Some hospital practices that are routine for hospital staff may carry unintended significance for patients and their families. The transfer of neonatal infants between hospitals and hospital environments is one such practice that may be covered by perfectly acceptable rules and regulations but that, at times, gives rise to unsuspected anxieties, pain, and worries in the parent. In this phenomenological study, I explored meaning aspects of the phenomenon transfer to reveal a lived experience of carrying--a carrying across from here to there; a carrying between changing places; a carrying contact of parent-child in-touchness that is enabled or compromised in this experience; a carrying with care; and a carrying as a search for place as home. The concluding recommendations speak to the need for understanding the experiences of hospitalized babies' parents, and speak to the tactful sensitivities required of the health care team during the transfer of child and family.
一些对医院员工来说是常规的医院做法，可能对患者及其家属有着意想不到的意义。新生儿在医院之间和医院环境中的转移就是这样一种做法，它可能符合完全可以接受的规则和条例，但有时会给父母带来意想不到的焦虑、痛苦和担忧。在这项现象学研究中，我探讨了这一现象转移的意义方面，以揭示一种承载的生活体验——从这里到那里的承载；在不断变化的地方之间的承载；在这种体验中使父母-孩子的接触成为可能或受到影响的承载联系；小心翼翼的承载；以及作为寻找家的地方的承载。最后的建议涉及到理解住院婴儿父母的体验的必要性，并涉及到在转移孩子和家庭过程中医护团队需要的机智敏感性。
