First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a special infant care training program, supported by QR codes and a mobile app, can help first-time mothers feel more confident and attached to their babies after a NICU stay. Mothers in the intervention group receive face-to-face training, a guide with QR codes linking to videos, and app access, while others get standard care. The study measures maternal confidence, attachment, and infant health at discharge and at one and three months after.
