Abstract

About three-quarters of the parents experienced high overall stress levels. Also, factors that were found to affect parents' stress levels included premature infants connected to mechanical ventilators, previous neonatal death, parents living far from hospitals, infants delivered through cesarean section, insufficient income, and prolonged hospitalization beyond 5 days.
