What are Environmental Stressors in Neonatal Disorders?
Environmental stressors refer to external factors that can adversely impact the health and development of newborns, particularly those in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). These stressors can originate from various sources, including physical, auditory, and sensory environments. The high sensitivity of neonates, especially those born prematurely or with existing health issues, makes them particularly vulnerable to these stressors.
