dc.description.abstractTrends in neonatal care aim to minimise separation of the baby from the mother in an effort to promote the well-being of both the mother and the baby, with proven positive effects on reduction of neonatal mortality and maternal health benefits, including parental sense of fulfilment and confidence in caring for the baby and reduction in breast and ovarian cancer. The findings of this study demonstrate that there is a need for adequate staff support of mothers while providing care to their preterm babies. The quality of care could be improved by ongoing communication with the mothers while in the neonatal unit, since this promotes their confidence and competence. This in turn enables positive interactions between mothers and their babies and promotes mother-infant attachment.en_ZA
