Study Design and Methods: In a cross-sectional national survey study using social media recruitment, participants rated the frequency of 13 potential barriers and 12 potential facilitators using a 5-point Likert scale. Experiences of discrimination and parent–staff engagement were also measured. Results: Valid responses were analyzed from 152 participants. Uncomfortable facilities and home responsibilities were the most highly reported system-level and personal barriers, respectively. Encouragement to participate in caregiving and social support were the most highly reported system-level and personal facilitators, respectively. Participants reported low to moderate levels of discrimination and moderate levels of parent–staff engagement. Latent class analysis revealed three sociodemographic clusters. Differences in barriers, facilitators, discrimination, and engagement were found among clusters. Clinical Implications: NICU facilities are uncomfortable and may discourage parent presence. Allowing support persons to accompany parents, providing comfortable facilities, and engaging parents in caregiving may promote greater parent presence and improved parent and child outcomes. Studies of potential bias toward parents with lower education and income and effects on parent presence and infant outcomes are needed. Parental presence in the neonatal intensive care unit has benefits for babies and parents. In this study, parents were recruited from social media to participate in a survey about their experiences in the neonatal intensive care unit. They identified multiple barriers as well as many facilitators of being able to be at the bedside of their hospitalized newborn. Nurses in neonatal nursing units can take a leadership role in making their unit as hospitable as possible and ensuring that the neonatal health care team is encouraging parents' presence and participation in care.
