Brief Summary:
An early parent-child relationship is important for a child's development, both intellectually and socially. The admission of premature or ill newborns to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may make the establishment of the parent-child relationship challenging due to parents' anxiety and despair.
Traditionally, most healthcare professionals have mainly focused on infants and mothers, even though fathers often feel stressed, powerless, and helpless, and find it difficult to establish a father-child relationship. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a father-friendly NICU on infants, parents and staff.
