A Descriptive Analysis of Family-Related Services in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Cardinal, Donald N.; Shum, Kathy

Journal of Early Intervention, v17 n3 p270-82 Sum 1993

This paper reviews literature on the support needed by families of infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). A survey of 94 California NICUs indicated that they generally provide comprehensive services to families while infants are in the hospital, less service during the transition home, and very little support and follow-up after the infants returned home.
