Abstract

A prospective study which explored the experiences of twenty mothers who delivered very low birthweight infants. The nature and extent of the physical, emotional and social involvement of the mothers with their infants is described. The extent to which nursing care was sensitive to the individual needs of mother-infant dyads is discussed. In addition, preparation for discharge and the continuity of nursing care into the community is described.
