Mothers' Remembrances of Newborn Intensive Care: A Predictive Study

Six months after discharge, 94 mothers described their memories of their infant's hospitalization on an NICU. Mothers of sicker infants, those who had claimed difficulties with NICU staff, and those who felt less attached to their infant more often described painful reminders of this crisis. Pleasurable reminders were reported more often by mothers who had perceived greater personal control over their infant's recovery and had construed a purpose in this crisis. Mothers described several benefits of their memories and were more likely to do so when they had perceived a purpose in their misfortune.

Key words: prematurity; intensive care; family adaptation.
