Proyecto de prácticas pre-profesionales para el área de salud mental en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) de un hospital público de la ciudad de Quito durante el periodo abril-julio 2020.

Abstract

There are very few gynecological obstetric hospitals where specific emotional support programs are developed for parents who have their children admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, despite the recommendations of the professionals and the guidelines of clinical practice that indicate that it is necessary to provide support and psychological accompaniment to families. This project constitutes a systematic review, from the qualitative paradigm, about the emotions, feelings and coping strategies that they must use in the new situations they are going through. The information resulting from the interview and survey applied was recorded and condensed into matrices in order to identify the frequency with which the various responses from mental health professionals are presented. It is considered that the results of the interviews and surveys applied, which were condensed into matrices in order to identify the frequency with which the various responses of mental health professionals are presented, favor the need to implement a containment program emotional directed to parents and mothers who have their children admitted to UCI.
