| Core Tip |
This qualitative descriptive study examines how nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit address maternal anxiety during kangaroo mother care. The findings reveal that nurses are not only clinical practitioners but also emotional regulators who transform maternal fear into self-efficacy through therapeutic communication and modeling. In contrast to the predominant focus on burnout in the field, effectively managing anxiety leads to substantial professional fulfillment for nurses. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing ergonomic inadequacies in the neonatal intensive care unit and strengthening nurses’ professional confidence through anxiety management training tailored to their needs. |
