Objective To clinically validate the nursing diagnosis, parental role conflict , in mothers of hospitalized newborns. Method Fehring's Clinical Validation Model was used, focusing on mothers, using a sample of 83. Major defining characteristics have been defined as the main indicators of the presence of a diagnosis, whereas minor are secondary indicators. Results Four minor defining characteristics were identified: (a) “anxiety,” (b) “expresses concerns about changes in maternal role,” (c) “expresses concerns about family,” and (d) “fear.” Major defining characteristics did not occur. Conclusion Mothers who spent less time with their infants were the ones that presented a major number of defining characteristics; therefore, they should have more opportunities for being with their babies. Other studies on subjective phenomena are needed.
