“…Premature birth and the newborn intensive care environment are stressful to both mother and infant and are associated with long-term consequences to the parent-child relationship. 22,29 Massage, 16 skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) 21 and other intervention strategies 22 have been used in the newborn intensive care environment to decrease stress and improve parent-child interactions. We noted a high level of compliance by mothers who performed the physical activity intervention for their infants.…”

Objective: To determine if physical activity delivered by an infant's mother would be as effective in promoting bone mineral acquisition in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants as the same intervention administered by a trained therapist.Patients and methods: Preterm VLBW infants were randomized to receive daily physical activity administered by the infant's mother (MOM, n ¼ 11) or a trained therapist (OT, n ¼ 11), or control (n ¼ 11). Physical activity consisted of range of motion movements against passive resistance to all extremities for 5 to 10 min daily. All infants were fed mother's milk with fortification to 24 kcal oz À1 . Dual energy x-ray of the forearm bone area (BA, cm 2 ), mineral content (BMC, g), and density (BMD, g/cm 2 ) and measurement of bone formation (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, BAP) and resorption (urine pyridinium crosslinks of collagen, Pyd) were obtained at study entry and at 2.0 kg of body weight.Result: Forearm BA and BMC gains were greater in MOM and OT infants compared to the control infants despite similar postnatal growth rate and nutrient intake. Serum BAP levels decreased in controls but remained unchanged in MOM and OT infants. Urine Pyd levels were similar at baseline to 2.0 kg for all groups. These findings suggest greater bone growth and mineral acquisition in MOM and OT infants than control infants. Conclusion:This study demonstrates that a physical activity program administered by the infant's own mother is as equally effective as therapist-administered physical activity in promoting greater bone growth and mineral acquisition in preterm VLBW infants.

“…This is in agreement with some studies that show that the level of stress is not necessarily associated with the severity of the newborn, but with other factors 1,13,17,23 . Authors argue that the psychological trauma of having a sick child is more related to the alteration in their parental role than to gestational age, birth weight and even length of stay in the NICU 1,21 . However, another study 8 indicates that there are differences in stress levels when considering the gestational age of the newborn, the length of hospitalization and the diagnosis of the newborn.…”

“…In addition, it has been seen that the context of a NICU affects the relationship between the parents and the NB 11,[18][19][20][21][22] . There is a separation between them, the possibilities of physical contact are interfered by medical interventions and other people spend more time with the baby.…”

Estrés en padres de recién nacidos hospitalizados en una unidad de paciente crítico neonatal AbstractIntroduction: The birth of a child that requires hospitalization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be very stressful for parents. Objective: To determine the stress level of parents of newborns (NB) hospitalized in a level III NICU in Santiago, and its association with clinical and sociodemographic variables. Patients and Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study. 373 admissions were evaluated. The sampling was non-probabilistic and included parents of RN admitted to the UPCN between 7 and 21 days of hospitalization. Only parents which have visited the RN at least three times were included. Instruments: i) Questionnaire to obtain data which could not be obtained from the medical record; ii) Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS:NICU) which measures the perception of parents about stressors from the physical and psychological environment of the UPCN. Results: 100 parents of 59 hospitalized NB participated in the study. The average parental stress was 2.87±0.69. The subscale scores got higher was "Relationship with the baby and parental role". Complications in pregnancy, prenatal diagnosis or prenatal hospitalization, did not affect the stress level or the presence of prematurity, respiratory diseases, congenital malformations, genopathies or requirement of mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: Stress levels presented in parents are unrelated to gender and to the studied clinical variables.
