  • Title: The neonatal nurse's role in parental attachment in the NICU.
    Author: Franklin C.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Q; 2006; 29(1):81-5. PubMed ID: 16456366.
    Abstract:
    Parent/infant attachment or bonding is a naturally occurring event that begins during the prenatal period. The feelings of attachment strengthen when fetal movement is felt and grow stronger with parent/infant interaction after birth. Parents who have a newborn requiring intensive care can have a disruption or delay in this attachment process. Neonatal nurses are in a unique position to assess this process and intervene to promote attachment behaviors.
