Abstract
Purpose: This study examines the experience of mothers whose very low birth weight (VLBW) infants require supplemental oxygen during their hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Subjects: Eleven mothers of VLBW infants who have received supplemental oxygen in the NICU for a minimum of 7 days were selected for interview.Design: Qualitative descriptive.Methods: One semi-structured interview exploring mothers' experiences surrounding oxygen supplementation was conducted.Qualitative content analysis was undertaken to describe mothers' experience.Principle Results: Four themes emerged: oxygen is a positive, worries about the adverse effects for my baby now and in the future, oxygen supplementation has been a learning experience, and oxygen is a barrier to mothering.Conclusion: Mothers balanced the positive aspects of oxygen supplementation with their fears of the negative consequences.They are able to adapt to the equipment and trajectory of having their infant on supplemental oxygen.Mothers were particularly distressed by the physical barriers created by oxygen supplementation (i.e., unable to hold, hear, or see their baby).Nurses in the NICU should support mothers' positive reframing as a way of coping, provide education and about the consequences of this therapy, encourage mothers to touch and hold their infants, and provide opportunities for them to see their infant's face.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
