OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feelings and expectations of mothers of preterm babies at discharge. METHODS: This descriptive study used Bardin's framework to collect data among 11 mothers of preterm babies from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Data were collected through interviews from December 2004 to January 2005. RESULTS: Four categories emerged: the moment of the discharge; mothers' knowledge and questions; mothers' preparation and orientation for discharge; and, mothers' desired orientation. CONCLUSION: Although mothers' experienced excitement and happiness at discharge, many reported being anxious and insecure on how to take care of their preterm babies.

Resumo: A judicialização das políticas públicas de saúde é um fenômeno crescente em todo o País, tendo diversos âmbitos do Poder Judiciário recebido demandas relacionadas à saúde, no entanto, percebe-se que essa discussão tem reflexos nos três Poderes. O presente artigo teve por escopo compreender o sistema normativo que regulamenta o acesso a leitos de Unidades de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal (UTINs), bem como analisar a eficácia das decisões judiciais no Maranhão, com foco nas decisões de magistrados da 1ª Vara da Infância e Juventude da comarca de São Luís, MA. Realizou-se um estudo descritivo e exploratório, com levantamento bibliográfico e documental, notadamente, em documentos disponibilizados nos sites do Poder Judiciário maranhense, do Ministério da Saúde, Secretaria de Saúde do Estado do Maranhão e do Município de São Luís. Ao fim, foram feitas algumas considerações sobre a problemática da judicialização da saúde como fenômeno que expõe as fragilidades e as descontinuidades das ações desenvolvidas pelas casas legislativas, pela gestão pública e pelo próprio sistema de justiça.Palavras-chave: Direito à saúde. Unidade de tratamento intensivo. Poder Judiciário. Abstract: The legalization of public health policies is a growing phenomenon throughout the country, having many areas of the Judiciary received demands related to health, however, it is clear that this discussion is reflected in the three Branches. This article had the scope to understand the legal system that regulates access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit beds (NICUs) and to analyze the effectiveness of judgments in Maranhão, focusing on judges decisions of the 1st Court of Childhood and Youth of the district of São Luís, MA. We conducted a descriptive study, with bibliographic and documental survey, notably in documents available on the websites of the judiciary of Maranhão, the Ministry of Health, Health Secretariat of the State of Maranhão, and the City of São Luís.

The Moment

Having a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a heart-wrenching, anxiety-inducing, and challenging experience. No family wants to have a less-than-perfect baby at birth, and yet every day, babies are born prematurely or with other health complications who need additional intensive care. When this happens, parents find themselves visiting their newborns in the NICU instead of taking them home to the nursery room that they so lovingly decorated and prepared for their baby. Amanda shares her personal journey – from the moment she was rushed to the hospital, to the emptiness she felt when her baby was whisked away after being born, to the unpredictability of having a son with special healthcare needs. But through it all she has learned that she is stronger and more brave than she ever thought possible. And so is her son.
