Neonatal disorders can be a source of significant stress and anxiety for parents. Having a newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be an overwhelming experience. Empathy from healthcare providers can help parents feel understood and supported, which can improve their overall well-being and their ability to care for their child. Empathy also fosters trust and strengthens the patient-family-provider relationship, which is essential for effective communication and care coordination.
