The paper describes a group-oriented mental health consultation program which was established for the staff of a pediatric special care nursery. The initial phase of consultation was designed 1) to deal with work stresses in providing acute medical care for premature infants who are at high risk for later emotional and developmental disturbances; and 2) to facilitate intrastaff communication in an atmosphere of strenuous physical demands from patients, and moral dilemmas raised by infants' life-threatening conditions. Also discussed are problems experienced by staff in providing psychological support to families of hospitalized infants. The author reviews implications for crisis intervention to help mitigate families' mental stress and to facilitate the emotional attachment to their infants.
本文描述了一个为儿科特殊护理病房工作人员设立的面向群体的心理健康咨询项目。咨询的初始阶段旨在:1)应对为早产高危儿提供急性医疗护理时的工作压力,这些早产高危儿日后出现情绪和发育障碍的风险较高;2)在患者对体力要求很高以及婴儿生命垂危状况引发道德困境的氛围中,促进工作人员内部的沟通。文中还讨论了工作人员在为住院婴儿家庭提供心理支持时遇到的问题。作者回顾了危机干预的意义,以帮助减轻家庭的精神压力,并促进他们与婴儿之间的情感依恋。
