Study Summary
The proposed research has potential to dramatically improve care for emotionally distressed mothers of newborns hospitalized on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Clinical NICU nurses are well-positioned to provide emotional support in the form of Listening Visits. Specifically, these nurses are easily accessible to NICU mothers, are often the most trusted professional on the healthcare team, they are knowledgeable about the newborn's medical conditions, and, finally they are already skilled in the art of warm communication. This intervention should not only improve depressive outcomes in emotionally distressed NICU mothers but also indirectly impact maternal perception of nurse support which is in turn related to depression symptoms and patient satisfaction, as well as infant length of stay by accelerating maternal readiness for infant discharge.
