Summary
This study tested whether giving mothers of very premature babies (born 22-32 weeks) special education about developmental care helps them feel more confident and attached to their baby. 54 mothers participated while their babies were in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The education included a brochure and personalized guidance. Researchers measured self-efficacy and attachment before and after the program.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Individualized developmental care education (a behavioral intervention: teaching mothers about NICU care and how to support their premature baby)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple education programs help mothers feel more confident and connected to their premature babies, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. It measures feelings and attachment, not direct health outcomes for the baby.
