NCT ID NCT07410923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving parents of premature babies short films or videos about the intensive care unit (NICU) could lower their stress, help them take part in their baby's care, and increase their satisfaction. 72 parents were split into three groups: one got routine care, another got routine care plus a short film, and the third got routine care plus a video. The goal was to see if the extra education made a difference.
