Parental experiences of caring for preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit, Limpopo Province: A descriptive qualitative study exploring the cultural determinants

Parent-infant interaction is highly recommended during the preterm infant hospitalisation period in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Integrating culturally sensitive healthcare during hospitalisation of pre‑ term infants is critical for positive health outcomes. However, there is still a paucity of evidence on parental experience regarding cultural practices that can be integrated into preterm infant care in the NICU.
