Methodological design: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out. The population was composed of 100 nurses and of a probability sample of 20 professional nurses who work at neonatal intensive care units. Primary sources were used. Technique: Observation. Instrument: Checklist. Results: The results yielded that, regarding Knowing, 63 % of nurses displayed it, while 37 % did not. Regarding Being with, 60 % of nurses displayed it, while 40 % did not. Regarding Doing for, 72.5 % of nurses displayed it, while 27.5 % did not. Regarding Enabling, 30 % of nurses displayed it, while 70 % did not. Regarding Maintaining Belief, 70 % displayed it, while 30 % did not. The results were related to the actions performed by nurses to help single mothers of critically ill children.
