Intelligent Intervention to enhance Parent-Infant Connection and Family Resilience
This is a structured, mobile-based behavioral intervention designed to support the psychosocial health and caregiving competence of parents with preterm infants during and after NICU hospitalization. The intervention includes educational modules, interactive messages, and self-guided activities delivered through a digital platform. Content is tailored to promote parent-infant bonding, enhance parenting confidence, strengthen family resilience, and reduce parenting stress. The intervention begins during the infant's NICU stay and continues for one month after discharge. Participants receive reminders, feedback, and supportive information based on their responses and needs, aiming to facilitate the transition from hospital to home and improve early parenting experiences.
Routine Care
Participants in this group will receive routine care as provided in the NICU and after discharge, including standard parent education and support without access to the digital intervention program. They will complete the same assessments as the experimental group across five time points from hospitalization to six months post-discharge.
