Filter by: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.
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.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the preoperative education given to the parents of the children who will undergo day surgery on the parents' perception of family-centered care and anxiety. It is a randomized controlled trial. In this parallel group study, intervention group and control group will take place. The research will be carried out in the pediatric surgery service of the Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 60 parents, including the intervention group (n=30) and the control group (n=30), will be included in the study. Parents to be included in the study will be assigned to intervention and control groups by randomization method. The randomization will be hidden from the researcher conducting the trial until the administration begins. The researcher will be given 60 envelopes and will begin to open the envelopes when he meets the parent. The researcher will learn which group each parent is in just before the application. Data collection tools; information form, state anxiety scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale. During the data collection phase, the purpose of the research will be explained to the parents by the researcher, information about the study will be given and consent will be obtained from the parents who agreed to participate in the research through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". A brochure prepared in line with the literature and the training given in the hospital will be given to the initiative group and verbal information will be given. On the other hand, only verbal information will be given to the control group, which is done in the hospital routine. The contents of the brochure include Preparation at Home 1 Day Before the Day of Surgery, Preparation at the Hospital on the Day of Surgery, and Home Care After the Surgery. Brochure and information will be given to the intervention group in the polyclinic one day before the surgery. Information Form, State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Evaluation Scale will be filled in the polyclinic. The Information Form will be filled with the information obtained from the parents and the patient file. State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale will be filled during discharge. Data will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS 22 (IBM Corporation, New York, NY) program. Partial eta squared will be calculated for the effect size and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
Background: Admission to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is associated with significant levels of parental stress and anxiety. Parents are often uncertain to perform care giving activities and might feel uncertain to fulfill the desirable parental role during NICU admission. Furthermore, transition of the NICU to another unit or hospital is stressful for parents often related to poor information and communication. A VOICE program is developed aiming to increase the empowerment of parents, to improve partnership between parents of very premature infants and healthcare professionals. Aim: To conduct a feasibility RCT study to evaluate the implementation and the effect of the VOICE program on parental stress and anxiety in the NICU. Methods: Design is a feasibility RCT to test the procedures, compliance, determine sample size, estimating recruitment and retention, and to get first insight in the effects of the VOICE program on the outcome measures. VOICE will be implemented as a structured empowerment and partnership program for parents from admission of the infant to the NICU till the first visit to the out-patient clinic. The program exists of five structured and focused meetings, following the acronym VOICE (Values, Opportunities, Integration, Control and Evaluation). These interdisciplinary meetings with parents aim to increase the involvement of parents in the care and decision making of participants' infant in the NICU. The primary outcome measures will be parental stress and anxiety measured by the Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (Chinese version). The secondary outcome measures will be parent satisfaction with care measured by the Empowerment of Parents in the Intensive Care (EMPATHIC-30) scale, length-of-stay in the NICU, hours of parental visitation and activities, compliance of NICU staff to the VOICE program. An embedded qualitative study will be designed to explore the experiences of parents and NICU staff about the implemented VOICE program. Individual interviews with parents and focus groups sessions with NICU staff will be conduction. This will help to identify methodological issues such as recruitment and retention and any enablers and barriers to the intervention which may impede the future RCT.
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.
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).
Children's changing emotional and physical needs, continuous, comprehensive, accessible, coordinated and family requires a centered care.Parental presence during invasive procedures is important in family-centered-care. Family-centered-care is a basic principle of pediatric nursing. It is extremely important that parents are with their children during painful procedures. Research; parents during peripheral intravenous catheterization in infancy It was planned to determine the effect of inclusion on pain and anxiety.
The goal of this project is to investigate the acceptability, feasibility and fidelity of an innovative NICU rehabilitation program that will include six multimodal, gestational age (GA) appropriate, parent-administered interventions (vocal soothing, scent exchange, comforting touch, kangaroo care, infant massage and physical therapy). Using the general movement assessment (GMA) instrument, the investigators will determine the effects of this program on short-term motor outcomes (general movements (GMs), cranial nerves, posture, movements, tone, and reflexes) in premature infants (≤32 week's gestation and/or ≤1500 grams birthweight) identified as at-risk for CP. The short-term motor outcomes will be measured using the GMA, the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) instruments. This novel program will be applied during the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization when the brain is highly plastic and actively developing with the goal to mitigate severity of brain injury and its impact on development.
The study seeks to implement and test a novel approach to teach pediatric residents about patient and family-centered care (PFCC). The approach calls for a supervised meeting between a family member of a previously hospitalized child and a resident in the context of a pediatric residency rotation.
