From this list of stressors, parents chose the most stressful, rated the extent to which they felt they had control, reported what they did to cope, and completed the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (Folkman & Lazarus, 1988). The results showed that parents identified stressors both within the NICU environment and in several contexts (e.g., family, work) outside of the NICU. In addition, parents used several types of coping strategies including social support and problem solving. However, results also indicated that the NICU experience was qualitatively different for mothers and fathers. Implications for helping professionals and considerations for future research are discussed. Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:18:04Z (GMT).
