Parents whose babies are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) need support. Whether their baby's stay is brief or long, uncomplicated or complex, a NICU stay changes how they care for their infant and how they will parent once they are discharged. While we know a NICU stay is traumatic for most parents, the consequences of a family's time spent in the NICU do not need to be negative ones. Supportive NICU teams can use the time a family is in the NICU to engage in a well-designed discharge preparation and transition planning program. These programs can have a lasting positive impact on both the infant's health and the family's wellbeing.
婴儿住进新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)的父母需要支持。无论婴儿的住院时间是短暂还是漫长,是简单还是复杂,NICU 的住院经历都会改变他们照顾婴儿的方式,以及他们出院后如何为人父母。虽然我们知道 NICU 的住院经历对大多数父母来说都是创伤性的,但 NICU 住院经历的后果不一定是负面的。支持性的 NICU 团队可以利用家庭在 NICU 中的时间,参与精心设计的出院准备和过渡计划。这些计划可以对婴儿的健康和家庭的幸福产生持久的积极影响。
