Abstract The Health Psychology emerged as a proposal for a new understanding of health and the processes involved. Associated with it, the Pediatric Psychology can be defined as the application of the knowledge of the Health Psychology to the newborn and child. The growth of this area can be attributed to technological advances and medicals who have to guarantee the survival of babies, specifically, premature and very premature. Among these advances is the neonatal intensive care unit that houses the newborn in the first few hours of life, if they need special care for their survival. The hospitalization affects parents and family, resulting in a restructuring of family dynamics, different from the expected to the baby's arrival. Among the consequences of this condition are the emotional changes, especially mothers, who have gone through breaks expectations and have more difficulties to return the balance of the body. The presence of these emotional indicators demonstrates the difficulty of these mothers face the hospitalization. This project aims to investigate the perception that mothers of babies admitted to NICUs have about this condition and associate perception to anxiety indicators, depression, maternal stress, social support received by them and their coping strategies.
