Social support among mothers of infants who were hospitalized for an extended period from birth

Since the mid-1970's advances in medical technology have influenced the population of infants currently receiving care in neonatal intensive care units. The survival rate of infants who are severely disabled or critically ill has increased. Consequently, the care of infants with special needs has become both more complex and broader in base. These new dimensions of health care present a challenge to hospital personnel and staff from early intervention programs.
