FCC Practices: benefits for both nursing team and
family indicate the well-being of child and mother
care
Nursing assistance to the hospitalized newborn and its
family presents peculiar characteristics towards the presence of
parents in the units. Nurses recognize the importance of family
during hospitalization of the children and believe the interaction
is not gained solely in benefit of the family and the child, but
also for the team.
Inserting this mother into this care at the earliest possible
moment I believe is a benefit for the team as well as for
the mother and the patient (ENF5).
International study demonstrated that when the family
contributes to the caring of its children, they feel rewarded,
less stressed and valorized, improving even the relation
between them and the health team13. The interviewees also
talk of the care for the family as implicating in the well-being
of child and family, favoring bonds and softening the damage
of hospitalization.
