  • Title: Scottish neonatal intensive care units; a study of staff and parental attitudes.
    Author: Reid M, Lloyd D, Campbell G, Murray K, Porter M.
    Journal: Health Bull (Edinb); 1995 Sep; 53(5):314-25. PubMed ID: 7490204.
    Abstract:
    The study takes a three stage approach to review Scottish unit policies, staff views and parents experiences of visiting and involvement with their low birthweight infant (1,750 gm or less) in a sample of Scottish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The study indicated that while most units had 'liberal' views regarding parental and family visiting some staff views were not in line with their unit policy and retained reservations about family visiting. Many parents reported visiting daily despite considerable 'social' and real costs. Unit differences emerged regarding the degree of parental involvement as measured by tasks carried out.
