Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

When becoming a parent of a preterm infant there is an increased risk of stress. There are a number of studies showing that parental stress has a negative impact on their engagement with their child. Other studies, on the other hand, show that different intervention programs with the aim to strengthen the relationship can decrease parental stress and hence affect the parent-infant interaction in a positive way. Structured intervention programs for preterm infants have also been successful in improving the infants' cognitive functions.

The investigators have developed a program with the aim to strengthen the parent-infant interaction for late preterm infants. The observational program is called LiMoNid. Our hypothesis is that LiMoNid will strengthen the parents' own parental abilities and give them a deeper understanding of their child. They will hopefully develop more skills on how to communicate with their child; to see, interpret, understand and approach the child, which can lead to an improved parent-child interaction. Parental stress may also be reduced by increased understanding and control. Regarding the child itself, we hypothesize that the psychological development will be affected depending on the communication with the caregiver and depending on the support it has received in expressing its feelings and needs. The emotional regulation should be strengthened by such an intervention.

The aim is to study if LiMoNid can have an impact on cognition, stress, parent-child interaction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Design is a randomised controlled study in two groups; intervention group versus standard care. Parents who meet the inclusion criteria are given oral and written information about the study aim and procedure and are asked for participation. If the parents consent they will be randomised to one of two groups. Follow-ups will be conducted at 1 month, 4 months, 10-12 months corrected age and when the child is 4 years.

Study Groups

Standard care

The family receive standard care when enrolled in the Neonatal intensive care unit

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Observation

The family receive standard care when enrolled in the Neonatal intensive care unit and are also included in an observational program called LiMoNid.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LiMoNid

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

One LiMoNid observation will be performed on day 1-3 post birth, one in time of discharge, and one in the home when the infant has reached 40 weeks (+/- 2 week). All observations are performed in presence of and in collaboration with the parents with the outspoken aim to guide the parents to learn how to read and respond to their infant' signals
