| Resumen:Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of fathers of a premature baby on a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and also to raise awareness amongst healthcare professionals in relation to the needs of fathers whose infants are cared for in the NICU. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was chosen for the study and five fathers participated and were interviewed. Data analysis was based on the work of Van Manen (1990) who devised a six step approach to assist with analysis within phenomenological inquiry. Results: The findings of the study indicate that the experiences of fathers of premature babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit are diverse and complex. Having a premature baby in the NICU instigates a multitude of experiences for fathers. Conclusion: In highlighting the experiences of fathers, this study raises awareness of the need for healthcare professionals to consider the unique perspective of fathers in the context of the NICU. | |
