“…In relation to the prevalence of depressive symptoms among caregivers of NBIs hospitalized in the NICU, prior studies reported a 10-59% prevalence. 1,6,7,9,12,19 In our population, the prevalence was close to the lower limit of this range in both measurements.…”

“…On the contrary, in developing countries, there is little information to establish the size of the problem so as to conduct timely interventions to improve the quality of health care and favor the bond among NBIs, mothers, and caregivers. [9][10][11][12] Therefore, the objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their …”

Introduction.A high prevalence of depressive symptoms has been reported in family members of newborn infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units. This causes a high negative impact on the newborn infant-family bond. Objective. To establish the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated factors in caregivers of newborn infants hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit in Colombia. Materials and Methods. Cross-sectional, analytical study conducted at a tertiary care health facility specialized in cardiovascular disease. The Beck Depression Inventory-II was administered upon admission to the NICU and on Day 8. Depressive symptoms were considered present if caregivers had intermittent, moderate, severe, or extreme depression. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done using binomial regression models. Results. A total of 107 children and their caregivers were studied. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 20.56% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.77-28.34) at baseline and 12.86% (95% CI: 4.1-20.89) on Day 8. Male caregivers and caregivers older than 30 years old had a lower risk of having depressive symptoms whereas being the head of the household, having completed primary education or no education at all, and having a baby with an Apgar score at birth of 1-6 were risk factors for developing depressive symptoms. Conclusions. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was high. Being the head of the household, having a low level of education, and an Apgar score at birth of 1-6 were associated with depressive symptoms among caregivers.

“…More frequent NC may serve as a protective factor that reduces the impact of depleted physiological and biological resources on infants and may lead to more typical set points linked to exposure to pain-related stress (32). Additionally, minimizing infants' pain may reduce parents' stress and enhance their caretaking (33). Studies have also documented difficulties in language development, even in children who were born preterm and did not have severe clinical complications in the perinatal period, after controlling for general cognitive level at 36 months (34).…”

During their stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), preterm infants are exposed to adverse stressful experiences that deplete their resources and often result in problematic functioning and developmental outcomes. The impact of specific developmental care practices (e.g., kangaroo care) on preterm infants has been researched extensively. Moreover, the dissemination of knowledge about developmental care has facilitated broader neuroprotective care (NC) that combines different kinds of developmental care practices in different NICUs. However, little is known about how variation in NC affects infants and their long‐term developmental outcomes. Using the findings from the Neonatal Adequate Care for Quality of Life project, in this article, we discuss how variation in the NC incorporated by NICUs into standard care affects short‐ and long‐term outcomes in children born preterm.
