          Abstract

          Resumen Fundamento: Ser padres primerizos cuesta, más aún cuando el bebé nace inmaduro y con prematuridad extrema. Las necesidades de apoyo psicológico se hacen evidentes. Objetivo: conocer la experiencia que supone tener un hijo prematuro en tiempos de pandemia por Covid-19. Metodología: Se utilizó el relato biográfico. Se siguió la metodología analística de datos de Amezcua y Hueso tras realizar dos encuestas a los padres. Se identificaron seis temas destacables: antecedentes, la llegada del bebé, sentimientos, experiencias y percepciones, influencia de la pandemia Covid-19, vivencias como enfermera y apoyo psicológico recibido. Conclusión principal: la enfermera tiene un papel esencial en la atención de las emociones de los familiares por su continua permanencia con el paciente. No obstante, el seguimiento emocional de familiares por especialistas es de especial interés, permitiendo canalizar las emociones en momentos de extrema dureza.

Objective: The first goal was to know what it means to have a premature baby in times of Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: The biographical account was used. The data analysis methodology of Amezcua and Hueso was followed after conducting two survey to the parents. Six major themes were identified: background; baby's arrival; feelings, experiences, perceptions; influence of Covid-19 pandemic; experiences as a nurse and psychological support received. Conclusions: Nursing plays an essential role in addressing the emotions of family members due to their continuous stay with the patient. However, the emotional follow-up of family members by specialists is of particular interest, allowing them to channel emotions in times of extreme hardships.

          Psychosocial support for parents of extremely preterm infants in neonatal intensive care: a qualitative interview study

          Background Extremely premature infants (those born before 28 weeks’ gestational age) are highly immature, requiring months of care at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). For parents, their child’s grave medical condition and prolonged hospitalization are stressful and psychologically disruptive. This study aimed at exploring the needs of psychosocial support of parents of extremely premature infants, and how the NICU as an organization and its staff meets or fails to meet these needs. Method Sixteen open-ended interviews were conducted with 27 parents after their infant’s discharge from the NICU. Inductive content analysis was performed. Results Four themes were identified: Emotional support (with subthemes Empathic treatment by staff, Other parents as a unique source of support, Unclear roles of the various professions); Feeling able to trust the health care provider; Support in balancing time spent with the infant and other responsibilities; Privacy. Parents of extremely premature infants needed various forms of emotional support at the NICU, including support from staff, professional psychological help and/or companionship with other patients’ parents. Parents were highly variable in their desire to discuss their emotional state with staff. The respective roles of nursing staff, social workers and psychologists in supporting parents emotionally and identifying particularly vulnerable parents appeared unclear. Parents also needed to be able to maintain a solid sense of trust in the NICU and its staff. Poor communication with and among staff, partly due to staff discontinuity, damaged trust. Parents struggled with perceived pressure from staff to be at the hospital more than they could manage and with the limited privacy of the NICU. Conclusions The complex and individual psychosocial needs of parents of extremely preterm infants present many challenges for the NICU and its staff. Increasing staffing and improving nurses’ competence in addressing psychosocial aspects of neonatal care would help both nurses and families. Clarifying the roles of different professions in supporting parents and developing their teamwork would lessen the burden on nurses. Communicating with parents about their needs and informing them early in their NICU stay about available support would be essential in helping them cope with their infant’s hospitalization.
