NCT ID: NCT05706584 Not yet recruiting - Premature Clinical Trials

The Effect of Metaverse-Based Nursing Skills Laboratory

Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Depending on the education system, the increasing number of students, inadequate practice/skill laboratories, a small number of lecturers and students with limited time in the clinic have a negative impact on obtaining appropriate clinical experience. The virtual learning environment experience will prepare the student for the clinic in the most realistic way and will reduce the risk of errors in clinical care and treatment. In light of this information, presenting the learning environment of the future to the student will prepare the student both in the clinical practice area and in the professional environment as self-confident and highly equipped The study was planned with a mixed method consisting of single-blind randomized controlled experiment and focus group interview methods. The research was planned to be carried out during the pediatric nursing course period between 2023-2024 Fall Semester October-December. Participants will be students taking a pediatric nursing course. Scales and Forms to be used in the Study; Informed Consent and Demographic Data Collection Form, Expert Opinion Form, Proficiency Scale for Nursing Students, Augmented Reality Applications Attitude Scale, Pre and Post Test, Student Case Form, • Focus Group Interview Form and Distance Education Satisfaction Scale of university life. The universe of the research consists of all students who take and continue the 2023 - 2024 fall term child health and diseases nursing course (N: 190). It will try to reach the universe where the sample selection of the research will not be made. To measure the learning efficiency of pediatric nursing students in infant orogastric tube care application in two different skill laboratories, considering the feeding pattern from Gordon's Functional Health patterns. (University skills lab and metaverse-based clinical skills lab) As a result, the learning levels of the students in the metaverse-based clinical skills laboratory environment will be higher than in the skills laboratory. It will also increase the student's self-confidence in the field of pediatric nursing practice.

NCT ID: NCT05651035 Recruiting - Breast Feeding Clinical Trials

Effect of First Oral Feeding by the Mother on Preterm Infants' Feeding Performance and Physiological Symptoms

Start date: April 20, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of breastfeeding on the infant's test weight and physiological characteristics (oxygen saturation and heart rate) in preterm infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit during the transition to oral feeding. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference in test weight and physiological parameters between the infants in whom the first oral feeding was performed by the mother and the infants in whom the first oral feeding was performed by the intensive care unit nurse with a bottle? Researchers will compare the breastfed group with the bottle-fed group to see if there are differences in test weight and physiological parameters.

The aim of this work to study the hemodynamic changes accompanying anemia of prematurity in neonates with gestational age ≤32 weeks and the effect of its treatment on hemodynamics.

NCT ID: NCT05438056 Not yet recruiting - Education Clinical Trials

The Effect of the Mobile Application Developed for Home Care of Preterm

Start date: December 16, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

mobile application will be developed to support the post-discharge home care of mothers of premature babies. With the developed mobile application, the effect of the education given to the mothers on the knowledge and skills of infant care, mother-infant attachment, and the mother's self-efficacy will be evaluated.

NCT ID: NCT05380401 Recruiting - Premature Clinical Trials

Metabolic Mechanisms Induced by Enteral DHA and ARA Supplementation in Preterm Infants

Start date: March 9, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A comprehensive analysis of the impact of exogenous enteral DHA and ARA supplementation on lipid metabolism including the production of downstream derived mediators and how this impacts important biological pathways such as metabolism, inflammation, and organogenic factors.

NCT ID: NCT05343403 Active, not recruiting - Premature Birth Clinical Trials

Parental Participation on the Neonatal Ward - the neoPARTNER Study

neoPARTNER
Start date: March 7, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Objective: To investigate the effect of FCR as part of the FICare principles during hospital stay, on parental stress at discharge in parents of preterm or ill infants admitted to the neonatal ward for >7 days as compared to standard medical rounds (SMR) without parents as part of standard neonatal care (SNC).

NCT ID: NCT05313464 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Parent-Child Relations

Effect of Parental Enteral Nutrition on Quality Of Parent-Child Interactions

PREMIAM
Start date: April 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Studies underline both the importance of the link and contact that occurs in the earliest days of life and the need to involve parents early with their premature child. However, the impact of parental nutrition on the later active nutrition and on the quality of parent-child interactions is currently unknown. PREMIAM study investigates whether active parental participation in enteral nutrition improves the interactions between the infant and his parents, making them more sensitive to their baby's signals and promoting their relational adjustment.

NCT ID: NCT05301309 Recruiting - Premature Clinical Trials

Integrative Early Breastfeeding Support in NICU

Start date: March 16, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background and Purpose: Preterm infants are suffered from preterm-related medical sequelae and neurobehavioral problems, which required interdisciplinary intervention. Breast milk is the best nutrition for preterm infants. However, consistent breastfeeding is quite challenging to most mothers of prematurity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of integrative early breastfeeding support and intervention programs on preterm infants' breastfeeding rate, neurobehavioral development, and maternal mental health. Method: The prospective, single-blinded randomized controlled trial would be conducted in National Taiwan University Children's Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. We would recruit the mother and infant dyad whose gestational age is between 28 weeks and 34 6/7 weeks. The intervention group (n=22) would receive integrative early breastfeeding support and intervention programs, including breastfeeding for prematurity brochure, group education class, weekly interview, one-by-one breastfeeding consultation and online peer group support. The control group (n=22) only receive breastfeeding for prematurity brochure and routine care. Outcome measure: the growth date and types of feeding data at birth, discharge from hospital, 3- and 6-month-old of corrected age would be collected by medical chart review or by interview. Maternal health condition would evaluate by 3 questionnaires, including Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Beck Depression Inventory-II and Maternal Confidence Questionnaire. Neurobehavioral development would be measured using Neonatal Neurobehavioral Evaluation-Chinese version and Bayley Scales of infant and toddler development 3rd edition at corrected age of 3-month-old and 6-month-old separately. Demographic data, birth history, types of breastfeeding data would be compared with independent t test or χ2 test. The effect of integrative early breastfeeding support and intervention on growth of preterm infants, neurobehavioral development, types of feeding, and maternal health would be conducted by logistic regression analysis.

NCT ID: NCT05260424 Completed - Clinical trials for Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn

Predictors for Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation Failure for Premature Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Start date: December 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Non-invasive respiratory support methods have been widely used in premature babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) which has changed the basic management of premature babies in the early period. According to the 2019 European Guidelines on RDS management, early nasal CPAP is recommended as first-line therapy in infants <30 weeks of age who are at risk of RDS who do not require mechanical ventilation (MV). However, some of the premature babies have faced non-invasive ventilation failure. Remarkably, infants who experience non-invasive ventilation failure are at increased risk of death, pneumothorax, intraventricular hemorrhage, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), among other morbidities. In non-invasive ventilation failure, although demographic factors such as small gestational age, low birth weight, and male gender play a role, it has been suggested that surfactant deficiency may also play an important role. The most frequently reported risk factor in predicting non-invasive failure in studies is the fraction of inspiring oxygen during the first hours of life. In addition, positive end-expiratory airway pressure (PEEP) required for patient stabilization was found to be a potential predictor. However, there are still limited data to predict non-invasive ventilation failure. "Which newborns are at high risk for non-invasive ventilation failure?" and "When should the surfactant be applied?". The study is a single-center, prospective study to evaluate prognostic factors, and most importantly to define the FiO2 threshold, which is an indicator of possible non-invasive ventilation failure in infants supported with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation.
