Topic overview
This cross-sectional study examines stress levels in parents of newborns requiring surgical intervention, finding that 90% experience significant stress, particularly related to altered parental roles. Parents of preterm infants, those with lower education and socioeconomic status face higher stress, highlighting the need for targeted psychosocial support in neonatal surgical care.
Key takeaways
- 90% of parents experience significant stress when their newborn requires surgery, with parental role alteration being the most stressful domain.
- Parents of preterm infants and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds report higher stress levels during neonatal surgical care.
- 27% of parents report extreme stress related to surgical aspects, indicating need for enhanced preoperative counseling and support.
- Higher parental education and socioeconomic status correlate with lower stress scores in families of surgical newborns.
- Targeted psychosocial interventions should focus on parental role support, especially for vulnerable populations with preterm or critically ill infants.
