The purpose of this study was to examine the feelings of parents when their child is admitted to NICU, and further, how and due to what factors such feelings change. Narrative data was collected from parents whose children were born under 1500g and was admitted to NICU, and analysed using the Grounded Theory Approach (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). The results showed that the parents'feelings are diverse, and tend to waver throughout the hospitalization. In the first few days, anxiety is most remarkable among the various feelings, but seems to be alleviated gradually through receiving explanations of care provided in NICU, seeing other children surviving, and gathering information about LBW children. From then on, as the state of children improve and as the parents begin to take care of the children themselves, feelings of joy more than anxiety becomes the main feelings reported. In order to consider the ways to support the parents throughout the hospitalisation period, factors that help parents to hold the wavering feelings, such as "close relationship with the staff", "talking to others", and "having things to do for the child", are discussed.
