Resumen
CRESPO-CAMPOS, Andrea. Being first-time parents of a premature baby in times of the Covid-19 pandemic. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.125-128. Epub 21-Nov-2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Being a first-time parent is difficult, even more so when the baby is born immature and with extreme prematurity. The need for psychological support is evident.
Objective:
The first goal was to know what it means to have a premature baby in times of Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods:
The biographical account was used. The data analysis methodology of Amezcua and Hueso was followed after conducting two survey to the parents. Six major themes were identified: background; baby's arrival; feelings, experiences, perceptions; influence of Covid-19 pandemic; experiences as a nurse and psychological support received.
Conclusions:
Nursing plays an essential role in addressing the emotions of family members due to their continuous stay with the patient. However, the emotional follow-up of family members by specialists is of particular interest, allowing them to channel emotions in times of extreme hardships.
