Clinical Trial Summary

Preterm infants are at high risk of developmental delay or disabilities and they do benefit from early intervention programs. Many programs aiming at improving preterm infants' developmental outcome have been proposed with mixed results. In low to middle-income countries, clinically relevant and effective low cost interventions empowering parents have yet to be established.


Clinical Trial Description

Education and intervention programs targeting parents of premature infants are lacking in low to middle income countries (LMIC) and in Arabic countries in particular. The main concept of this proposal is to develop a program in Arabic for parents of premature infants with the aim to increase their knowledge about short and long term problems of prematurity, increase their involvement in the care during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and promote responsive and sensitive parenting in the NICU and after discharge. This is to empower parents and have them become active contributors to enhancing their infant's development through play activities and tracking of developmental milestones. ;
