In Taiwan, according to the birth notification statistics of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. 164,496 newborns were born in 2020, with preterm births accounting for about 11.58%.Most preterm infants need to be hospitalized for highly specialized care, resulting in the separation of preterm infants from their parents after birth, which may have a negative impact on the healthy attachment development between parents and preterm infants. Moreover, due to the vulnerability of preterm infants, parents often lack the confidence to take care of them.
The study was a quantitative study of a randomized controlled trial, designed by experimental research method. Using GPower 3.1.2 to estimate the number of samples, and the statistical method chosen was Repeated measures ANOVA, the sample size was 80.
The subjects were divided into two groups, The control group received general routine nursing guidance, while the experimental group received general routine nursing guidance and early parental sensitivity intervention program. Using the NICU VR Tour and Premature Infant Behavioral Clues Teaching Materials as educational tools for early parental sensitivity intervention program. The outcome used the Maternal Attachment Inventory, Maternal Confidence Questionnaire and Parental Stressor Scale: Infant Hospitalization as evaluated tools.

| Early Parental Sensitivity Intervention | Behavioral | Parental sensitivity intervention include (1)Establish an emotional connection：Using the VR tour to introduce the environment, instruments and equipment of the neonatal intensive care unit, appearance of premature infants and pipeline wires on their bodies .(2)maintain physical proximity:proactively provide mothers with the opportunity to touch the body of preterm infants.(3) parents must understand their infant's cues:Using the Premature Infant Behavioral Clues Teaching Materials to play video and we will discuss and respond to the mother's questions.(4)engage in his/her care and communicate appropriately with him/her:We will discuss the behavioral clues of the preterm infant with the mother next to the incubator, encourage the mother to ask questions and participate in care activities such as changing diapers and stamping the baby's footprints on the card, asking the mother to write down the number of days of birth, corrected age, weight and what she wants to say for her baby. |
