Factors affecting parental satisfaction in the neonatal intensive care unit

Parental satisfaction towards care given at neonatal intensive care unit in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…According to this study, parents who lived in rural areas were around three times more likely than those who lived in urban areas to be satisfied with the treatment received by their neonates at the NICU. This result is in line with research conducted in Greece [ 55 ].…”

“…Our meta-regression analysis showed that parents whose babies had a shorter length of hospital stay in the neonatal intensive care unit were about three times more likely to report satisfaction with the care delivered compared to parents whose babies had longer hospital stays. This result is in line with research done from Iran, Vietnam, Norway, and Greece [ 26 , 50 , 51 , 55 ]. The implication here is that shorter hospital stays for newborns in the NICU might improve parental satisfaction.…”

Parental satisfaction with neonatal intensive care units: a quantitative cross-sectional study

“…The regression analysis also revealed a negative and significant relation to the total score of satisfaction, indicating that those with lower education were more satisfied with the NICU. This result is consistent with Tsironi’s study [19], who also found that parents with basic education expressed a higher level of satisfaction, possibly explained by their lower expectations and demands from the health care system. A Canadian study found no association between parental education level and parental satisfaction [18].…”

Parental satisfaction and its associated factors towards neonatal intensive care unit service: a cross-sectional study

“…Also in this study parents who came from rural areas were more satisfied than parents from urban areas. This founding was also similar to a study done in Greece [ 30 ] found that parents from rural areas were more satisfied. The probable reason for this might be parents from rural areas may have a low-level awareness of the hospital, expectations, and demand for NICU service as compared with actual practice.…”
