Topic: Home Sweet Home? Realities and Remedies - [View Abstract]
Topic: “Zooming Ahead”; Post-NICU Discharge Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infant Follow-up Program Goes Virtual - [View Abstract]
1: List common NICU discharge criteria.
2: Describe strategies to bolster NICU parent confidence and competence prior to discharge.
3: Describe key strategies to smooth transition home for parents with premature babies.
As parents prepare to leave the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with their premature infant, they might feel like they are packing for an arduous and uncertain journey. Despite thorough NICU discharge preparation, parents often struggle when transitioning home from the NICU. This speaker will draw on over 25 years’ experience working with premature infants and their parents following NICU discharge to share common caregiving challenges post-discharge. NICU visit duration, independent care, and establishing community supports may bolster parent confidence and competence. Keeping the most common post-discharge challenges in mind may guide health care teams when helping parents “stuff their backpack” for their trip from NICU to home. An appreciation of these common occurrences will allow clinicians to focus discharge teaching. Following this presentation participants will appreciate NICU discharge preparedness from the parent’s perspective and identify strategies to smooth the transition from NICU to home.
