ABSTRACT
This systematic review analyzes the research evidence on the psychosocial risks faced by graduates of Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) during childhood. NICUs hold enormous value in uniting preterm or critically ill infants and their families; however, excess NICU exposure affects infants in numerous negative psychosocial ways. Developmental, behavioral, emotional, and social issues faced by NICU graduates are the focus of this systematic review, which aims to summarize the available evidence from published literature. It points to the incidence of such problems and how they emerged, and it insists on the importance of early detection, complex interference, and constant assistance to children and their families dealing with such issues. The review uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework to assess methodological quality and includes data from various electronic databases. This review emphasizes the concurrent applications of family-centered care, early neurodevelopmental screens, and specialized intervention strategies and also, explains the different types of childhood psychosocial problems in NICU graduates.
