About

1. Construct intelligent management intervention plan for parents of preterm infants from hospital to family based on the medical and health system suitable for China's national conditions.
2. Clinical randomized controlled trials were conducted to verify and evaluate the feasibility and application effect of the intervention program.

Full description

Based on the previous literature analysis, this study builds an intelligent intervention scheme based on evidence-based methods and theories. Finally, we selected the parents of preterm infants in the neonatology department of a third class hospital in Shantou to carry out a similar experiment to verify the scheme. With data collected at five critical time points and different interventions provided according to baseline data, the study will reveal significant differences in personalized interventions, self-efficacy at different time points, and hospital discharge readiness among parents of preterm infants in the context of intelligent intervention, showing the relationship between self-efficacy and hospital discharge readiness. This study will fill in the single, traditional model of education and provide new perspectives and methods for future research and clinical practice.
