Family-centered care program for very premature or low-birthweight babies
This trial studies a family-centered care approach and measures how infants, parents, and hospital staff do during the babies’ care. It may help by improving the experience and outcomes for families of very premature or very small newborns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very early (32 weeks or less) or had a birthweight of 1500 grams or less
- A parent/guardian can give written consent to join the study
- The baby does NOT have severe birth defects such as severe heart or lung problems, or a diaphragmatic hernia
- There is a plan to provide full medical care/life support if needed
- Neither parent has a severe mental health condition that would prevent study participation

This trial tests whether a program that brings parents into the daily care of their preterm or low-birth-weight baby can help the baby recover faster and go home sooner. If you can spend up to 8 hours a day at the hospital, this study may be a good fit.
This study tests a program that helps family members take part in caring for their loved ones in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help families feel more involved and supported during a stressful time.
This trial studies a better way to provide counseling to families when a baby is expected to be born very early (between about 22 and 25 weeks). It may help you and your partner feel more prepared for the NICU and what to expect next.
This trial tests a “family-centered” approach that aims to keep mothers closely involved with their babies in intensive newborn care, rather than separating them. It may help families by supporting safer, more continuous mother–baby bonding during treatment.
This trial tests whether a special care approach, called developmental care, helps very low birth weight babies (under 1500 grams) who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this type of care improves their development and health in the NICU.
This pilot study tests whether a CCP (comforting, calming, and positioning) intervention can improve the NICU environment and help preterm babies develop better. It is for very premature infants born before 32 weeks or weighing under 3.3 pounds.
