Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Parents of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients become parents in a stressful, unexpected environment. These parents are at risk of impaired bonding with their infants and may experience worse mental health outcomes compared with parents of infants born healthy. A better understanding of how parents develop their identity as a parent in the NICU may facilitate improved parent support.
METHODS: This qualitative study analyzed semistructured interviews with parents of NICU patients to explore parental identity development in the NICU. We applied phenomenological and narrative analytic frameworks.
RESULTS: We interviewed 25 parents of 20 NICU patients. Parents described challenges inherent in becoming a parent in the NICU and ways to overcome them. Five themes emerged around how parental identity develops, including the following: (1) through performing activities, (2) by shifting expectations, (3) at transition points, (4) over time, and (5) through feeling recognized. Parents identified a difference between bonding and feeling like a parent.
CONCLUSIONS: For parents of patients in the NICU, developing their personal sense of identity as a parent is a complex process, separate from parent-infant bonding. Improved knowledge of and support for parental identity development in the NICU may improve both patient and parent outcomes.
