“…Young et al (2006) analyze nurses' attitudes towards the principles of FCC in relation to their level of education. This study confirms the conclusions of Finlayson et al (2014) and Beily et al (2013), suggesting that nurses with higher education are more sensitive to the needs of parents and are more conscious of the positives of FCC for a baby and its family. At the same time nurses emphasize the need for communication as a key element in the negotiation of roles between health professionals and parents.…”

Aim: The aim of the following review is to analyze the role of nurses in promoting relations between parents and premature newborns according to the concept of Family-centered care. Design: The type of study -review. Methods: Both licensed and free-access electronic databases were used to search relevant studies from Czech and foreign sources for the period 2000-2015: CINAHL EBSCOhost, SCOPUS, PubMed and Medline. The selection criteria for the studies to be analyzed were as follows: both quantitative and qualitative studies taking into account parents aged 19-44 with premature newborns from 24-36 weeks of gestation. Experimental studies and imprecisely defined studies were eliminated. Only 21 of the 49 research studies considered met the selection criteria. This review involves seven of the studies: three quantitative studies -one randomized study, two cross-sectional studies, and four case studies. Results: Based on analysis of the studies, it appears that Familycentered care should be considered an essential means of support for parents of premature newborns. The role of nurses in promoting relations between parents and their premature newborns was highly appreciated in the areas of therapeutic communication, efficient work organization and choice of appropriate interventions. Conclusion: Studies focusing on the application of the principles of Family-centered care stress its advantages for parents, premature newborns, and medical staff. The conclusion of most of the studies is that nurses play a unique role in eliminating the degree of trauma experienced by parents, and in promoting relations between parents and premature newborns according to the concept of Family-centered care.

“…18,28 However, despite the discussions that address the need to humanize care for families in situations of emotional vulnerability, systematized strategies of formal support for these people are incipient. 2,[29][30] To enter the family life and look with the eyes of those who live the experience not only as a spectator can contribute to the professional's understanding of the true impact of the disease in the family dynamic and sensitize them to the valorization of the human experiences and to have compassion for the pain of others. 21 In this study, the mothers indicated that the work of the multi-professional team contributed to the mothering process in the NICU.…”

“…When this happens, the people involved in this process begin to experience feelings such as anxiety and suffering, as well as emotional stress. [1][2][3] Most of the care given to the newborn in the NICU is performed by health professionals, who usually define who, how and when to care for the child. This situation can provoke tensions between professionals and the family due to the confrontation between models, practices, interests and opinions.…”

Objective: to identify the driving and restrictive forces involved in the maternity process for newborns hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit.Method: descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, which uses the Force Field Theory as a reference. Ten mothers participated. Data were collected from September to December 2014, through a semi-structured interview, and submitted to content analysis.Results: effective communication, inclusion of the family in care, teamwork, learning and adequate physical space served as forces that fostered mothering. Authoritative behaviors, stigmas related to the neonatal intensive care unit, lack of specialized care, failure to perform care for the newborn, physical fatigue, emotional stress and changes in the daily routine acted as forces that restricted the mothering process.Conclusion: identifying the field of forces made it possible to understand factors and situations that influence mothering and to diagnose the true biopsychosocial demands of mothers of hospitalized newborns. Resultados: comunicación efectiva, inclusión de la familia en el cuidado, trabajo en equipo, aprendizaje y espacio físico adecuado actuaron como fuerzas que impulsaron la maternidad. Las conductas autoritarias, estigmas relacionadas con la unidad de terapia intensiva neonatal, falta de asistencia especializada, no realizar cuidados al recién nacido, cansancio físico, estrés emocional y cambios en la rutina diaria actuaron como fuerzas que restringieron la maternidad. DESCRIPTORS:Conclusión: identificar el campo de fuerzas posibilitó comprender factores y situaciones que influencian la maternidad y diagnosticar las verdaderas demandas biopsicosociales de las madres de los recién nacidos hospitalizados.DESCRIPTORES: Niño hospitalizado.

“…Inclusion of objective measures would provide a further dimension to the study. However, the qualitative data regarding mothers perceptions was felt to be important, and there is a growing body of research that has forefronted mothers' perceptions of their infants and experiences around birth (Finlayson, Dixon, Smith, Dykes, & Flacking, 2014;Nesbitt et al, 2012).…”
