Abstract: Interviews were conducted with 36 mothers of premature infants to assess their perceptions and satisfaction with their infants' care 7 and 7 months after discharge from the NICU. The extent to which mothers received information that assisted them in caring for their infant at home also was assessed. In general, nearly all mothers reported receiving information related to their baby's health and routine care of their baby, such as bathing and feeding.

“…Most importantly, it appears that many parents do not feel that their concerns regarding their child's development and needs are given due consideration by early years practitioners and teachers. In addition they already have experienced feelings of isolation and exclusion from community groups such as parent and toddler groups and as noted by Drewett et al, (2004) and parents in this study may have experienced PTSD, a sense of loss of control (Meck et al, 1995) and negative hospital experience (Moehn and Rossetti, 1996). They also have experienced the loss of one child (where there were multiple births) and/or resuscitation of their child and multiple, intrusive interventions to ensure their child's survival.…”

“…É importante discutir em que medida as mães acabam não atentando para suas próprias experiências com o bebê ao estarem mais voltadas às ordens da equipe. Essa situação aponta a importância de que o planejamento da alta seja pensado caso a caso, levando em conta as percepções maternas sobre a preparação para assumir a responsabilidade pelo bebê (Damato, 1991;Meck et al, 1995). Ademais, é importante refletir sobre o impacto das orientações da equipe nos primeiros momentos em casa sobre a rotina familiar após a alta, e como cabe à equipe fornecer orientações de forma sensível e adequada a cada caso.…”

“…Um estudo sobre os sentimentos maternos em relação à alta do bebê mostrou que, no momento da alta, 90% das mães se sentiam preparadas para cuidar do bebê. Essas mães demonstraram altos níveis de satisfação e envolvimento com o processo de alta da UTI Neo (Meck, Fowler, Claflin, & Rasmussen, 1995), o que oferece importantes dados para refletir sobre a relevância de envolvê-las no cuidado do bebê durante toda a internação.…”
