Brief Summary

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

Previous studies have demonstrated that the implementation of FICare in single-family neonatal units is associated with a reduced risk of late-onset sepsis among preterm infants, a shorter hospital length of stay, a lower risk of rehospitalization, and improved breastfeeding rates.However, the impact of FICare, guided by Swanson's caring theory, on the growth and development of newborns, as well as on parental anxiety and their sense of parenting competence, remains unclear. To address this gap, the investigators conducted a cohort study to investigate these outcomes.

encompasses the following five dimensions: Understanding: A neonatologist provided a comprehensive explanation regarding the developmental progress of premature infants, potential complications, and essential aspects of nursing care to ensure the family gained a thorough understanding of the care requirements for premature infants.

Accompaniment: Two nursing guides provided essential support to parents of newborns in the NICU, helping to alleviate the anxiety and sense of helplessness among family members and fostering a relationship of trust between the medical staff and the families.

Help: A neonatal nurse played a guiding role in facilitating parental involvement in the daily care of premature infants, which encompassed feeding guidance, introduction of complementary foods, skin care, and related aspects.

Empowerment: A psychological counselor was assigned to provide psychological counseling and guidance to new parents, offering appropriate emotional support and assisting them in a
