The relationship between healthcare providers and parents of infants in neonatal intensive care unit is based on trust and constitutes a core measure of family‐centred care and health. The aim of the present qualitative study was to explore mothers and nurses experiences of trust in one another around the caregiving of the hospitalised infant in intensive neonatal care unit. Focused ethnographic research study conducted through observations and in‐depth interviews with 20 mothers and 16 nurses in NICU of Tabriz (Iran) in 2017. Two main themes of ‘gradual and fragile trust of mother‐to‐nurse’ (subthemes: Primary trust‐mistrust, mother's trust to responsible nurse, mother trust Increase with skilful nurse performance, and vulnerability to trust) and ‘gradual and fragile trust of nurse‐to‐mother’ (subthemes: Nurse's initial assessment of trust to mother's readiness to participate, Development of trust to mother, and vulnerability of nurse's trust to mother) were obtained. The present study revealed that mutual trust between the nurse and the mother in the care of the infant was a gradual and progressive process that was achieved over time. Complexities around the care of a hospitalised infant influenced how fragile or vulnerable the trust became between nurse and mother. Findings from this research can be used in supporting increased maternal participation in infant care and improvement of family‐centred care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

“…14 Jordanian parents stated that the support of health care team decreased their tension and stress. 15 Iranian researchers stated that it is necessary for the health care team in NICUs to plan care based on families' values and beliefs, and in this way, they can support families. 9 The most important concern of Swedish parents regarding the discharge of their neonate from NICU was their unreadiness for discharge and lack of information, especially about neonates' nutrition.…”

Family-centered care (FCC) is one of the important elements of care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The aim of this study was to understand the nurses' perception of FCC in NICUs. This qualitative study was performed using conventional content analysis. Participants in this study included 18 nurses who were selected by a purposeful method. Semistructured, in-depth and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the participants. All interviews were written down, reviewed, and analyzed. Two categories were identified after the data analysis: (1) prerequisite for providing FCC and (2) parents' participation. Prerequisite for providing FCC consisted of two subcategories namely suitable facilities and adequate personnel. Parents' participation included subcategories of parents: neonate's attachment and parents' training. Nurses' perception of FCC in NICUs can facilitate an appropriate condition for the participation of family members in the care of neonates.

“…Parents needs for support and guidance from nurses is great and it varies at different stages of their journey [6]. Both Mok [22] and Abuidhail [23] identify considerable gap exists between the level of expected support and the actual support received by mothers. In both these studies mothers felt that they were not supported by the healthcare team.…”

Background: Mothers of premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) have complex needs and require a significant amount of support during the NICU admission. However, little is known about Iranian mothers support needs in the NICU. To explore Iranian mother’s experience of support in the NICU as well as explore nursing perceptions of mothers needs and practices that support mothers in the NICU.Methods: A focused ethnographic approach was adopted. Observation and interviews with 21 mothers, 18 nurses and 5 doctors were undertaken over a seven month period. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using the Roper and Shapira (2000) five-step framework. Result: The specific support needs of mothers of neonates in the NICU did not appear to be adequately identified by the treating healthcare team. There was also poor communication and inadequate sharing of information regarding the neonate’s clinical condition, diagnosis and treatment between both medical/nursing staff and the mother. This appeared to be a source of maternal distress. Conclusion: Cultural perspective Iranian nurses perceive providing support to mothers as an act of human kindness, a new paradigm is required where supporting mothers becomes a fundamental component of care provision.
