Impact of Serial Bedside Video Calls on Stress Level in Parents of Infants Admitted to NICU - Trial NCT06252883

Timeline & Enrollment

Primary Outcome

Change in the stress level of parents of infants admitted to NICU more than 7 days.

Summary

The goal of this randomized prospective interventional study is to determine if serial
 bedside video calls w/audio feature to NICU parents in addition to the routine phone and/or
 bedside updates can reduce parental stress level. The main question it aims to answer is if
 the impact of audio-visual calls to nicu parents can improve parent-infant relationship in
 the form of reduced parental anxiety/stress level.
 
 Participants will be parents of infants admitted to NICU for more than seven (7) days.
 
 Parents in Group A will receive serial video call communication, 2-3 days a week in addition
 to the daily phone and/or bedside updates.
 
 Parents in Group B will receive daily phone and/or bedside updates per our NICU routine.
 
 Parents will complete a series of questionnaires (PSS-NICU, STAI Y-1 & 2 and MSPSS) at 3
 designated periods during an 8-week time frame.
 
 Researchers will compare Group A (intervention group) and Group B (control group) to see if
 there is any difference in the stress levels in relation to the intervention (serial video
 calls) at the end of the study time frame.
