Abstract
|
|
|
Although advances in neonatology have reduced the mortality rate of high-risk infants, sick newborns or premature infants undergo more intensive monitoring, painful procedures, and lengthy hospitalization, leading to prolonged separation from their parents. In recent decades, the importance of parent-infant closeness early in life has become more apparent, especially in preterm infants who are prone to neurodevelopmental deficits. There isan increasing body of evidence regarding the benefits of family-centered care (FCC) in neonatal intensive careunits. Key aspects related to neonatal FCC include the parents’ presence in the ward and their participation ininfants’ daily care and decision-making processes.
In addition, an environment that supports a private and comfortable space for each family member and infant, such asa single-family room, should be provided. To successfully implement FCC in neonatal intensive care units, the culture of care and hospital policies should be changed to successfully implement FCC in neonatal intensive care units, and appropriate training for medical staff is also required.
