The purpose of this study was to identify parents' self-reported stressors as they experience their baby's course in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Miles, Funk & Carlson (1993) Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was used to survey 119 parents of neonatal infants, born at 24 weeks to full term, in the 28-bed level 3 NICU of a mid-Atlantic, Magnet-designated acute care hospital with 665 licensed beds. The newly developed Grosik, Snyder, Cleary and Tidwell NICU External Stressors and Stress Reduction Scale (2006), a 5-point Likert scale, was also used. Intrapersonal and interpersonal stressors were categorized as internal (occurring within the NICU) and extrapersonal (occurring outside the NICU) as external stressors. The findings were used to develop a new practice in the NICU to help reduce parental stressors.
本研究的目的是确定父母在经历新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）中婴儿的病程时自我报告的压力源。使用了迈尔斯、芬克和卡尔森（1993年）的《父母压力源量表：新生儿重症监护病房》对一家位于大西洋中部、拥有665张许可床位的磁体指定急症护理医院的28张床位的三级新生儿重症监护病房中119名孕周为24周至足月的新生儿父母进行调查。还使用了新开发的格罗西克、斯奈德、克利里和蒂德韦尔的新生儿重症监护病房外部压力源及压力减轻量表（2006年），这是一个5点李克特量表。人际和个人压力源被归类为内部压力源（在新生儿重症监护病房内发生）和外部压力源（在新生儿重症监护病房外发生）。研究结果被用于在新生儿重症监护病房制定新的措施，以帮助减轻父母的压力源。
