Nurse supportive acts for mother-preterm infant pairs.
Nurse Supportive Acts were measured during the conduct of a nursing intervention designed to facilitate mother-preterm infant acquaintance in the hospital and at home. The most frequently performed supportive acts included "active listening," "sounding board," "information exchange," and "validation." Use of these communication skills allows the health care provider to give care which is flexible and sensitive for mothers and their preterm infants.
