Research suggests maternal engagement in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may positively impact maternal and infant health outcomes. However, the U.S. has lower rates of maternal engagement in the NICU compared to other developed countries. This qualitative study reflects a transdisciplinary research partnership between social work, nursing, and neonatology. Qualitative inquiry explores maternal experiences in the NICU from the perspectives of mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in 2 U.S. NICUs. Results support an ecological systems framework to understanding barriers and facilitators to maternal engagement in the NICU and the utilization of a trauma-informed health care approach in NICU settings.
研究表明,产妇在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)的参与可能对母婴健康结果产生积极影响。然而,与其他发达国家相比,美国产妇在 NICU 的参与率较低。这项定性研究反映了社会工作、护理和新生儿学之间的跨学科研究合作。定性研究从 2 家美国 NICU 住院早产儿母亲的角度探讨了她们在 NICU 中的体验。研究结果支持了一个生态系统框架,以了解产妇在 NICU 中参与的障碍和促进因素,以及在 NICU 环境中使用创伤知情的医疗保健方法。
