications, previous stressful life events, competing priorities); Hospital (perceived poor quality of care, provider communication issues, logistical issues); Community (lack of social supports, lack of financial resources, work challenges). Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that stressors both inside and outside of the hospital affect the lived experiences of stress by Black and Hispanic mothers during NICU hospitalization.
