Uncertainty and the NICU Experience: A Qualitative Evaluation of Family and Provider Perspectives.

There is limited information regarding caregiver and provider perspectives on uncertainty across the continuum of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience.

Major themes were generated using inductive-deductive thematic analysis.
