AbstractThe purpose of this study was to compare (a) what fathers and mothers considered stressful about caring for a cardio-respiratory monitored infant at home and (b) how they coped with this experience. Twenty-three father and mother pairs with infants currently receiving or having received home cardio-respiratory monitoring within the past six months were interviewed in their homes. Content analysis of interview data revealed five types of stressors and ten coping strategies used to manage these stressors. Fathers and mothers described similar stressors and coping strategies. Differences existed in how fathers and mothers interpreted these stressors and the type of strategies used.
