Effect of family-centered empowering care program on growth and development of preterm infants
Objective To explore the effects of family-centered empowering care program on growth and development of premature infants.Methods Premature infants and their parents in the neonatology department admitted to a Grade A tertiary hospital in Tianjin from August 2023 to December 2023 were recruited as study participants.Random number table method was used to divide 32 in experimental group and another 32 in control group.The experimental group implemented the family-centered empowerment care program on the basis of routine care,while the control group received routine health education and discharge follow-up guidance.Parents'caring ability and growth and development indexes of preterm infants were evaluated before intervention,four weeks and 12 weeks after discharge.The readmission rate within 12 weeks after discharge was collected.Results There was an interaction effect between the groups and the time of caring ability of parents of preterm infants(P＜0.05).Further simple effect analysis showed that the scores of the fathers of preterm infants in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group at four weeks and 12 weeks after discharge(P＜0.05),and the scores of the mothers of preterm infants in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group at 12 weeks after discharge(P＜0.05).The growth and development indexes of preterm infants did not have interaction effects between time and groups(P＞0.05).The body weight indexes at four weeks after discharge,body length and head circumference indexes at four weeks and 12 weeks after discharge in experimental group were higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).The readmission rate of experimental group was lower than that of control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Family-centered empowering care program can improve the ability of parents to care for preterm infants,promote the growth and development of preterm infants,and reduce the readmission rate.
