Sistem perawatan bayi di NICU memberikan dampak negatif bagi bayi dan orang tua. Upaya yang dapat dikembangkan untuk meminimalkan dampak tersebut yaitu dengan mengaplikasikan family centered care (FCC). Langkah pertama upaya tersebut adalah mengidentifikasi kebutuhan orang tua. Dalam penelitian sebelumnya, kebutuhan orang tua sangat bervariasi. Penelitian bertujuan mengidentifikasi kebutuhan FCC dalam perawatan bayi sakit kritis di NICU. Metode penelitian menggunakan mixed method dengan strategi eksplanatoris sekuensial. Penelitian kuantitatif dilakukan terhadap 45 responden dan menggunakan kuesioner NICU Family Need Inventory. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mean. Penelitian kualitatif dilakukan terhadap 7 partisipan dengan menggunakan pedoman wawancara. Analisis data menerapkan teknik content analysis. Penelitian dilaksanakan di NICU Rumah Sakit Pemerintah Wilayah Bandung Raya. Orang tua memiliki urutan prioritas kebutuhan terhadap kepastian (M = 3,90), informasi (M = 3,82), kedekatan (M = 3,76), dukungan (M = 3,49), dan kenyamanan (M = 3,37). Pada penelitian kualitatif didapatkan, orang tua lebih membutuhkan kepastian terkait jaminan bayinya mendapatkan perawatan terbaik; kebutuhan terhadap informasi jujur, jelas, dan rutin mengenai kondisi, perkembangan, dan tindakan yang dilakukan terhadap bayi; dan kebutuhan terhadap kedekatan untuk selalu dekat dan melakukan kontak dengan bayi. Kebutuhan orang tua lebih berfokus pada kesejahteraan bayi. Dalam melakukan asuhan keperawatan, selain meningkatkan pelayanan terhadap bayi, perawat harus memerhatikan kebutuhan orang tua terkait jaminan kepastian bayinya mendapatkan perawatan terbaik, penyampaian informasi dengan komunikasi terbuka, dan menjalin kontak dengan bayi. Dengan mengidentifikasi kebutuhan orang tua, dapat menuntun perawat mengintegrasikan kebutuhan orang tua kedalam FCC sehingga orang tua dapat memenuhi kebutuhannya, mendapatkan kepuasan, dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup bayi.Kata kunci: Bayi sakit kritis, kebutuhan orang tua, perawatan berpusat pada keluarga.
