TLDR
This is the first study to demonstrate that in-unit MCB can be enhanced by a hospital-based intervention, and FNI provides a new rationale for integrating nurture-based interventions into standard NICU care.Abstract:
:Objective:This study assessed the impact of Family Nurture Intervention (FNI) on the quality of maternal caregiving behavior (MCB) while in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). FNI is a randomized controlled trial conducted in a high-acuity NICU to facilitate an emotional connection betread more

Family Nurture Intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit improves social-relatedness, attention, and neurodevelopment of preterm infants at 18 months in a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: Family Nurture Intervention is the first NICU intervention to show significant improvements in preterm infants across multiple domains of neurodevelopment, social-relatedness, and attention problems, and these gains suggest that an intervention that facilitates emotional interactions between mothers and infants in the NICU may be key to altering developmental trajectories.

Enhancing sensory experiences for very preterm infants in the NICU: an integrative review
TL;DR: Until more research defines appropriate sensory-based interventions to use with infants born very preterm in the NICU, information from this review can be combined with expert opinion and parent/family values to determine best practice.

Family nurture intervention in preterm infants increases early development of cortical activity and independence of regional power trajectories
Martha G. Welch,Raymond I. Stark,Philip G. Grieve,Robert J. Ludwig,Joseph R. Isler,Joseph L. Barone,Michael M. Myers +6 more
TL;DR: A randomised controlled trial of Family Nurture Intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit demonstrated improvement across multiple mother and infant domains including increased electroencephalographic power in the frontal polar region at term age, so new aims were to quantify developmental changes in EEG power in all brain regions and frequencies.

Autonomic regulation of preterm infants is enhanced by Family Nurture Intervention

TL;DR: Results document that FNI resulted in enhanced autonomic regulation consistent with greater maturation of cardiac function and strongly suggest that facilitating early nurturing interactions and emotional connection between pre term infants and their mothers is a practicable and effective means of optimizing postnatal development in preterm infants.

A global perspective on parental stress in the neonatal intensive care unit: a meta-analytic study
Camilla Caporali,Camilla Pisoni,Linda Gasparini,Elena Ballante,Marzo Zecca,Simona Orcesi,Livio Provenzi +6 more
TL;DR: It is underlined that parental stress related to NICU admission is a worldwide healthcare issue and immediate and tailored support to parents after the birth of their at-risk infant should be prioritized to reduce parental stress and to promote mothers and fathers’ emotional well-being and new-born neurodevelopmental outcomes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that prenatal distress can have an adverse effect on cognitive, behavioral, and psychomotor development, and that postpartum distress contributes to cognitive and socio-emotional development.

Social development: a psychobiological perspective.
TL;DR: The social development of the immature primate involves the integration of these themes in two distinct but overlapping phases, characterized by attraction to novelty, exploration, social interaction and acquisition of knowledge and skills in the contexts of foods, predators and other members of the species.
