| description | Introduction: This paper reviews practices addressing the perinatal mental health of families hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Achievements in increased survival of high-risk newborns involve prolonged hospitalization and emotional care of their families.
State of the art: the conceptual framework refers to person-centered care and its perinatal expression in the Safe and Family-Centered Maternity Model (SCMF). It includes experiences of local and international referents that guide interventions in the field. Conclusions: the importance of emotional care in highly stressful scenarios is highlighted, given its impact on the care and construction of early bonds between hospitalized newborns (NB) and their primary referents. It mentions psychological risk factors and possible approaches. We propose actions for promotion, prevention, and assistance in this context. |
