The purposes of this study were to examine visiting and telephoning patterns of families of very low birth-weight (VLBW) infants during their initial hospitalization and to identify factors related to visiting and telephoning. The sample of 65 VLBW infants (less than or equal to 1,500 gm) and their families was followed for 6 weeks in the special care nurseries. Mothers were the primary visitors, with the typical mother visiting the nursery twice per week. Fathers and other family members made most of their visits in the first few weeks with minimal involvement thereafter. During a typical week the number of telephone calls to the nursery from mothers ranged from one to three. Fathers and other family members made minimal calls. Significantly fewer visits were made by families in which the mother was unmarried, the mother was younger, Medicaid was the type of insurance, annual income was less than $10,000, and private transportation was unavailable. There were no significant relationships between total number of telephone calls made and maternal demographic variables.
本研究的目的是调查极低出生体重（VLBW）婴儿家庭在其首次住院期间的探视和电话联系模式，并确定与探视和电话联系相关的因素。对65名极低出生体重（小于或等于1500克）婴儿及其家庭在特殊护理病房进行了为期6周的跟踪研究。母亲是主要探视者，典型的母亲每周探视病房两次。父亲和其他家庭成员大多在最初几周进行探视，此后参与度极低。在典型的一周内，母亲给病房打电话的次数为1至3次。父亲和其他家庭成员打电话的次数极少。母亲未婚、母亲较年轻、保险类型为医疗补助、年收入低于10000美元且没有私人交通工具的家庭探视次数明显较少。电话总次数与母亲的人口统计学变量之间没有显著关系。
