Uncertainties of newborn's parents in intensive therapy units ; Incertezas dos pais de recém-nascidos internados: proposta de intervenção à luz da teoria de Mishel

Objective: to investigate actions for the reduction of uncertainties experienced by parents of newborns hospitalized in Intensive Care Units. Method: integrative review, with search of scientific production between 2012 and 2016, in the Medline, Journal Storage and Capes Periodical Portals, with descriptors controlled in English and Portuguese. Also, four articles have been added from the manual search on Google Achademics. Content analysis was carried out in a categorical and thematic manner, from the identification of the sense nuclei of the ten selected articles. Results: three categories were identified: contributors to uncertainty; interventions by the health team that helped reduce uncertainty; coping strategies adopted by parents. Conclusion: the literature showed that the uncertainty is a feeling experienced by all parents, being influenced mainly by the parents' cognitive capacity, familiarity with the fact, congruence of the facts and the structure of social support. Actions that help reduce the uncertainties of parents become essential, since the inadequacy of this new condition can aggravate the health of the parents and, consequently, the infant.
