Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a single family room architecture in a neonatal intensive care unit (SFR-NICU) on parents’ presence, parent–infant skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and the quality of family centered care. Study design Two cohorts of parents of preterm infants were compared: those in the unit before and after the move to SFR-NICU. The parents used daily diaries to report their presence and SSC, and they responded to daily text message questions about the quality of family centered care. Results Parents spent more time in the SFR-NICU, but no significant change was found in SSC. Parents rated the quality of family centered care highly in both unit architectures, without a change in rating after the move. Conclusion The SFR-NICU increased parents’ presence but not SSC. The change in architecture did not affect parents’ evaluations of the quality of family centered care, which was already highly rated before the move.

“…1,7,10,16,18 Parents of PTIs indicated that support for parents-infant attachment, educational and emotional support decreased their stress and empowered parental role which was essential for discharge and home care. 9,[19][20][21][22][23] Parents expressed that NCU staffs' support for infant care in NCU facilitated their infant care confidence in the hospital and after going home. 24 Studies among parents of Italy and Ethiopia reported parental higher satisfaction with involvement in the care of their hospitalized infants.…”

Introduction: Parental satisfaction is one of the indicators of quality care. An understanding of the satisfying areas would help to identify and prioritize care and support areas for infants and parents. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out the parental satisfaction with care and support in neonatal care units (NCUs). Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in NCUs of five selected public hospitals. The study was conducted among 305 parents of preterm infants (PTIs). After obtaining ethical approval, in-person interviews were conducted with parents using a satisfaction questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: Parents were moderately satisfied with care and support with a median score and interquartile range of 3.4 (3.1- 3.8). They were highly satisfied with the infant care and least satisfied with the attachment and care guidance support with median scores of 4.0 (3.5 - 4.0) and 3.1 (2.6 - 3.8) respectively. Parental satisfaction was significantly associated with parental age, gestational age at birth, and birth weight (P value < 0.05). Conclusions: Parents are moderately satisfied with the care and support received in the NCUs. Their satisfaction is lower with the support for attachment and care guidance. In addition to competent and affectionate care to PTIs, parental support for attachment, guidance, and involvement in care need to be considered by NCU personnel.
