“…3 Parents of hospitalized neonates in NICUs think that as they have entered into an unfamiliar environment, they have no control over it. 4 Furthermore, after neonates' hospitalization, parents feel guilty, 5 which causes many parents to experience emotional distress. 6 Meanwhile, family-centered care (FCC) is one of the important elements of the care of neonates 7 which has a protective effect on parents.…”

Family-centered care (FCC) is one of the important elements of care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The aim of this study was to understand the nurses' perception of FCC in NICUs. This qualitative study was performed using conventional content analysis. Participants in this study included 18 nurses who were selected by a purposeful method. Semistructured, in-depth and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the participants. All interviews were written down, reviewed, and analyzed. Two categories were identified after the data analysis: (1) prerequisite for providing FCC and (2) parents' participation. Prerequisite for providing FCC consisted of two subcategories namely suitable facilities and adequate personnel. Parents' participation included subcategories of parents: neonate's attachment and parents' training. Nurses' perception of FCC in NICUs can facilitate an appropriate condition for the participation of family members in the care of neonates.

“…The quality of maternal caregiving is associated with infant neurodevelopment (Bernier et al, 2016;Treyvaud et al, 2009), and maternal caregiving is impacted by maternal mental health (Forcada-Guex, Borghini, Pierrehumbert, Ansermet, & Muller-Nix, 2011;Horwitz, Briggs-Gowan, Storfer-Isser, & Carter, 2009;Wan & Green, 2009). Similar to parents of premature infants (Jubinville, Newburn-Cook, Hegadoren, & Lacaze-Masmonteil, 2012;Petteys & Adoumie, 2018;Roque, Lasiuk, Radunz, & Hegadoren, 2017), parents of infants with CCHD are at high risk for depression, anxiety, trauma, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Hearps et al, 2014;Jackson, Frydenberg, Liang, Higgins, & Murphy, 2015;Lisanti, Allen, Kelly, & Medoff-Cooper, 2017;Woolf-King, Anger, Arnold, Weiss, & Teitel, 2017). Importantly, evidence shows that parents of infants with CCHD experience more distress than parents of infants with other chronic health conditions (Goldberg, Morris, Simmons, Fowler, & Levison, 1990;Lawoko, 2007).…”

Improving neurodevelopment in infants with complex congenital heart disease

Worldwide, more than 400,000 infants are born each year with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) requiring surgical intervention within the first months of life. Although improvements in perioperative care have resulted in increased rates of survival, more than half of infants with CCHD have neurodevelopmental impairments affecting subsequent educational achievements, job opportunities, and mental health. Brain maturity and impaired outcomes in infants with CCHD are similar to those of prematurely born infants. Developmentally supportive care, including foundational application of kangaroo care (KC), improves neurodevelopment in premature infants. Provision of developmentally supportive care with KC during the early hospitalization of infants with CCHD has the potential to similarly improve neurodevelopment. The purposes of the article are to describe common congenital heart defects, describe developmentally supportive care with an emphasis on KC, and to offer specific recommendations for KC and research in infants with CCHD.

“…Preterm birth and caring for a preterm infant may be distressing for parents, who often feel vulnerable and incompetent in the high-tech NICU environment 23–25. Parents may present with difficulties in understanding and capturing subtle cues from their infant 26.…”

Joint observation in NICU (JOIN): study protocol of a clinical randomised controlled trial examining an early intervention during preterm care

et al. 2019

IntroductionPreterm birth may generate significant distress among the parents, who often present with difficulties in appropriating their parental role. Parental stress and low perceived parental self-efficacy may interfere with the infant’s socioemotional and cognitive development, particularly through disrupted parent–infant interactions. Perceived parental self-efficacy represents the belief of efficacy in caring for one’s own infant and successful incarnation of the parental role, as well as the perception of one’s own abilities to complete a specified task. Interventions to support parental role, as well as infant development, are needed, and parental self-efficacy represents a useful indicator to measure the effects of such early interventions.Methods and analysisThis study protocol describes a randomised controlled trial that will test an early intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) (JOIN: Joint Observation In Neonatology) carried out by an interdisciplinary staff team. Mothers of preterm neonates born between 28 and 32 6/7 weeks of gestational age are eligible for the study. The intervention consists of a videotaped observation by a clinical child psychologist or child psychiatrist and a study nurse of a period of care delivered to the neonate by the mother and a NICU nurse. The care procedure is followed by an interactive video guidance intended to demonstrate the neonate’s abilities and resources to his parents. The primary outcome will be the difference in the perceived maternal self-efficacy between the intervention and control groups assessed by self-report questionnaires. Secondary outcomes will be maternal mental health, the perception of the parent– infant relationship, maternal responsiveness and the neurodevelopment of the infant at 6 months corrected age.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was granted by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Canton de Vaud (study number 496/12). Results from this study will be disseminated at national and international conferences, and in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT02736136, Pre-results.
