Evaluating the Effect of a Neuro-protective Care Bundle for Neonatal Nurses on Rate of Seriousness of Intraventricular Hemorrhage among Preterm Infants

Abstract

Background. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) poses a significant risk for preterm infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Globally, nurses in the NICUs may adopt various strategies and protocols to reduce the incidence of IVH in preterm infants and mitigate potential neurodevelopmental complications. Aim. To evaluate the effect of implementing a neuro-protective care bundle for neonatal nurses on rate of seriousness of IVH among preterm infants. Design. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. Setting. This study was carried out at
