背景:新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)护士在提供婴儿护理方面发挥着至关重要的作用,以及弥合与父母的沟通差距。
目的:探索父亲在早产儿入住NICU期间与护士的认知和互动。
方法:使用人种学数据收集技术的定性研究。
方法:在意大利III级NICU中对20名早产儿父亲进行了有目的地采样。数据收集包括120小时的参与者观察,68次非正式对话,和20个半结构化面试。使用反身性主题分析进行数据分析。
结果:分析揭示了五个主要主题:(i)关于婴儿健康状况和进步的沟通和清晰度,(ii)护士的包容性和指导,(iii)父亲“对护士的满意度”对母亲的支持,(iv)护士对婴儿的个人关注,和(五)护士不同的个性。
结论:护士对于促进NICU中的父子关系至关重要。尽管护士沟通的内容对父亲来说至关重要,分娩方式在婴儿住院期间变得尤为重要。信息和指导的差异会对父亲的信心以及他们照顾早产儿和支持伴侣的能力产生负面影响。因此,强调承认父亲表现出痛苦的独特方式的培训至关重要。
结论:护士在塑造NICU父亲的经历方面发挥着关键作用。强调清晰的沟通和个性化的护理至关重要。为了在NICU环境中加强父亲的支持,建议的方法包括定期培训,整体护理,培养包容性,情感支持,并改善联系机会。

BACKGROUND: Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses play a crucial role in providing infant care, as well as in bridging the communication gap with parents.
OBJECTIVE: Explore fathers\' perceptions and interactions with nurses during their preterm infants\' stay in a NICU.
METHODS: Qualitative study using ethnographic data collection techniques.
METHODS: Twenty fathers of preterm infants were purposively sampled in a level III NICU in Italy. Data collection comprised 120 h of participant observation, 68 informal conversations, and 20 semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed using reflexive thematic analysis.
RESULTS: Analysis revealed five primary themes: (i) communication and clarity about infants\' health condition and progress, (ii) inclusiveness and guidance from nurses, (iii) fathers\' satisfaction with nurses\' support for mother, (iv) nurses\' personal attention to the babies, and (v) nurses\' varied personalities.
CONCLUSIONS: Nurses are crucial in facilitating
father-infant bonding in the NICU. Although the content of nurse communication is critical for fathers, the delivery style becomes especially relevant during their infant\'s hospitalization. Discrepancies in messages and guidance can negatively impact fatherly confidence and their ability to care for their preterm infants and support partners. Thus, training that emphasizes the recognition of the unique ways that fathers exhibit distress is crucial.
CONCLUSIONS: Nurses play a critical role in shaping the fathers\' experiences in NICU. Emphasizing clear communication and individualized care is vital. To strengthen
father support in NICU settings, recommended approaches include regular training, holistic care, fostering inclusivity, emotional support, and improving bonding opportunities.
