Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Family Integrated Care  Family Integrated Care is an approach to planning and delivery of health care that encourages greater parent involvement in their infants care. However, parents generally remain relegated to a supportive role in the NICU, and the majority of care for the infant is provided by NICU professionals.The Family Integrated Care (FICare) model is an extension of the principles of Family Centered Care. It is an actionable model by which parents are true partners in their infant’s care, even when in the NICU. This model was developed by a healthcare team that included parents who had previously been in the NICU (veteran parents). Integrating parents into the care team in Family Integrated Care goes well beyond merely allowing parents to be present and observe their infant’s care. The goal of FICare is to facilitate a partnership and collaboration between parents and the NICU staff, to promote parent-infant interactions, and to build parent confidence. This is achieved by promoting information sharing between staff and parents and by parent participation in their infants care. Under the FICare model, parents are taught to be involved in all possible aspects of their infant’s care (e.g., feeding, diaper changes, bathing, providing oral medications), tracking growth and progress, decision-making, and taking part in medical rounds. Parental involvement in rounds supports parents in their partnership with the care team, helps them understand and participate in care decisions, and helps to strengthen relationships with the medical team. Parents are provided with support and education to provide care for their infant and grow into their roles as care providers for their infants.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Stress levels in mothers of preterm neonates before and after family integrated care using a parental stressor scale will be assessed and compared.
Outcome of family integrated care in terms of weight gain will be measured by using independent sample T-test. 
Stress levels in mothers of preterm neonates will be compared at the time of admission and during discharge of the babies in both the intervention and the control group. The hospital stay would vary according to neonatal condition. Outcome of family integrated care in terms of weight gain will be measured by using independent sample T-test.

Brief Summary  

To compare the stress level in mothers of NICU preterm low birth weight babies using a parental stressor scale at the time of admission and during discharge of the baby and to know the result of FAMILY INTEGRATED CARE on the duration of hospital stay and growth(weight gain) in the new born.

Preterm birth is a stressful event for parents and affects the parent-child relationship. As a result the infant’s development is affected physically, psychologically, and emotionally. Studies have shown that 13% of the mothers remain depressed till 27 months after birth and worry about child health among Neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) parents. Parent stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue alter parenting behaviour and perception of parental competence, parent-infant interaction, and ultimately infant outcomes such as cognitive development, emotional regulation, and health. Many programs, such as kangaroo mother care, skin-to-skin care, and family-centred care have been developed to encourage greater parent involvement. However, most programs still adhere to the common premise that only NICU professionals with special skills can provide care for the infant, and parents are generally relegated to a supportive role. Studies have shown that Family Integrated Care(FIC) is feasible so this study will help to determine the outcome of FAMILY INTEGRATED CARE in terms of stress in mothers and the duration of stay of preterm babies.
