Terapia Intensiva

RESUMO A hospitalização do bebê na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTI Neo) pode ser acompanhada de momentos de instabilidade, insegurança e rupturas na relação mãe-bebê. A mãe tem um papel importante no desenvolvimento e recuperação do bebê nesta unidade. Desse modo são imprescindíveis a atenção e o cuidado com essas mães. Esta pesquisa identificou a importância e a satisfação das necessidades de mães com bebês internados na UTI Neo de uma maternidade particular. Participaram15 mães, com idade média 28 anos. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados foram: questionário sociodemográfico e o Inventário de Necessidades e Estressores de Familiares em Terapia Intensiva (INEFTI). Os resultados evidenciaram que as mães avaliaram as cinco dimensões segurança, proximidade, informação, conforto e suporte como muito importantes a importantíssimas. No entanto, alguns itens demonstraram insatisfação, principalmente no que se refere ao conforto. Espera-se que esses resultados possam atender as necessidades das mães ao favorecer o diálogo, o cuidado e criar melhores condições de acolhimento e de espaço físico para amenizar o sofrimento advindo desse período de internação do bebê na UTI Neo. ABSTRACT The hospitalization of the baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Neo ICU) may be accompanied by moments of instability, insecurity and ruptures in the mother-baby relationship. The mother plays an important role in the baby's development and recovery in this unit. Thus, attention and care to these mothers are essential. This research identified the importance and satisfaction of the needs of mothers with babies admitted to the Neo ICU of a private maternity hospital. Fifteen mothers, mean age 28 years, participated. The instruments used for data collection were: a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Inventory of Needs and Stressors of Families in Intensive Care (INEFTI). The results showed that the mothers evaluated the five dimensions safety, closeness, information, comfort and support as very important to very important. However, some items showed dissatisfaction, especially regarding comfort. It is expected that these results may meet the mothers' needs by favoring dialogue, care and creating better conditions for welcoming and physical space to ease the suffering resulting from this period of hospitalization of the baby in the Neo ICU.

Purpose Feeding challenges are common for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While sufficient oral feeding is typically a goal during NICU admission, this can be a long and complicated process for both the infant and the family. Many of the stressors related to feeding persist long after hospital discharge, which results in the parents taking the primary role of navigating the infant's course to ensure continued feeding success. This is in addition to dealing with the psychological impact of having a child requiring increased medical attention and the need to continue to fulfill the demands at home. In this clinical focus article, we examine 3 main areas that impact psychosocial stress among parents with infants in the NICU and following discharge: parenting, feeding, and supports. Implications for speech-language pathologists working with these infants and their families are discussed. A case example is also included to describe the treatment course of an infant and her parents in the NICU and after graduation to demonstrate these points further. Conclusion Speech-language pathologists working with infants in the NICU and following hospital discharge must realize the family context and psychosocial considerations that impact feeding progression. Understanding these factors may improve parental engagement to more effectively tailor treatment approaches to meet the needs of the child and family.
