Diary

The diary is the tool through which the experiences and experiences of the parents of infants admitted to Neonatal Pathology and included in the study and the health care personnel who decide to participate will be collected and analyzed. This tool is given to the parents of infants included in the study in the first few days of the infant's stay (by the third day after admission), subject to the parents' written consent, accompanied by a brief letter of introduction to the diary itself, written by the nurses on the ward. This tool has been part of current clinical practice since January 2023.
