Family-Centred Care Rounds in a Neonatal Intensive Care Setting: An Implementation Sciences Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parents of infants hospitalised in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) experience significant stress and require clear, consistent communication. Involving them in family-centred rounds (FCR), a key component of family-centred care (FCC), may help meet these needs.

Aim

To assess the feasibility of implementing FCR in a NICU setting in Switzerland.

Study design

This one-group pre-post feasibility study was conducted from June to September 2022. Feasibility was evaluated using three dimensions: acceptability (participation rate and duration), implementation (fidelity of the intervention and open-ended questions), as well as limited efficacy. Efficacy was assessed through parent-reported stress and satisfaction (PSS, EMPATHIC-N) before and after participation
