In this prospective, critical ethnographic study using a total of 448 hours of participant observations incorporating in-depth interviews, the author explored with 12 mothers of premature babies their descriptions and interpretations of their own needs in a tertiary-level newborn nursery (NICU) and their actions to address these needs. In the NICU the mothers demonstrated a repertoire of actions to vigilantly "watch over" their premature babies, which they extended to address their own needs as well. The mothers employed these actions in such a way as to minimize the potential for diverting resources from their babies and to minimize conflict with caregivers.
在这项前瞻性的批判性人种志研究中，作者通过总计448小时的参与观察并结合深度访谈，与12位早产婴儿的母亲探讨了她们在三级新生儿重症监护室（NICU）对自身需求的描述和理解，以及她们为满足这些需求所采取的行动。在新生儿重症监护室里，母亲们展示了一系列行动，以时刻警惕地“照看”她们的早产婴儿，这些行动也延伸到满足她们自己的需求上。母亲们采取这些行动的方式是尽量减少从婴儿那里转移资源的可能性，并尽量减少与护理人员的冲突。
