“…This implies that medical personnel in the NICU should listen to parents’ fears and expectations, and provide accurate and honest information about the premature infant’s medical condition, care, and expected outcomes. Evidence suggests that parents of premature infants hospitalized in the NICU wish to understand the technical aspects of care and have the opportunity to discuss their experiences and emotions with staff members (Bialoskurski, Cox, & Wiggins, 2002; De Rouck & Leys, 2009; Skeens et al, 2016). Parents who feel well-informed are satisfied with neonatal care (Cooper et al, 2007; Weiss, Goldlust, & Vaucher, 2010) and feel involved in caring for their child (Bramwell & Weindling, 2005; Gooding et al, 2011).…”

“…Therefore, staff members must understand parents’ information needs and effectively communicate using terminology that is easy to understand (Bialoskurski et al, 2002; De Rouck & Leys, 2009; Orzalesi & Aite, 2011; Wigert, Dellenmark, & Bry, 2013). Some reports indicate that parents prefer to receive information about the child’s medical condition and treatment directly from doctors, while nurses provide more emotional support (Skeens et al, 2016; Wigert et al, 2013). In addition, as neonates’ advocates, NICU nurse should not only answer parental questions honestly, ensure the infants received the best possible care, but also sincerely care about the whole family, train parents infant care (e.g., feeding, changing diapers and clothes, cleaning).…”

“…A capacidade de os pais compreender e assimilar a informação é outro fator facilitador 7 . Essa capacidade é afetada pelo stresse associado ao internamento, pela quantidade de informação especializada que é transmitida 9 e pelo nível de Letramento em Saúde (LS) parental 10 . A informação pode, inclusive, tornar-se inútil quando não é transmitida atempadamente, não é monitorizada a compreensão ou quando os esclarecimentos são inconsistentes 6 .…”

“…En la práctica, los padres valorizan la información transmitida en la UN, se sienten apoyados emocionalmente (6) , envueltos en los cuidados (7) y en el proceso de volverse padre (8) . Sin embargo, los profesionales de salud deben estar atentos al nivel de Alfabetización en Salud (AS) (9) parental, a su capacidad de comprensión y asimilación de la información especializada en salud y, al mismo tiempo, a su estado emocional (10) , pues estos factores van a interferir en una toma de decisión informada.…”

“…En la UN los padres han privilegiado las metodologías interactivas, especialmente internet y las aplicaciones móviles (app) (13) en detrimento de los libros o folletos para obtener información en salud (14) y apoyan la introducción de app en este contexto (15) , por su ventaja de colocar a disposición información de forma interactiva, envolvente, fácil de usar y adecuada al ritmo, estilo y necesidades individuales de aprendizaje (16) . Las UN también están interesadas en implementar la tecnología digital, es decir, las apps, pues es considerada un medio para promover y expandir el CCF (17) , en especial para personas con un nivel bajo de AS (10) , como los padres en la UN (9,18) . La comprensión de la parentalidad en la UN, como transición de desarrollo y situacional (2) permite considerar el nivel inadecuado de AS de los padres como una condición inhibidora del proceso de transición y la adopción de prácticas de educación para la salud con recurso a tecnologías digitales y sustentadas en los principios de los CCF como condiciones facilitadoras.…”
