This document summarizes research on the staff experience with implementing the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) in several neonatal intensive care units. Studies from Sweden, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands found that after NIDCAP implementation, staff generally reported improved parental presence at the bedside, stronger parental attachment to infants, and more collaborative caregiving with parents. Staff also perceived parents as having a more supportive way of caring for their infants. Overall, the research suggests NIDCAP facilitates more family-centered care by enhancing the parental role in the NICU according to staff perspectives.

Intervention:
True (?) family centered care
parents could stay 24 / 7 from admission to
discharge
parents had a separate room in the unit from the first
day.
The infants moved from the acute room into the family
rooms as soon as they reached a stable state.

43. Family care might operate through the
common pathhways of pain and stress
Parents in Family care may have a greater
opportunity to co-regulate the caregiving with
the needs of the infant
time the care-giving
Parental presence/skin-to-skin may
contribute to better sleep organization
44. Annica rtenstrand 44
Conclusion
Family care in a level-II NICU, where parents could
stay 24 hours per day from admission to discharge
may reduce

Editor's Notes
#13: As you remember conventional images were scored and classified into 4 groups and this slide shows the incidence of the different WM abnormalitites in the cohort.
86% of infants in the cohort had normal or mild WM abn, and only 14% had moderate- severe abn.
Jfr INDER:
These results are comparable to international data, for ex an Australian cohort of 100 infants where 20% had moderate-severe abnormalities and 29% had normal WM (Inder et al 2003)
But the GA of the infants in the present cohort is lower, here 65 infants were born &lt;26 w whereas, out of the 100 australian infants, only 11 were born &lt;26w.
The rates did not differ between the two groups.

#37: Independent of the infants needs of monitoring, parents had a separate room in the unit from the first day including beds for both parents and a private bathroom.
Infants in the intensive care rooms moved into the family rooms as soon as they reached a stable state. The parents had the primary contact with the baby and call the staff when needed.
