Preterm
birth is a distressing experience for parents. This distress may continue
into early childhood, with negative consequences for parents and child. The
purpose of this study is to take an in-depth look at how parents fashion
their accounts of premature birth, postpartum distress, and lives as parents
and partners. Discourse analysis of semi-structured interviews and
photo-elicitation assignments will be used to analyze the parents’
experiences in the context of the couple relationship. The study population
will include parents of premature infants born at less than 32 weeks, who
continue to experience distress when the child is at least 6 months old. In
the initial interview parents will explore their experience of prematurity,
emotional distress, and parenting. Participants will be instructed in the
photo assignment and will be scheduled for a second interview. Through
digital photography, they will be asked to critically represent their
feelings and experiences of parenting. At the second interview, the
participants will reflect upon their photographs in order to elaborate their
accounts of distress. Findings may help nurses ameliorate the negative
effects of preterm birth in order to improve parenting and the emotional
health of parents and premature children.
