Parents of infants transferred to a regional NICU have unique needs for support when the mother remains in the hospital of birth. Suddenly in a high risk situation and faced with family separation, these parents may display intense grief and crisis reactions related to their infant's status and transfer. The high risk interventions they require are frequently incongruent with the wellness orientation of staff specializing in care of the low risk clients. Nevertheless, low risk specialists have a critical role in assisting parents through this difficult transition to parenthood. Effective strategies are based upon: understanding that at some point infants requiring transfer to a regional NICU will be born; advance planning to prepare staff to assist parents during this type of crisis; establishing an ongoing relationship with staff from the regional NICU; and identification of crisis support networks available to parents and to staff within the low risk setting.
当母亲仍留在分娩医院时，被转至地区新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）的婴儿的父母有着独特的支持需求。突然处于高风险情境且面临家庭分离，这些父母可能会因婴儿的状况和转院而表现出强烈的悲伤和危机反应。他们所需的高风险干预措施往往与专注于低风险客户护理的工作人员的健康导向不一致。然而，低风险专家在协助父母度过这一艰难的为人父母过渡阶段中起着关键作用。有效的策略基于：认识到在某个时候需要转至地区NICU的婴儿将会出生；提前规划以使工作人员做好准备，在这类危机中协助父母；与地区NICU的工作人员建立持续的关系；以及确定在低风险环境中可供父母和工作人员使用的危机支持网络。
