Training in Family-Focused Developmental Care: Bridging the Gap between Traditional and Family-Centered Care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Walburn, Kathleen S.; Balsillie, Lois J.; Heermann, Judith A.
Infants and Young Children, v10 n2 p46-56 Oct 1997
An educational program developed to prepare health professionals in a neonatal intensive care unit to initiate family-focused developmental care (FFDC) is described. The program was designed to support families with preterm infants. Findings suggest that the program was cost-efficient, prepared nurses to efficiently initiate FFDC, and improved maternal self-esteem. (Author/CR)
