简要总结
The objective of this study is to determine the extent to which the SMART NICU2HOME (including EMR interface) and the NICU2HOME apps, mobile applications designed for parents of premature infants to receive daily, real-time information about their infants and personalized education material based on parents' anticipated concerns and their infant's clinical status, is effective in: 1) improving parents' competency in caring for their sick infants, 2) reducing stress, 3) supporting parents' social supports and 3) improving NICU outcomes (parent satisfaction, length of stay, readmission rates.)
详细描述
There will be four groups of participants based on when the infant is in the NICU.
Parents of infants born from April -Mid-August 2018 (Group 1) Group 1 participants will receive usual care which includes 1) a welcome packet from the nursing staff, 2) access to their infant's medical team including doctors and nurse, 3) opportunities to ask any questions and understand the care their baby is receiving through participation in daily work rounds or through setting up family meetings with the medical team.
At NICU admission, parents in Group 1 will be asked to complete a brief demographics form and several standardized surveys that measure stress and life experiences. Surveys will again be administered 7-10 days later, the day before discharge, two weeks after discharge and 30 days after discharge. These surveys will be available both via on paper or an email link.
Parents of infants born from Mid-August - January 2019 (Group 2) At NICU admission, parents in Group 2 will be asked to complete a brief demographics form and several standardized surveys that measure stress and life experiences. Surveys will again be administered 7-10 days later, the day before discharge, two weeks after discharge and 30 days after discharge. These surveys will be available both via on paper or an email link.
In addition to the usual care made available to Group 1 and described above, Group 2 parents will also be asked to download the NICU2HOME app from a given website where they will enter MRN, DOB, name, gender, and due date of their infant into the smartphone app. In case there are difficulties downloading or using the app, the research team will be available to assist parents with any questions or concerns.
