Sponsor's own description

The quality of care premature infants receive at home after hospital discharge is critical to their health and well-being. Premature infants require special care, which is why Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) have processes in place to prepare mothers for discharge. However, this experience is very complex for mothers, who often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, sadness and uncertainty. Mothers need knowledge and skills about caring for a premature infant, but they also need to gain confidence, believe in their abilities, and become empowered to participate more actively and confidently in decisions that have to do with their child's health. Several approaches exist to prepare mothers for home-based infant care; in the present study, an intervention focused on empowerment is proposed as a way to strengthen mothers' competence to care for their preterm infants and improve infant health outcomes. The intervention is expected to have adequate acceptability and feasibility, as well as preliminary evidence that it improves mothers' competence to care for their infants and decreases readmissions, emergency department visits, improves weight gain and health outcomes of preterm infants.
