“…Results show that FCC interventions improve the clinical outcome of the infant, i.e., weight gain and readmission rates. Above that, these interventions also improve parent-reported outcomes, i.e., satisfaction with care, stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression, which in turn may have an effect on child physical and mental well-being (19).…”

Family-Centered Care at Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Units in Germany and the Relationship With Parent and Infant Well-Being: A Study Protocol

et al. 2021

Rationale and Aim: Infants with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) are at risk for neurodevelopmental delays, emotional, social and behavioral difficulties. Hospitalization early in life and associated stressors may contribute to these challenges. Family-centered Care (FCC) is a health care approach that is respectful of and responsive to the needs and values of a family and has shown to be effective in improving health outcomes of premature infants, as well as the mental well-being of their parents. However, there is limited empirical data available on FCC practices in pediatric cardiology and associations with parent and infant outcomes.Methods and Analysis: In this cross-sectional study, we will explore FCC practices at two pediatric cardiac intensive care units in Germany, assess parent satisfaction with FCC, and investigate associations with parental mental well-being and parenting stress, as well as infant physical and mental well-being. We will collect data of 280 infants with CHD and their families. Data will be analyzed using multivariate statistics and multilevel modeling.Implications and Dissemination: The study protocol was approved by the medical ethics committees of both partner sites and registered with the German registry for clinical trials (NR DRKS00023964). This study serves as a first step to investigate FCC practices in a pediatric cardiology setting, providing insight into the relationship between FCC and parent and infant outcomes in a population of infants with CHD. Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals.

“…Previous findings on parent-preterm infant interaction indicated that mothers of premature infants could encounter bonding difficulties and difficulties to interpret the infant's cues. 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1114418 In addition, preterm infants themselves interact differently compared to infants born at term, exhibiting less alertness, difficult behavioral regulation and providing less well-defined cues to the caregiver (Provasi, 2019 for a review). Thus, the hypothesis of an increased risk of insecure attachment in preterm children has been suggested.…”

Preterm birth accounts for nearly 15 million births annually worldwide and constitutes a considerable risk factor for atypical development. This birth context is a source of stress for the parents and often leads to an early separation between their child and them. Research on the influence of the birth status on the infant’s attachment style has shown no systematic link between preterm birth and the development of insecure attachment in children born preterm. This has opened up research perspectives in understanding the role of environmental factors. A literature review was conducted to present an overview of the current findings on parental representations (PR), particularly maternal ones, and their role in the context of preterm birth. PR quality appears to be associated with specific dyadic interaction patterns, thus exposing vulnerability factors. Studies exploring PR have pointed out the importance of considering parental mental elaboration mechanisms and contextual moderators in supporting socio-emotional development among children born preterm. We discussed the challenges of investigating PR in the context of preterm birth for future studies and emphasized the need for research studies to be conducted according to a developmental and non-deterministic perspective. This narrative review also aimed to highlight the importance of family centered care interventions in the context of a public policy focused on the child’s “First 1,000 days” of life.

“…Physical and emotional barriers prevent parents from holding, feeding, protecting, and caring for their infant, 4 leading to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder 2,5 . Furthermore, prolonged postnatal distress can negatively affect parent–infant interactions, the parents’ long‐term mental health, and the infant's development 6,7 …”

Getting a grip in the middle of chaos: Preparing for preterm parenthood during a high‐risk pregnancy – Parental experiences and needs

et al. 2022

Aim Admitting an infant to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is stressful for parents. A great source of stress is the loss of their desired parental role. This study explores parents’ experiences and needs during a high‐risk pregnancy in preparation for their role as parents of a preterm infant. Methods An exploratory qualitative study was conducted among parents with a preterm infant admitted to two level‐III NICUs in the Netherlands. A thematic analysis was performed. Results Nineteen interviews were conducted with parents of preterm infants (26–34 weeks gestational age). Getting a grip in the middle of chaos was identified as the central theme. In the pre‐admission phase, coping with potential preterm parenthood was a theme, with coping strategies as subthemes that changed over time from avoidance to being ready to parent a preterm infant. The theme envisioning the NICU emerged in the NICU admission phase, with subthemes preterm care journey and opportunities for involvement fostering parental empowerment. Conclusion Timing and content of information about a parental role in the NICU should be tailored to the individual expectant parent. A customisable intervention bundle may provide a vision of the NICU and the parents’ active role in care.
