Neonatal Intensive Care: Mothers' and Fathers' Perceptions of What Is Stressful.
Hughes, Mary-Alayne; McCollum, Jeanette
Journal of Early Intervention, v18 n3 p258-68 Sum 1994
This study compared mothers' (n=32) and fathers' (n=25) perceptions of stress during their preterm infant's hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit. Although there were differences between mothers and fathers in number and types of stressors identified, most mothers and fathers chose stressors related to the infant's health and hospitalization as the most stressful.
