Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: While in adult medicine, consideration of the patient's entourage is often a choice, it is essential in neonatology since parents are not only our main interlocutors but also often our mediators and obviously an irreplaceable support for our young babies. The objective of our study was to collect the opinions of caregivers in the family's involvement in the different care of their newborns. Materials and Patients: This is a qualitative prospective observational study that spanned three months between December 2016 to February 2017 which took place at the Rabat Children's Hospital in the Department of Medicine and neonatal resuscitation including nursing staff. Results: Of the 111 questionnaires distributed, 109 were returned (98%). The median age of caregivers was 26.5 [24-42] years. The female sex was represented in 79.82% of the cases. Residents and pediatricians accounted for 44.95% of the workforce and nurses 31.20%. The median years of nursing practice was 1.5 [1-15] years. Out of a total of 10 treatments, the median number of treatments for which caregivers were favorable was 4 [5-6]. Conclusion: Caregivers in all categories are generally very supportive of family involvement in patient care, but under conditions. They even feel almost unanimously that the participation of families in care is essential for patients such as newborns.
