Documentation in the neonatal unit: The support given to parents and their participation in their baby’s care.
Aims: To explore how often the participation of parents in their infants’ care and professionals’ support for parents was documented in the clinical records and to determine how such participation and support were documented.

Background: Comprehensive documentation can facilitate collaboration between parents and health care professionals, supporting family-centered care, yet little is known about how this is reflected in practice. Design: A prospective, mixed methods approach was used to analyse the clinical records of newborns. Methods: The study was carried out in a large tertiary Neonatal Unit in the United Kingdom, from 2013-2014. We analysed the clinical records of 24 critically ill newborns using content analysis and thematic analysis, enabling us to determine the frequency of documented support and participation as well as how these were documented. Results: We identified four categories of support in the clinical records: emotional, spiritual, social and practical support. We also identified instances where parents were encouraged to participate in their infant’s care. Frequency differences in the documentation of support between infants facing a redirection of care decision and infants receiving active treatment were found.
