Family-centered care in the neonatal intensive care unit is critical to maternal and infant wellbeing. Being the parent of a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit is stressful. An innovative approach to meeting the needs of parents includes Listening Visits, where nurses spend time with parents and encourage them to voice their concerns and what would be helpful to navigate this unfamiliar situation. In this special topics series, four articles that include interventions to promote family-centered care in the neonatal intensive care unit are presented.
