Abstract

The admission of a newborn to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is considered as a cause of stress and tension for parents, which leads to difficulty in communication between them and the doctors treating their babies. In this study, an Arabic language leaflet was developed as a health education tool for testing its effect in enhancing communication with NICU parents and an Arabic-language questionnaire was used for this issue. The study was held at NICU of Kasr el aini teaching Hospital on one hundred fathers having their children inside the unit. It was found that the tool has decreased the "bad" idea about the NICU and what is happening inside to their newborn, so this is considered as a step in a way of improving the communication with them.
