Abstract

The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of moving from open bay units (OBU) to single-family rooms (SFR) on parental satisfaction in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) An observational longitudinal cohort study was conducted between February 2021 until January 2024, during which time the setting changed from OBU to SFR with a mixed transitional phase in between. All parents of infants admitted were eligible for inclusion. The Empathic-N was used to measure parental satisfaction. The Empathic-N was filled out by 110 mothers and 76 partners of 148 infants. The overall satisfaction when moving from an OBU and SFRs showed no statistical significant increase for both parents. Partners showed a statistically significant increase in the domains Communication and information (p = .012) and Organization (p = .012) after moving to SFRs. For mothers, only several statements within these domains showed a significant increase after transitioning to SFRs. In conclusion, parental satisfaction increased in specific domains after the transition from an OBU to SFR environment in a level III NICU. However, this improvement was modest and differed between mothers and partners. In case of pre-existing high parental satisfaction rates moving from OBU to SFR is not an important contributor to parental satisfaction.

新生儿重症监护病房从开放式病房搬到单人家庭病房的家长满意度。

本研究的目的是评估从开放式病房（OBU）转移到单户病房（SFR）对新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）父母满意度的影响。在2021年2月至2024年1月期间进行了一项观察性纵向队列研究，在此期间，设置从OBU转变为SFR，并在两者之间进行混合过渡阶段。所有入院婴儿的父母均符合入选条件。共情因子n用于衡量父母满意度。共情问卷由148名婴儿的110名母亲和76名伴侣填写。从OBU和SFRs转移后，父母双方的总体满意度没有统计学上的显著提高。合作伙伴在转移到SFRs后，在沟通和信息（p = 0.012）和组织（p = 0.012）领域显示统计学上显著增加。对于母亲来说，这些领域中只有几个陈述在过渡到srr后显着增加。综上所述，三级新生儿重症监护室从OBU环境过渡到SFR环境后，父母在特定领域的满意度有所提高。然而，这种改善是温和的，并且在母亲和伴侣之间存在差异。在已经存在的高父母满意度的情况下，从OBU转移到SFR并不是父母满意度的重要因素。

期刊介绍： Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival. The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas: Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
