The implementation of home monitoring programmes for this group of infants has improved this initial inter-stage survival; however, little is known about parents\u2019 experiences of going home, their preparedness for discharge, and parents\u2019 recognition of deterioration in their fragile infant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951116001062_abs3\" sec-type=\"general\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was conducted in 2011\u20132013; eight sets of parents were consulted in the research planning stage in September, 2011, and 22 parents with children aged 0\u20132 years responded to an online survey during November, 2012\u2013March, 2013.
