NCT06057974
This prospective non-randomized controlled before-after comparison study aims to evaluate the effects of the Close Collaboration with Parents, a family-centered care intervention for NICU staff, on parents of the newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We focus on (1) family centered care of the NICU rated by parents, (2) parental anxiety symptoms, and (3) their discharge readiness. The intervention is planned to be implemented between December 2023 and December 2024. The investigators will collect data from parents whose newborns are admitted to the NICU before and after the intervention and compare the two groups. In most cases, the parents of the two groups belong to different cohorts.
NCT04761419
An observational cohort study to show the effect of parents' presence beside their infants, skin-to-skin contact (SCC), participation in infant care, or any interaction with their infants on parents' and infants' short- and long-term outcomes. Investigators create a hypothesis that longer parents' presence, SCC, participation in infant care, and any interaction with their infants affect outcomes of infants and parents by preventing parents' depression and promoting parent-infant bonding and, in addition, by shortening the length of stay, promoting growth, promoting establishment breastfeeding, and improving developmental outcomes. Parents are asked to make a record of the length of their presence, SCC, participation in infant care, and any interaction with their infants, which are quantitative measurements of family centered care (FCC). Investigators also collect the data related to the background information of the family, delivery, the clinical course of infants, and the outcome measures of the infants and parents. No intervention is included in this research. The study setting is a level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Nagano Children's Hospital in Nagano, Japan. Eligible infants are those who are born at 34 weeks of gestation or earlier from Japanese parents in Nagano Children's Hospital and need admission into NICU in the same hospital. Infants are excluded from this study if they have any major anomalies including suspicion of chromosomal disorder on admission, if at least one parent is Not Japanese, or if they do not survive until discharge home. The primary outcomes are the EPDS and Japanese version of Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS-J) of the parents. The secondary outcomes are the followings; (1) length of stay (days), (2) physical measurements at 36 weeks (g or cm) and growth rate from birth to discharge home (g or cm /d), (3) breastmilk-feeding (exclusive, partial, or no breast milk) and the frequency of breastfeeding directly from breast at 36 weeks PMA and at discharge (average frequency per day), and for the infants whose birth weight \<1500g only, (4) developmental quotient (DQ) at 6 and 18 months of corrected age, and 3 years old assessed by Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development (KSPD).
NCT05717075
The goal of this cross-over randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effects of medical rounds with parents. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How feasible the protocol of this study is to include parents in the medical round? * Does the Family Round promote the quality of family centered care in the NICU perceived by parents and healthcare staff? * Does the Family Round promote parent-infant bonding? * Does the Family Round reduce parents' anxiety? * Does the Family Round increase parents' satisfaction? * Does the Family Round improve staff's communication skills to integrate parents in the discussion of medical rounds? Participants will participate in the Family Round for two weeks, which is organized by healthcare staff following a protocol aiming to integrate parents into the discussion. They will be compared to the two-week period without the Family Round.
NCT07122830
The goal of this mixed methods study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a parent-led family integrated care program in a Level II neonatal unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it feasible to implement a parent-led Family Integrated Care (FIC) program in a Level II neonatal unit? * How acceptable is the FIC program to parents and nurses? * Can the FIC program help improve parental self-efficacy and infant outcomes?
NCT05286983
This prospective single centre longitudinal cohort study enrols preterm infants ≤32+0 weeks of gestation and/or birthweight ≤1500g and their parents. Following a baseline period additional Family Centred Care elements are introduced as potentially better practices, these elements focus on four areas: the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) environment, staff training, parental education and psychosocial support to the families. The effect of the implementation of additional Family Centred Care elements on infant, parent and staff outcomes are assessed. The parallel data collection enables to study the interrelation between these three important areas of research.
