Abstract
Many aspects may interfere with siblings' adaptation when an infant is born prematurely and hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). During this critical period, siblings may have sudden change of behaviors if their needs are not adequately met. Parents and neonatal nurses are often unaware of the importance of supporting siblings in the NICU. In this narrative review, siblings' needs and interventions to support them in the NICU will be synthesized and discussed. A total of 14 articles were reviewed to better understand siblings' needs and discuss findings related to interventions supporting siblings' adaptation in the NICU. Further studies should be conducted with validated and reliable evaluation tools to validate these findings. Overall, interventions for siblings in the NICU appear to be beneficial for siblings and their parents.
期刊介绍：
Infants & Young Children is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on vulnerable children from birth to five years of age and their families. Of special interest are articles involving innovative interventions, summaries of important research developments and their implications for practice, updates for high priority topic areas, balanced presentations of controversial issues, and articles that address issues involving policy, professional training, new conceptual models, and related matters. Although data are often presented primarily to illustrate points, some types of data-based articles may be appropriate.
