What’s Mom Needs for Their Preemie After NICU Discharge? A Scoping Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Support and education are vital for preemie moms to provide a comprehensive guide and ensure effective implementation of relevant information for premature baby care after NICU discharge. The present study aimed to determine the component of caregiving activities for premature babies. A six-stage methodological framework was used in guiding the review process recommended by Arksey and O’Malley (2005). The EBSCOhost Medical database, which included Medline, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection, and Ovid, grey literature, reference list, and the Google Scholar search engine, was used for the search strategies. A total of 105 studies of English-language articles were tracked from the year 2000–2016. Selecting only full text and peer review resulting in ten studies and eight relevant documents. Nineteen themes were identified related to premature baby care activities. In conclusion, the themes revealed were best described as specific caregiving activities for premature babies valuable for mothers to organise post-discharge care. To engage, mothers should provide appropriate care to their premature babies as NICU babies are more fragile than normal newborn babies.
