Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine how parents perceive the care performed by nursing staff of the Neonatal Unit of a teaching hospital in Londrina. Inclusion criteria of subjects were: the father of a newborn with length of stay exceeding 15 days and with gestational age less than 32 weeks or birth weight below 1500g. 35 parents participated in the study and responded to the questionnaire proposed. Regarding the communication support, they expressed satisfaction with the information received, but demanded to be heard and to be included in decisions about their child. Regarding the instrumental support, they felt supported in the appropriation of the role of parents and considered as good the care given to the babies. The results of this study cannot be extended to the entire target population, but indicate the need for systematic application of the instrument for the evaluation of nursing care.
