Summary

This study tested whether telling NICU parents to be present at least 4 hours a day (instead of 'come as you can') improves outcomes. Researchers measured stress, breastfeeding, and how long babies stayed in the hospital. 191 families took part, and the goal was to see if a simple policy change could make a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Family-centered care intervention (expectation of minimum 4 hours/day parent presence)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simply encouraging more parent time in the NICU reduces stress and improves outcomes for babies and families.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study without a control group, so results may not be reliable or apply to other hospitals. It only measures short-term effects.
