客观的。本研究调查了新生儿重症监护病房 (NICU) 中父母所经历的压力、导致不同压力反应的婴儿和父母特征，以及可预测压力的特征。方法。新生儿重症监护病房父母压力量表用于测量 162 名父母的压力。父母/婴儿人口统计表提供了信息，用于确定哪些特征导致不同的反应以及哪些变量是压力预测因子。结果。承受的最高压力来自婴儿与父母角色领域的关系，以及婴儿的外表和行为。婴儿的胎龄特征导致婴儿的外观和行为得分显着不同。压力的一致预测因素是住院时间、极度早产和心血管诊断。结论。识别父母经历的压力源可以帮助新生儿重症监护室治疗师制定干预计划。应强调以家庭为中心的护理，解决有关他们的角色和他们对婴儿的理解的压力源。
OBJECTIVE. This study investigated the stress experienced by parents in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the infant and parent characteristics that resulted in different stress responses, and the characteristics that were predictive of stress.METHOD. The Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was used to measure the stress of 162 parents. A Parent/Infant Demographic sheet provided information for determining which characteristics resulted in different responses and which variables were stress predictors.RESULTS. The highest levels of stress experienced were in the relationship with baby-parental role area, and regarding how the baby looked and behaved. The infant characteristic of gestational age resulted in significantly different scores concerning the baby's appearance and behavior. Consistent predictors of stress were length of stay, extreme prematurity, and a cardiovascular diagnosis.CONCLUSION. Identifying the stressors parents experience can assist NICU therapists in intervention planning. Family-centered care that addresses stressors concerning their roles and their understanding of their infant should be emphasized.
