To Improve the Rate of Mother's Own Milk Feeding of Premature Infants in NICU

Premature Infant Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evidence-Based Practice for Improving Quality(EPIQ) to Improve the Rate of Mother's Own Milk Feeding of Premature Infants in NICU: Study Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Thirteen hospitals in China will participate in the study, which objectives of this study is to improve the rate of mother's own milk feeding of premature infants in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU), evaluate the effectiveness of improving the quality of breastfeeding in clinical use ,form standardized process and improve clinical medical quality of premature infants.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, the cluster randomized controlled matching design was used. Considering that evidence-based practice for improving quality(EPIQ) method is not only to improve the quality of individual, but also to improve the quality of breast-feeding of the whole neonatal intensive care unit(NICU), so a hospital was chosen as a cluster. The supervision unit is used for the quality control , coordination and technical support in the whole study process.The two NICU with similar number of premature infants, the same scale of NICU and little difference in the recognition of breast-feeding quality improvement measures that meet the inclusion criteria are taken as the a floor, and then randomly divided into two groups, taking the NICU as intervention group or the control group can avoid the individual influence of the intervention. In this study, recruited 12 NICUs. The purpose of study is to to increase the consumption of mother's own milk of premature infants through the existing measures of improving the breastfeeding quality, and then to improve the quality of life of the premature infant, and to further evaluate whether this model of improving the breastfeeding quality can be promoted in other NICU. ;
