“…A previous study has reported infant pain management as a priority concern for fathers in an SNICU. 4,13 It may be that the doctors were either confident that pain management strategies were in place or that doctors' underestimate parents' stress. 14 This underestimation extended to understanding that parents want to feel free to choose to stay or leave during painful procedures.…”

Aim As more infants survive surgery in the newborn period for major congenital anomalies, the focus has shifted to the quality of care for parents as well as infants. In contemporary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), doctors are encouraged to practice family‐centred care and partner with parents in their infant's care. This study explored doctors' perceptions and parents' self‐reported needs and stressors in a surgical NICU. Methods From January 2014 to September 2015, parents of infants admitted for general surgery for a major congenital anomaly who were present in the NICU between 48 and 72 h of admission and doctors caring for their infant at the time of data collection were invited to participate. Matched data were provided using the Neonatal Family Needs Inventory and the Parental Stressor Scale:NICU. Results Matched data for 12 doctor–parent dyads showed that doctors (neonatal medical trainees) consistently under‐rated the importance of parents' needs and identified fewer of mothers' than fathers' most important needs. Doctors also consistently under‐rated parents' stressors. They perceived few of fathers', but all of mothers', greatest stressors. Thematic analysis revealed four themes: infant pain management; parental autonomy; empathy; and communicating reassurance and education to parents. Conclusion The findings suggest incongruences between doctors' perceptions and parents' self‐reported needs and stressors. While there is hesitation in making recommendations with this sample size, the findings highlight issues that may inform further research and contribute to a dialogue regarding the role of doctors in family‐centred relationship‐based models of care in the NICU.

Aims: To comparing maternal anxiety levels for infants in the NICU and mother in the postnatal care-service (PCS) for stable newborns. Methodology This descriptive study was carried out in Al-Hilla Children's and Birth Hospital, Al-Hilla City . The 1 st 200 families, counting pregnant mother in personal care services (n=100) and pregnant women in neonatal intensive care unit (n=100), backed up by participant as of May , 2018. As data gathering tools, including the STAI TX-1-STAI TX-2 inventory, questionnaires were used to detect the characteristic of mother and newborn. Results Characteristic rates of anxiety were not substantially different between NICU neonate mothers and PCS neonate mothers (t = 0.588, p = 0.557), while status level of anxiety varied greatly among the 2 classes (t = -5.109, p = < 0.001). Motherland anxiety level were determined to be higher for mother whose children in the NICU compared with those of mother whose children were on personal care-services. Conclusion It can boost anxiety and lead to mothers being a mother to a newborn sick. During this difficult time, nursing care may rise mothers' ability to deal with the sick stresses of the newborn
