Brief Summary

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

1. Construct intelligent management intervention plan for parents of preterm infants from hospital to family based on the medical and health system suitable for China's national conditions.
2. Clinical randomized controlled trials were conducted to verify and evaluate the feasibility and application effect of the intervention program.

Detailed Description

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

Based on the previous literature analysis, this study builds an intelligent intervention scheme based on evidence-based methods and theories. Finally, we selected the parents of preterm infants in the neonatology department of a third class hospital in Shantou to carry out a similar experiment to verify the scheme. With data collected at five critical time points and different interventions provided according to baseline data, the study will reveal significant differences in personalized interventions, self-efficacy at different time points, and hospital discharge readiness among parents of preterm infants in the context of intelligent intervention, showing the relationship between self-efficacy and hospital discharge readiness. This study will fill in the single, traditional model of education and provide new perspectives and methods for future research and clinical practice.

control group

Routine nursing, discharge education

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

intervention group

Intelligent interventions to enhance parents' hospital discharge readiness and self-efficacy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Information support

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The experimental group was given intervention measures. According to the general data survey, discharge readiness and self-efficacy assessment, parents were divided into low, middle and high discharge readiness groups and low, middle and high self-efficacy groups, respectively, using WeChat mini programs to push different content.

Stress and coping

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

According to the results of self-efficacy and anxiety assessment, different interventions were based on different scores. Give encouragement and affirmation to parents with low anxiety and high self-efficacy. Parents with high anxiety and low self-efficacy should push stress relief methods such as mindfulness relaxation therapy in time. And through the wechat mini program to provide parents to respond to the pressure of the problem, the medical staff to give timely feedback.

Specialist guidance

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Carry out offline science popularization education and specialized training, and highly qualified specialist doctors and nurses will train parents, and parents will be assessed after training, and personalized guidance will be given according to the weak points of each parent\'s assessment.

Social support and interaction

Intervention Type OTHER

Support and encouragement for parents continue from admission to discharge, so that parents feel that even after discharge, there are people to accompany and support them.

Parentage development

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Since parents and children are separated during the hospitalization of preterm infants, we will create an environment where parents still play the role of parents, and stimulate parental competence through kangaroo care, parental touch, and breastfeeding.
