Detailed description

Most of the current management mode of restricting or forbidding visiting in neonatology, parents can not establish the perception of premature infants and lack of communication with medical staff, which will lead to negative emotions represented by uncertainty of disease.The research on uncertainty of disease started late in China, mostly used in tumor, epilepsy and congenital heart disease. The research on parents of NICU children mostly focused on the analysis of influencing factors of uncertainty of disease, lacking intervention research, and the measures were only the information support mode based on health education. We want to explore the intervention effect of family participatory nursing on the uncertainty of illness of parents of hospitalized premature infants, and to evaluate the uncertainty level of parents of premature infants in different stages. Describe the feeling of parents of premature infants after family participation nursing through interview. We will provide support for families of premature infants, and then to provide support for growth and development of premature infants.
