Nurse-mother communication is a challenge in neonatal units, and many moral debates in these units are due to communication problems between mothers and nurses. The present study was performed to determine the status of nurses' and mothers' perceptions of nurse-mother ‎communication in the neonatal units of selected hospitals in ‎Bushehr ‎province in 2021‎.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in six hospitals in Bushehr province. Nurses and mothers who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study using the two-month census method. Data collection tools included the mothers’ and nurses’ demographic information forms and questionnaires on their perception of nurse-mother ‎communication. The validity and reliability of questionnaires have been confirmed in previous studies. ‎Data collected from 104 nurses and 236 mothers were analyzed using SPSS version 24.

The mean score of mothers' perception of nurse-mother communication was 59.27±12.82 and the mean score of nurses' perception of nurse-mother communication was 73.37±9.57. In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between the mean score of mothers' perception of nurse-mother communication and the admitted unit and the gestational age of the baby. There was also a statistically significant relationship between nurses' perception of nurse-mother communication and their employment status.

Mothers' perception of nurse-mother communication was at a moderate level, while nurses' perception was at a high level. Considering the existing difference between their perceptions, planning is needed to enhance the role of nurses and strengthen their ‎communication skills consistent with the family-centered care approach. It is therefore suggested that nursing authorities provide a platform to educate nurses and make them more familiar with mothers' needs.

Neonatal nursing course is a period to train the most important and influential health professionals. To identify strengths, weaknesses, utilizing successful strategies, and experiences of the existing curriculum, this study were conducted to compare master curriculum of neonatal nursing program in Iran and Wayne state school of nursing in America.

This comparative study was conducted in 2020 using the Bereday model in four steps of description, interpretation, juxtaposition, and comparison using the keywords Curriculum, Program, Logbook and Neonatal Nursing on Google Scholar. The comparative elements included the philosophy, mission, vision, values, goals and objectives, entry requirements, duration and courses, executive strategies, teaching and evaluation methods, etc.

Two countries shared almost the same vision in some cases, according to the basic principles of strategic planning. However, the definition of the field, conditions for admission and entry to the course, graduates' employment status, philosophy, mission, general purpose, role of graduates, rules and regulations, payment, structural and personnel characteristics, and postgraduate topics in nursing education were different in two universities.

The results showed that the Iranian neonatal nursing program, compared to the American one in the Wayne state University, has mainly focused on research and has executive failures in organizing vigorous entry requirements for student admission (including interview, ethical certification, academic achievement), clinical rules, enriching the students’ competencies in specialized neonatal nursing skills and knowledge, and providing and securing a better position for the graduates in the clinical settings. Therefore, with identifying these deficiencies  ,we should take steps to improve the training program to achieve better results and quality care in the field of nursing practice.
