“…Another trial reported that preterm infants who received developmentally supportive FCC exhibited less stress. 10 The participants in the present study were representative of the general US population of parents with premature infants, as indicated by the fact that prematurity levels and lengths of stay were in line with national averages; the average length of an inpatient hospital stay for a preterm infant is 13 days, nine times as long as the average length of stay for an infant born at term (1.5 days). 18 The results of the study suggest that most parents of premature children are reasonably satisfied with the access, attention and information they are receiving from physicians and nurses in the NICU.…”

“…7 Evidence from clinical trials has attested to the benefits of FCC in terms of enhanced parent-infant interactions, better mental health for parents and improved outcomes for infants. [8][9][10] During the past two decades, providers have placed even greater focus on the value of the FCC approach for the care of preterm infants in the NICU, including the application of these principles to the transition home. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] These efforts can be further advanced by learning about parents' experiences in the NICU and identifying potential areas of improvement.…”

Objective: Family-centered care is a standard of practice in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The purpose of the study was to assess successes and opportunities for improvement with parents' experiences and involvement in their premature infants' care in NICUs.Study Design: Researchers' surveyed 502 parents whose children were currently p30 months old, had been born at a gestational age p36 weeks and had gone through or were currently in NICUs.Result: Most parents of premature infants were reasonably satisfied with the access, attention and information received from physicians and nurses in the NICU. However, approximately one-fourth were only moderately satisfied and nearly 10% were dissatisfied. Conclusion:While progress has been made in meeting the needs of parents in the NICU, more work needs to be carried out to improve family-centered care efforts. Specific attention should be given to providing more information and interaction opportunities for families, which may ultimately improve NICU outcomes.

“…Werden physiologische und entwicklungsfördernde Reize, wie die Mutterstimme und Kängurupflege an einer NICU angeboten, so verbessert das die Prognose wesentlich. Traumapräventive psychologische Interventionen (Jotzo u. Poetz, 2005), psychotherapeutische Interventionen die Schritt für Schritt das ‚fitting together' zwischen der Mutter und ihrem frühgeborenen Baby herstellen (Bruschweiler-Stern et al, 2002) sowie familienzentrierte Interventionen an einer NICU scheinen geeignet zu sein, um Stress zu mindern und elterliche Kenntnisse und Verhaltensmuster zu verbessern (Browne u. Talmi, 2005;Byers et al, 2006;Tessier et al, 1998).

Summary Interrelation between well-being of the mother and heart rate variability of her preterm infantThe relationship between mothers' well-being and the heart rate variability of their preterm babies was investigated. In order to study a possible influence of the mother's well-being on the calming quality of her voice and thereby on the heart rate variability of her preterm infant, maternal/paternal stress and competences as well as family functionality were assessed via respective questionnaires. (N = 30) Preterm babies at the postnatal age of approximately 4 weeks were acoustically stimulated with the voice of their own mother. Various heart rate variability measures (NN interval mean value, NN interval median, variance of NN intervals, standard deviation of NN intervals, pnn 6,25, RMSSD, SDSD and RSA) were recorded 15 minutes before, 15 minutes during and 15 minutes after the acoustic stimulation. Non-REM sleep sections of 2 minutes duration were matter of analyses. The correlations between the mothers' well-being and their babies' heart rate variability indicate a strong relationship. The correlations point out that a higher family functionality is associated with a higher heart rate variability of preterm babies. Contradictory to the expectations, higher burden and lower resources as well as lower competences of the mothers were associated with a higher heart rate variability of the preterm babies. Simultaneous real-time investigations of the mothers' and the babies' heart rate variability during a live mother-baby-interaction seems necessary to provide further explanations.Prax. Kinderpsychol.

“…However, when working successfully with families, the reported benefits are significant. These include improved overall health outcomes for the infant resulting in fewer behavioural stress cues, increased breast feeding rates, reduced length of stay and more knowledgeable, empowered and confident parents (Bidmead & Cowley, 2005;Byers et al, 2006;Forsythe, 1998;Furman, Minich, & Hack, 2002;Gooding et al, 2011;Hook, 2006;Van Riper, 2001).…”
