“…All 11 studies reported that transition was an inherently stressful experience, causing parent distress. Regardless of any other positive or negative aspects of the transition experience, parents consistently expressed fear of the unknown and uncertainty about what the future held for their infant (Kolotylo et al ; McDonald Gibbins & Chapman ; van Manen ; Granrud et al ). Preterm birth was ‘ unexpected, difficult and chaotic ’ (Granrud et al ., , p.e13), and subsequent transitions were crisis‐provoking for parents, often exacerbated by prior stressful experiences (Kuhnly & Freston ).…”

“…12 4 Describe how parents of premature infants experience transporting their baby from the neonatal intensive care unit of a university hospital (NICU-U) to a local hospital (NICU-L) . 13 The analysis of qualitative content resulted in one theme: living in uncertainty about whether the baby will survive, and three categories: being estranged from the baby; fear that something will happen to the baby during transportation and experience the closeness to the baby. The results also revealed that the parents went through development transitions, situations and healthillness.…”

“…The results also revealed that the parents went through development transitions, situations and healthillness. 13 5 Understand the maternal perception about the family changes resulting from the hospitalization of the premature newborn in the NICU and analyze the strategies for coping with these changes. 14 It is paramount that health professionals understand the experiences of puerperal women and their families so that they can plan culturally flexible care that values family presence and diminishes negative feelings such as uncertainty.…”

Objective: to investigate actions for the reduction of uncertainties experienced by parents of newborns hospitalized in Intensive Care Units. Method: integrative review, with search of scientific production between 2012 and 2016, in the Medline, Journal Storage and Capes Periodical Portals, with descriptors controlled in English and Portuguese. Also, four articles have been added from the manual search on Google Achademics. Content analysis was carried out in a categorical and thematic manner, from the identification of the sense nuclei of the ten selected articles. Results: three categories were identified: contributors to uncertainty; interventions by the health team that helped reduce uncertainty; coping strategies adopted by parents. Conclusion: the literature showed that the uncertainty is a feeling experienced by all parents, being influenced mainly by the parents' cognitive capacity, familiarity with the fact, congruence of the facts and the structure of social support. Actions that help reduce the uncertainties of parents become essential, since the inadequacy of this new condition can aggravate the health of the parents and, consequently, the infant. Descriptors: Uncertainty; Theory of Nursing; Adaptation; Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; Parents. RESUMOObjetivo: investigar ações para a redução de incertezas vivenciadas por pais de recém-nascidos internados em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva. Método: revisão integrativa, com busca de produção científica entre 2012 e 2016, nas bases de dados Medline, Journal Storage e no Portal de Periódicos da Capes, com os descritores controlados em inglês e português. Também, foram acrescentados quatro artigos a partir da busca manual no Google Achademics. A análise de conteúdo foi realizada de forma categorial e temática, a partir da identificação dos núcleos de sentido dos dez artigos selecionados. Resultados: identificaram-se três categorias: contribuintes da incerteza; intervenções da equipe de saúde que auxiliaram na redução da incerteza; estratégias de enfrentamento adotadas pelos pais. Conclusão: a literatura evidenciou que a incerteza é um sentimento vivenciado por todos os pais, sendo influenciada, principalmente, pela capacidade cognitiva dos pais, familiaridade com o fato, congruência dos fatos e a estrutura de apoio social. Ações que auxiliam na redução das incertezas dos pais tornam-se imprescindíveis, pois a inadaptação a essa nova condição pode agravar a saúde dos pais e, consequentemente, do infante. Descritores: Incerteza; Teoria de Enfermagem; Adaptação; Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal; Pais.
