| Resumo: | Objective Exploring maternal experience with premature newborn children in a
domestic environment. Methods The study was qualitative and used focus group interviews with 24 women
who had had preterm deliveries in a public maternity hospital located in Northeast
Brazil during June and October 2005. The mothers returned to the hospital facility
at least 30 days after the newborn were discharged to share their experiences in
caring for a premature infant at home.
Results Interview data was analysed for content, four thematic nuclei being identified: hospital discharge, preparing the family for discharge, caring for a premature
baby at home and life changes arising from the premature birth. The greatest
difficulties reported by the mothers in caring for their premature children at home
were related to feeding and feelings of insecurity and fear were expressed which
showed the need for a support network for the families following discharge.
Conclusions The mothers' care of premature infants at home represented changes
for parents in everyday family life, work and social life, thus showing the need for a
support network for them during the transition from hospital to home when considering premature children |
