Abstract

The purpose of this research was to explore parental perspectives on the impact of parent restrictions imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic across Canadian Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). A co-designed online survey was conducted targeting parents (n = 235) of infants admitted to a Canadian NICU from March 1, 2020, until March 5, 2021. Parents completed the survey from 38 Canadian NICUs. Large variation in the severity of policies regarding parental presence was reported. Most respondents (68.9%) were classified as experiencing high restrictions, with one or no support people allowed in the NICU, and felt that policies were less easy to understand, felt less valued and respected, and found it more challenging to access medicine or health care. Parents reported gaps in care related to self-care, accessibility, and mental health outcomes. There is significant variation in parental restrictions implemented across Canadian NICUs. National guidelines are needed to support consistent and equitable care practices.

COVID-19期间父母在场限制对加拿大新生儿重症监护病房父母的影响:一项全国性调查。

本研究的目的是探讨父母对加拿大新生儿重症监护病房(NICUs)为应对COVID-19大流行而实施的父母限制的影响的观点。一项共同设计的在线调查针对2020年3月1日至2021年3月5日入住加拿大NICU的婴儿的父母(n = 235)进行。父母们完成了来自38个加拿大新生儿重症监护病房的调查。据报道，有关父母在场的政策的严厉程度差别很大。大多数受访者(68.9%)被归类为经历高度限制，在新生儿重症监护室允许一个或没有支持人员，并认为政策不太容易理解，感觉不那么受重视和尊重，并且发现获得药物或卫生保健更具挑战性。父母报告了与自我护理、可及性和心理健康结果相关的护理差距。加拿大新生儿重症监护病房实施的父母限制有很大差异。需要国家指南来支持一致和公平的护理做法。
