Article Review OneThe first article, Parents of premature infants two months after discharge from hospital: are they still at (parental) risk? (Olshtain-Mann, O. & Auslander, G. K, 2008), describes a study carried out in Israel which aimed to better understand “the emotional state and functioning of parents of premature infants, after an initial period of adaptation” . after infants are discharged from a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).” Specifically, this study compared parenting stress levels and perceived parenting competence among mothers and fathers two months after their baby was discharged from the hospital. The study compared parents of premature babies with parents of full-term babies. A target group of 80 pairs of parents of premature babies and an unmatched control group of 80 pairs of parents of full-term babies were interviewed for the study. Respondents were selected as follows: All couples (mothers and fathers) in both groups spoke Hebrew. The target group included premature infants hospitalized in the NICU of one of three hospitals in Jerusalem in 2001–2002. These premature babies weighed less than 3.85 pounds and were born at or before 36 weeks. All were treated in the NICU for a week or more. According to the article, exclusions included parents of children who were not expected to survive or those with birth defects. Parents of full-term babies had infants born during the same time period and in the same hospitals as the target. band. All babies in both groups were single. The interviews were conducted by social workers and followed a specific protocol. Another questionnaire was completed by mothers and parents employed to develop programs that will provide support to new parents of higher-risk children.
