In view of the implementation of new care strategies for mothers of high-risk babies attended at neonatal units through a program involving play, recreation and educational activities, this study aims to analyze this experience according to these women's perspectives. A qualitative and descriptive study was conducted at the University Hospital of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Seven mothers were interviewed who had attended at least three activity sessions in the program and signed an informed consent document. The interviews were taped and were guided by the following question: "Tell us about your experience in these group meetings". It was observed that the mothers described the activities as "...they are nice and help to establish ties" and "...they are good because we get some distraction", thus revitalizing them to cope with the stress from long hospitalization. They pointed out the opportunity to learn about some types of care for their children through games and educational films -- "They solve many of our doubts, especially for those who have pre-term babies", as well as the opportunity to do manual work -- "We learned how to embroider, which was something no one knew how to do". This activity resulted in the production of clothing for the child. It was concluded that the program contributed to the process of constructing a more integral and humanized care by focusing on the family and broadening the perspective on hospitals as places that also offer leisure.
RESUMO: No HCFMRP-USP, a enfermagem tem implementado ações dirigidas aos pais com grupos de apoio , treinamento para alta e envolvimento deles no cuidado progressivo do filho . Procurando eXRandir essa assistência, implantamos um programa de apoio envolvendo atividades llidicorecreacionais junto aos pais de bebês hospitalizados nos berçários de risco , cUJo relato constitui objeto do presente estudo. As intervenções são executadas por alunas de enfermagem , que se reúnem semanalmente com os pais , por 2 horas, desenvolvendo técnicas de dinâmica de grupo ; atividades de lazer; oficinas de criatividade envolvendo atividades manuais; discussão de temas básicos . Através dessas novas estratégias de cuidado, espera-se contribuir com o processo de construção de uma assistência mais integral e humanizada na área de neonatologia , tendo como foco a família . PALAVRAS-CHAVE: enfermagem neonatal , assistência aos pais, atividades de lazer INTRODUÇÃONo processo de trabalho em unidades de cuidado intensivo neonatal (UCIN) e em berçários de cuidados intermediários , a enfermagem tem se deparado com necessidades específicas do neonato, que requerem cu idados especializados e hospitalização prolongada, mas também dos pais que apresentam ansiedade e conflitos, ne~essitando de apoio e treinamento para o cuidado do filho . Neste processo de vivenciar a hospitalização do filho em unidades neonatais, os pais apresentam sentimentos de culpa e de luto pela perda do bebê imaginado (Rego , 1991). O evento inesperado do parto prematuro , tendo como resultado um bebê pequeno e frágil, altera o ritmo dos eventos naturais que envolvem o nascimento de uma criança , podendo provocar alterações no funcionamento familiar e nos relacionamentos pessoais (Stjernvisf, 1992).
