Article Synopsis
- The NICU creates a unique language and culture that can be challenging for parents, introducing them to their infants and the complexities of parenthood in a highly emotional environment.
- While most neonatal ethics literature addresses major ethical dilemmas, there is a lack of focus on everyday interactions (microethics) that occur between families and clinicians, especially regarding language and communication about patient care.
- This paper emphasizes the importance of precise language when discussing long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, outlines the neuroscience of language processing, and suggests ways to enhance communication between clinicians and families of critically ill newborns.
