It has been reported that HCPs' personal and professional lives are mutually interconnected. Given the NICU HCPs' knowledge of the risks and potential adverse outcomes of newborns admitted to the NICU, their pregnancy experience may be more challenging than that of the general population. However, to date, these aspects are still little studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A qualitative descriptive study design was adopted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted between January and April 2021 in a single third\u2010level NICU in northeastern Italy.

Findings are reported according to the COREQ guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nineteen HCPs participated in this study. Participants included 12 nurses, 6 medical doctors, and 1 paediatric physical therapist. All participants reported that their professional knowledge and experience influenced their pregnancy\u2010related experiences, emotions and behaviours. Some participants employed adaptive coping strategies, while others were likely to experience post\u2010traumatic stress reactions. The narratives of the men and women were similar. Three themes were identified: \u2018Feeling different\u2019; \u2018Influence of work experience on decision\u2010making\u2019; \u2018Coping with difficulties\u2019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>To reduce the potential impact of NICU HCPs' work experience on pregnancy, family functioning and infant health, management of parental emotions should be considered for this population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hospital managers could prevent the potential distress of vulnerable NICU healthcare workers during pregnancy by tailoring interventions aimed at supporting them in becoming aware and making sense of their work experiences or sensitizing individual psychological support. Moreover, university students should be offered self\u2010help strategies to face potential dual role conflicts in their future careers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patient and Public
