NICU护士和发育专家有一个独特的机会，在NICU环境下促进有意义的父母/婴儿关系的开始。布拉斯尔顿新生儿行为评估量表(BNBAS)是可用于支持这一进程的工具之一。当父母观察到这一评估时，他们学会了识别和理解婴儿的暗示，并在日常生活中获得了信心，比如换尿布、喂奶、一般护理，甚至带着孩子去杂货店的第一次旅行。当父母不仅发现了孩子惊人的能力，也发现了他们自己的能力，他们就会变得有力量。此外，BNBAS提供了一个框架，父母可以通过这个框架有效地沟通和倡导他们的婴儿。
NICU nurses and developmental specialists have a unique opportunity to facilitate the beginning of a meaningful parent/infant relationship in the NICU setting. The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (BNBAS) is one tool that can be utilized to support this process. When parents observe this assessment, they learn to recognize and understand infant cues and gain confidence for everyday routines such as diapering, feeding, general caregiving, and even taking that first trip with the baby to the grocery store. Parents become empowered when they discover not only their baby's amazing competencies, but also their own. In addition, the BNBAS provides a framework through which parents can effectively communicate and advocate for their baby.
