Over the past century, improvements in technology and neonatal care techniques have dramatically reduced infant mortality rates. While this progress continues, a growing body of literature supports the significant role that parents play in the development of infants, particularly within the hospital setting. Throughout much of the twentieth century, various barriers prevented many parents from participating in thc care of their neonates, negatively influencing infant outcomes. Today parental involvement in neonatal carc has become a key part of a larger family-centered care model. This historical review describes how past neonatal care practices affected the roles of parents, from absence or indirect involvemcnt to the important involved roles of today. Understanding current trends in relation to these past experiences may encourage the formulation of family-centered care practices now and in the friture.
在过去的一个世纪里,技术和新生儿护理技术的进步显著降低了婴儿死亡率。虽然这一进展仍在持续,但越来越多的文献支持父母在婴儿发育中所起的重要作用,尤其是在医院环境中。在二十世纪的大部分时间里,各种障碍阻碍了许多父母参与新生儿护理,对婴儿的结局产生了负面影响。如今,父母参与新生儿护理已成为以家庭为中心的更大护理模式的关键部分。这一历史回顾描述了过去的新生儿护理实践如何影响父母的角色,从缺席或间接参与到如今重要的参与角色。了解与这些过去经历相关的当前趋势,可能会鼓励现在和未来制定以家庭为中心的护理实践。
