Effectiveness of family-integrated-care for preterm infants with moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia / 中国新生儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effectiveness of family-integrated-care (FICare) for preterm infants with moderate to severe bronchopuhnonary dysplasia (BPD) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Method Preterm infants with moderate to severe BPD in Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the objects.These infants were assigned into two groups (FICare group and control group) in the base of whether the parents agreed to implement FICare.If the infant was enrolled into FICare group,the parents need to spend 3 hours in ward every day,and participate in nursing services under the guidance of nurses.The nursing services included bathing,cuddling,skin care,breast-feeding,and so on.If the infant was enrolled into control group,these nursing services were implemented by nurses.Oxygen exposure time,breast-feeding rate,time of begin oral feeding,time of total oral feeding,weight growth rate during hospitalization,weight of discharge,length of stay,readmission rate within 30 days,the rate of parents that mastered basic care knowledge and skills when discharge from hospital,the rate of satisfaction,and the rate of follow-up within 30 days of the two groups were compared.Result There were 106 cases in our study,54 in the FICare group and 52 in the control group.Compare the FICare group and the control group,there were statistical differences between two groups in the follow aspects (all P ＜ 0.05)oxygen exposure time [(57.1 ±20.9) d vs.(71.4 ±32.6) d],breast-feeding rate (77.8％ vs.44.2％),time of total oral feeding [(46.1 4 19.6) d vs.(59.4 ± 30.2) d,length of stay [(65.8 ± 18.4) d vs.(84.3 ±35.0) d],the rate of parents that mastered basic care knowledge and skills when discharge from hospital (96.3％ vs.82.7％),the rate of satisfaction (94.4％ vs.84.6％),the rate of follow-up within 30 days (92.6％ vs.73.1％).Conclusion FICare could significantly reduce oxygen exposure time of preterm infants with moderate to severe BPD,could improve the level of parents mastered basic care knowledge and skills of preterm infants,especially in critically ill preterm children,and could shorten length of stay of them.FICare is beneficial to the healthy growth of premature infants with BPD.
