Although the reactions of a family to the premature birth of an infant have been studied increasingly in recent years, the family examined has been limited almost exclusively to the parents. An exploratory survey examined the feelings, perceptions and experiences of 83 grandparents and 50 parents of premature infants. Results indicated that the impact of a premature birth was intensely felt by parents and grandparents. Both groups experienced similar reactions to the initial appearance of the neonate and neonatal intensive care unit environment and to visiting policies. Parents received most of their information about premature infants directly from nurses, doctors, and the parent support group, whereas grandparents had to rely on the newborn's parents.
尽管近年来越来越多地研究了家庭对婴儿早产的反应，但所研究的家庭几乎完全局限于父母。一项探索性调查考察了83名祖父母和50名早产儿父母的感受、认知和经历。结果表明，早产对父母和祖父母都产生了强烈影响。两组在新生儿的初次露面、新生儿重症监护病房环境以及探视政策方面都有类似的反应。父母关于早产儿的大部分信息直接来自护士、医生和家长支持小组，而祖父母则不得不依赖新生儿的父母。
