Abstract
Aims. 1) Identify the relationship between the degree of stress and satisfaction, and 2) analyse what aspects influence the overall perception of stress in parents with children admitted to a NICU.Method. Cross-sectional descriptive study of a sample of 24 mothers / fathers. A socio-biodemographic questionnaire prepared "ad hoc", parental stress scale Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) and questionnaire about the quality of hospital care (SERVQHOS) were used.
Results. Statistically significant differences between some socio-biodemographic variables and the dimensions of the PSS:NICU scale and the SERVQHOS questionnaire were observed. The variables that best predict the overall stress were the dimensions appearance and behaviour of the new-born (AC) and the role of the mother (PM) (R2 = 0.357, F (2,21) = 5.822; p = 0.010).
Conclusions. Promote proper communication between professionals and fathers / mothers with children admitted to a NICU, increases in them satisfaction; however, this does not cause a decrease in overall stress. The variables that most influence on the overall stress levels are alterations in the appearance / behaviour of the baby and the role of the mother.
