A NICU stay can range from days to months, making it hard for parents to visit their newborn every day, which can be stressful.
Having a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, can be an emotional rollercoaster for new parents.
“The NICU is a very challenging environment. Parents are stressed out,” explained Dr. Anirudha Das, Cleveland Clinic Children’s neonatologist and study author. “Many parents have mental distress, as we call it, and it’s challenging for them to come in all the time, so the hypothesis was that they may be using the webcam.”
Results show parents logged in more on days they couldn’t visit. They also found that families who lived more than 15 miles away had more logins. Overall, findings suggest having a virtual connection with their baby helped parents, especially those experiencing stress.
