Abstract
Although there are several forces driving changes with regard to parents within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), they all culminate in the ideals represented in family-centered care. This article examined the variables that are perceived by parents to be barriers to their assumption of parental roles while their infants were hospitalized in the NICU. Data were used to support and implement pragmatic changes in program development and service delivery within the NICU.Keywords
