Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a family nurture intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infants receiving enhanced mother-infant and family nurture are compared to infants receiving standard NICU care. The intervention enhances mother/infant interactions that are vital to early development in the infant. The main goal is to get the mother and infant into biological synchrony, emotional attunement and mutual calm through an activity referred to as a "calming cycle". Mother's are encouraged to engage in the calming cycle activities as much as possible. Her increased effectiveness in calming her infant is hypothesized to improve the mother's view of her baby, reduce negative emotions about having delivered a baby prematurely, and help her gain confidence in her care-taking abilities, which in other studies predicted shorter length of stay and fewer re-hospitalizations. Another goal is to assist mothers in repeating the calming cycle activities providing appropriate types of stimulation for their babies that are important for social, emotional, and neurobehavioral development. Since preterm babies are often easily upset, mothers will be taught how to comfort and calm their babies. Assessments in the NICU and in follow-up visits for two years will test the immediate and long-term effects of this new approach to the nurture of prematurely born infants.
