| Resumo: | The aim of the study was to identify parenting practices and beliefs regarding in-home care of premature infants. It is an observational, cross-sectional research carried out with 31 parents of premature babies. Data collection tools were: family records; and the "parental beliefs and care practices scale (E-CPPC)". Data analysis was based on descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient). An autonomous-relational parenting style, characterized by a combination of distal and proximal care was identified. The main relational patterns found were overprotection, the difficulties of performing the care routine and child stimulation. Important parenting styles in that context were identified. The study highlights the need for systematic interventions that promote positive parenting abilities. New studies in different contexts are needed to generate knowledge that supports public policies focusing on domiciliary follow-up of premature infants and their parents. |
