Abstract

Objective: To assess whether Family Integrated Care (FICare) model including Family-Centered Rounds (FCR) reduces parental stress in neonatal wards.

Study design: A multicenter, stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial was conducted in ten level II neonatal wards in The Netherlands (March 2022-December 2023). Participants included parents of 613 infants hospitalized for ≥7 days. The primary outcome was parental stress at discharge (PSS:NICU scale). Secondary outcomes included parental participation, anxiety, trauma, depression, shared decision-making, and bonding.

Results: FICare significantly increased parental participation (P < 0.001) but did not reduce overall stress at discharge (FICare 61.2 vs. SNC 62.5, P = 0.21). Trauma symptoms in partners decreased (P = 0.03), and parents of transferred infants showed reduced stress (P = 0.01).

Conclusion: While FICare improved parental involvement, overall stress reduction was limited, with benefits seen in reduced trauma symptoms in partners and a reduction of stress in parents of transferred infants.

Trial registration: The trial has been registered at Clinical Trials.gov under registration number NCT05343403.

家庭综合护理减轻了早产儿转院父母的压力，但并非所有家庭都如此：一项楔形聚类随机试验。

目的：评估包括家庭中心查房（FCR）在内的家庭综合护理（FICare）模式是否能减轻新生儿病房父母的压力。研究设计：在荷兰的10个二级新生儿病房（2022年3月至2023年12月）进行了一项多中心、楔形分段随机试验。参与者包括613名住院≥7天的婴儿的父母。主要结局为出院时父母压力（PSS:NICU量表）。次要结果包括父母参与、焦虑、创伤、抑郁、共同决策和联系。结果：FICare显著增加了父母的参与（P < 0.001），但没有降低出院时的总体压力（FICare 61.2 vs. SNC 62.5, P = 0.21）。伴侣创伤症状减轻（P = 0.03），转移婴儿的父母压力减轻（P = 0.01）。结论：虽然FICare改善了父母的参与，但总体上压力的减轻是有限的，其好处是减少了伴侣的创伤症状，减少了转移婴儿的父母的压力。试验注册：该试验已在Clinical Trials.gov注册，注册号为NCT05343403。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development. The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
