| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to explore and describe the coping experiences of parents to children admitted to a neonatal unit. A qualitative research approach was chosen, using in-depth interviews with eight fathers and eight mothers. The main findings were that parents with previous complicated births had more difficulties in coping compared to those parents with no experience with complications. Coping seemed easier where parents' opinions were heard regarding their baby's care and when both parents were present in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The main similarities between mothers and fathers were the reluctance to speak their opinions on childcare, and both experienced a sense of alienation and problems in bonding with the baby. They also needed a limitation on the number of visitors in the NICU. Differences between mothers and fathers were that fathers tried hard to be the strong partner in the relationship, and were more concerned with the mother if she was seriously ill postpartum, while mothers were more concerned for their baby. Mothers' postpartum period was felt as more stressful if the father was not present, but mothers were also better at welcoming support from the health personnel. This study highlights the parent's coping experiences in NICUs. Coping seemed easier where parents' opinions were heard. Nurses in the NICU should take the former experiences of the parents into consideration when nursing in the NICU and planning for discharge. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2016.
All research outputs
#12,843,990
of 22,880,691 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pediatrics
#1,526
of 3,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#180,105
of 355,956 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pediatrics
#18
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,691 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,012 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 355,956 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
