Parents of infants with neonatal disorders often experience high levels of stress and anxiety. Guided imagery can offer several benefits: - Stress Reduction: Visualization techniques can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, enabling parents to cope better with the demands of neonatal care. - Enhanced Bonding: By visualizing positive interactions with their infant, parents can enhance bonding and attachment, which is crucial for the infant’s emotional development. - Improved Mental Health: Reduced stress and anxiety levels contribute to better mental health, allowing parents to be more present and effective caregivers.
