Maternal care in the preterm child’s family context: A comprehensive look towards the sibling - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 12-13-2019;72:50-57
To analyze maternal care for siblings of preterm babies hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Qualitative research using symbolic interactionism as a theoretical reference and narrative research as a methodological reference. Ten mothers were surveyed through semi-structured interviews.
Three thematic units emerged from the analysis of data: “social support in the sharing of child care”; “promotion of adaptation to the arrival of a sibling” and “maternal feelings and coping”.
Care for the premature child’s sibling is developed under mothers’ physical distance from him/her, justified by the need to remain close to the premature child due to risks and fragility related to the condition.
