Observational analysis decreased parental stress scores in mothers at discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit, indicating benefits of family centered care.
Key Points
Mothers experience significant parental stress at neonatal intensive care unit admission, and stress reduces by discharge.
PSS-NICU scores showed meaningful improvements during the family centered care implementation phases.
Implementation of family centered care resulted in a mean difference in stress scores at discharge, enhancing maternal satisfaction.
Findings highlight the importance of adopting family centered care strategies in neonatal intensive care units for better parental experiences.
