Understanding the experiences of mothers with preterm babies admitted in a public hospital

Other Titles

NICU family presence

Abstract

Preterm delivery is a stressful and life threatening situation to both mothers and pre-term babies. This stress renders mothers unable to carry out their expectations such as caring for their preterm babies. Caring for the well-being of mother is essential for future development of the pre-term baby.
