Abstract
To evaluate discharge readiness perceptions among mother-father dyads, parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit completed a parenting readiness survey. Fathers had more favorable perceptions than their partners. Maternal perceptions and social risk, but not infant morbidities, predicted paternal perceptions. Discharge support should focus on the mother-father dyad.Entities:
