Description
Introduction. The hospitalization of a premature newborn in a neonatal intensive care unit is generally an unexpected and stressful event for a family; the expectation of having a healthy child is interrupted by separation and loss of bond. Although modern units declare within their humanization policy to offer open-door services 24 hours a day, the real experience of a stay away from home in a clinical setting generates uncertainty, fear and ignorance in families. Taking into account the above, the on-site clinical simulation strategy called “School for parents of premature neonates” hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Cardiovascular Institute of the International Hospital of Colombia was designed, whose scope is to strengthen parents' attitudes, knowledge, and skills; initially exploring the prior knowledge, needs and preferences of parents during the hospitalization of their sons or daughters, followed by guidance with the best evidence-based care, integrating the good practice guides of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO). ) for its acronym in English. Aim. Reflect on the experience of the “Parent School for Premature Neonates” and the implementation of the RNAO good clinical practice guidelines, related to the contents and strategies provided to parents who attend the neonatal intensive care unit. Topic for Reflection: Parent education in hospital environments offers an inclusion opportunity to learn to reduce fears of the unknown, to promote families to participate in the care of hospitalized newborns. Conclusions. Parent education in an on-site clinical simulation environment favors the comprehensive care of premature neonates, through the construction of empowering relationships of parents, initially knowing their concerns and preferences, to promote active and meaningful participation in care in home. As well as creating an institutional culture that declares the commitment to neonate- and family-centered care through the adoption of RNAO Good Practice Guides.
