Infants, parents, and families
Parents and families, healthcare professionals, neonatal units, hospitals, and health services
All parents are provided with a training programme to facilitate their development as confident caregivers.
The neonatal unit can be a stressful environment for parents and families. This further isolates parents and can affect bonding and impact future parenting. Families may struggle to cope and parents may not feel like a parent, although they want to become involved. To ensure parents are an integral part of the neonatal team (see Infant- & family-centred developmental care), and to become confident caregivers for their infant both in the neonatal unit and after discharge, parents should be offered education, training, and support in specific skills (see Infant- & family-centred developmental care).
The healthcare team understands the unique medical and psychosocial needs of infants and their families, and is ideally placed to teach parents how best to care for their infant. (1)
