    AbstractThe investigator used a semistructured interview and McCubbin's Familial Invulnerability Test to examine how mothers and fathers cope with caring for a cardiorespiratory-monitored infant in the home. Content analysis of interview data showed that the persistent gravity of the situation and fears of incompetency in managing their infant's care, coupled with inadequate respite, were the greatest source of hardship for parents. Informational and emotional support from family members and professionals were resources used to manage this experience. Both emotion-focused and problem-focused strategies were used to cope with this situation.
