Prematuridade paternidade: um estudo de revisão sistemática

Abstract

The objective of this study was to map and understand the feelings experienced by the father in cases of the birth of a premature child hospitalized in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). For this, a search and analysis of the articles were carried out including researches in the electronic bases Scielo, Psyclnfo, Pepsic, PubMed, Scopus and in the portals Capes and VHL, in the months of June and July of 2018. Publications including the period from 2008 to 2018 with the use of standard terms and predicted by DECS and Mesh Terms: premature, paternity and neonatal intensive care unit. The articles included in the research were articles published in scientific journals during the last ten years, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Researches that analyzed the father's role in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit NICU were included. It was concluded that nursing professionals have a greater interest in researching on the paternal role in contexts of prematurity. These studies found that the parents (men) reported that they felt feelings of surprise and fear about the birth of the preterm child that these same parents wanted to be included in the care of the hospitalized newborn and finally discovered their true role as father.
