[Conditions of low birth weight newborn infants at home after prolonged neonatal hospitalization; prospective study of 50 cases].
The hospitalisation of low birth weight neonates has an effect on the parent-child relationship. A prospective study on the effects of returning home and on home conditions was conducted in the neonatal unit over a 6-month period. Fifty infants were included in the study. The results showed that difficulties in the parent-child relationship took place after the infant returned home in 11 cases (22%). Examination of the possible role of factors prior to or during the hospital stay indicated the significance of the following: premature delivery, disturbances during the childhood one of the parent's, and the infant's stay in neonatal intensive care unit.
