Neonatal intensive care units receive very immature premature newborns. Mortality and morbidity rates remain high in this particularly fragile population. Caregivers involved with the child and his or her parents may experience moral distress. There are few studies on the experience of caregivers in these situations. Training, service architecture and sharing of experiences with specifically trained psychologists can improve this experience in these highly technical services.
