Premature infant is an infant who was born before the end of 37th weeks of pregnancy. Approximately 9.6% of infants are premature and they can be at risk for hospitalization. This study has done for evaluation of awareness and knowledge of parents about problems of premature infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This was a descriptive study with 160 parents whose premature infants were admitted to NICU (Tehran-Iran, 2009-2011). Data were collected by a questionnaire for evaluation of awareness and knowledge of parents about problems of prematurity, and then analyzed by using descriptive analytic statistical methods and SPSS software. Based on the results, there was a significant relation between age and the total score of questionnaire (P = 0.022, R = 0.18). Mothers had higher awareness and knowledge than fathers (P < 0.05). The most awareness in parents was about doing of hygienic principle when they entered to NICU and about the importance of regularly and continuous attendance in ward. Awareness and knowledge of parents about problems of their premature infant were related to their age and being a mother or father. Parents had little knowledge about some NICU principles and premature infant's needs and care.

“…Although family participation in medical rounds has been addressed in the FCC literature, much of it is not specific to the NICU setting. [17][18][19] Case Study: Families on Rounds (Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care) Traditionally, families at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital (JDCH) NICU have been asked to leave the unit during rounds. The concept of including families during weekly multidisciplinary rounds was met with resistance by the majority of the health care team; many anticipated that this would impede the rounding process.…”

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to enhance the ability to coordinate and deliver care in a holistic manner, through a family-centered care map, so that the developmental, physical, and psychosocial needs of the infant and family are met. METHODS.A Web-based map was based on 7 distinct clinical phases with 3 variations of an infant's course through a NICU. Sixty-three potentially better practices were identified and 7 potentially better practices were implemented through case studies.RESULTS. Measures of family satisfaction revealed improvements in delivery of family-centered care. Increases in discharge growth parameters for extremely low birth weight infants were demonstrated. Length of stay for very low birth weight infants decreased from 73 to 60 days in Vermont.CONCLUSIONS. The collaborative process enhances identification of potentially better practices and results in both qualitative and quantitative improvements in familycentered care.www.pediatrics.org/cgi
