Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the stress status and nurse-parent support perception in parents whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Material and Method: This research is of descriptive type. 127 parents whose babies were in the neonatal intensive care unit constituted the sample of the study. Data were collected with Parent Information Form, the Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) and the Nurse Parent Support Tool (NPST).
Results: The stress level of the parents was found to be 3.24 ± 1.21 and the NPST score was 3.65 ± 0.82. Those who live in the same city as the neonatal intensive care unit and who have a baby boy, and those whose babies receive respiratory support were found to have a higher parental role alterations mean subscale score. As the education level of the father decreased, the support for respect and quality caregiving scores increased. Perceived nursing support increased in parents of breastfed and formula-fed babies.
Conclusion: It was determined that there was a positive relationship between the stress level perceived by parents and the perception of nurse support. Nursing support should be given to all parents admitted to the NICU.

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde bebeği yatan anne ve babalarda stres durumu ve hemşire ebeveyn destek algısının belirlenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Bebeği yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan 127 anne ve baba araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verileri, aile tanılama bilgi formu, YYBÜ Anne-Baba Stres Ölçeği ve Hemşire Ebeveyn Destek Ölçeği (NPST) ile elde edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin stres düzeyi 3.24 ± 1.21, NPST puanı 3,65 ± 0,82’dır. Yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinin bulunduğu şehirde yaşayan, erkek bebek sahibi olan ve bebeği solunum desteği alan kişilerin ebeveyn rol değişimi alt ölçek puanının daha yüksek olduğu, babanın eğitim düzeyi azaldıkça saygı ve kaliteli bakım verme desteği puanlarının arttığı, anne sütüyle beslenen ve mamayla beslenen bebeklerin ebeveynlerinde algılanan hemşirelik desteğinin yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin algıladıkları stres düzeyi ile hemşire desteği algısı arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yenidoğan yoğunbakım ünitesinde bebeği yatan tüm ebeveynlere hemşire desteği verilmelidir.
