Psychosocial stress factors in families with preterm infants during the Covid-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study
Families with preterm infants were less stressed by the pandemic than those with term infants. Targeted follow-up care focused on high-risk groups and left moderate and late preterm infants without medical check-ups. This reflects the general focus in society on high-risk populations during the pandemic. The pandemic had an influence on family planning in both groups.
