PREEMIE PROGRESS: A Family Management Program for Parents of Preterm

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test a mobile health (mHealth), video-based family management program for parents of preterm infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). By moving beyond the basic infant care tasks taught by parenting programs and instead comprehensively training parents to use evidence-based family management skills, we hypothesize that our intervention, called PREEMIE PROGRESS, will better equip parents to meet the chronic, complex healthcare needs of their preterm infant.

Clinical Trial Description

Increasing numbers of very preterm infants are surviving and have chronic, complex healthcare needs due to prematurity. These infants experience increased healthcare utilization, long durations of stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and are at high risk of developing prematurity-related complications. As a result, their care is complex, and families need structured training to effectively understand, monitor, and manage their infant's care. PREEMIE PROGRESS is an innovative, video-based intervention that applies evidence-based family management theories to better equip parents to meet the chronic, complex healthcare needs of their preterm infant. This research aims to 1) refine a novel family management program, called PREEMIE PROGRESS, through iterative usability and acceptability testing and 2) test feasibility and acceptability of the refined intervention and study procedures in a pilot randomized controlled trial. This project will use implementation science tools and approaches to refine the intervention and study procedures to ensure that PREEMIE PROGRESS addresses key program elements that will be important for future adoption and implementation in NICU settings. We anticipate that the intervention will decrease parent anxiety and depression, increase infant weight gain and receipt of mother's milk, and reduce neonatal healthcare utilization. The long-term goal of this project is to develop, test, and translate into NICU practice an efficacious family management intervention for parents of preterm infants. Dr. Weber will significantly advance nursing science through this project by obtaining preliminary feasibility and acceptability data for a scalable and sustainable intervention to facilitate family management and improve parent-infant health outcomes. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
