New NICU training aims to ease parents' anxiety and improve care
NCT ID NCT06057974
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether training NICU staff in a family-centered care program called Close Collaboration with Parents helps parents feel more supported, less anxious, and more ready to take their baby home. About 60 parents of newborns in the NICU will answer surveys before and after the training is put in place. The goal is to see if this approach improves the quality of care parents receive.
