Cross-sectional study involving 200 parents of premature infants hospitalized for at least 48 hours.
Participants completed the 56-item NICU Family Needs Inventory assessing five needs domains.
Data analysis used descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and t-tests.
Parents' total mean needs score was 191.73 (SD 18.7).
Mothers reported higher needs (196.20 ± 16.30) than fathers (187.59 ± 20.06, P < 0.001).
Parents under 25 years had significantly higher needs (195.80 ± 11.15, P = 0.019).
