Family-centred care as a mediator in the relationship between parental nurse support and parental stress in neonatal intensive care units.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Within the NICU, there is a delicate equilibrium between providing assistance to parents by nurses and prioritising family-centred care (FCC). The FCC assumes the role of a mediator, effectively conveying compassion. The intricate dynamics between FCC, parental nurse support, and parental stress in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) necessitate comprehensive investigation.

Objective

This study examines the mediating effect of FCC on the relationship between parental nurse support and parental stress in NICUs.

Methods

This cross-sectional observational study used convenience sampling to select 223 parents (202 mothers) from Mansoura City hospitals in Egypt. Data were collected using the Nurse Parent Support Tool (NPST), Family-Centered Care Self-Assessmen
