Family support in the NICU to improve quality of life
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how involving family members in the care of premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) might improve the baby's quality of life. If your baby was born early and spent time in the NICU, this study could help us understand how family involvement affects outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
