Proceedings of the 14th International Newborn Brain Conference: Long-term outcome studies, developmental care, palliative care, ethical dilemmas, and challenging clinical scenarios in neonatal neurology.

Infants  34 weeks gestation are at relatively low-risk for developmental delay and do not qualify for high-risk infant follow-up based on prematurity alone. However, with prolonged neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization and life-sustaining interventions, there is an increased risk for neurodevelopmental impairment in this population. Currently, there is no standardized risk stratifi cation to predict which infants  34 weeks gestation are at highest risk for delays. We aim to compare key clinical characteristics of infants with normal vs. abnormal developmental screening in the primary care setting. Our secondary aim is to identify which infants in this cohort would benefi t most from early developmental intervention. We hypothesize that gestational age alone is not predictive of normal development. We performed a retrospective cohort study of infants born  34 weeks gestation between 1/2013-12/2015, admitted to the Children's Wisconsin (CW) NICU, and followed by a Wisconsin-based primary care provider for routine developmental screening at 3-6 years of age. Developmental screening results reported either in the primary care visit note or any CW subspecialty clinic note were included for analysis. Screening was considered abnormal if developmental concerns in cognition, motor, language, and/or social domains were documented. In addition, neonatal diagnoses, procedures, and clinical characteristics were extracted. Mann Whitney, Chi-Square, and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare patients with normal vs. abnormal preschool age development. We screened 1345 NICU infant charts, and 88% received primary care developmental screening (Figure 1 ). We identifi ed 559 (47%) infants with abnormal

Evaluation of Sleep Practices and Knowledge in Neonatal Healthcare.

Developmental care is designed to optimize early brain maturation by integrating procedures that support a healing environment. Protecting preterm sleep is important in developmental care. However, it is unclear to what extent healthcare professionals are aware of the importance of sleep and how sleep is currently implemented in the day-to-day care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Identifying the current state of knowledge among healthcare professionals regarding neonatal sleep and how this is transferred to practice. A survey was distributed among Dutch healthcare professionals. Three categories of data were sought, including (1) demographics of respondents; (2) questions relating to sleep practices; and (3) objective knowledge questions relating to sleep physiology and importance of sleep. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rho test and Cramer's V test. Furthermore, frequency tables and qualitative analyses were employed. The survey was completed by 427 participants from 34 hospitals in 25 Dutch cities. While healthcare professionals reported sleep to be especially important for neonates admitted in the NICU, low scores were achieved in the area of knowledge of sleep physiology. Most healthcare professionals (91.8%) adapted the timing of elective care procedures to sleep. However, sleep assessments were not based on scientific knowledge. Therefore, the difference between active sleep and wakefulness may often be wrongly assessed. Finally, sleep is rarely discussed between colleagues (27.4% regularly/always) and during rounds (7.5%-14.3% often/always). Knowledge about sleep physiology should be increased through education among neonatal healthcare professionals. Furthermore, sleep should be considered more often during rounds and handovers.

Effectiveness of an Instructional Program on Nurses’ Practices toward Change Position Effect of Preterm Babies with Respiratory Disorders

Background: Positioning is a crucial aspect of developmental care because it keeps the infant flexible, aligned, confined, and comfortable. It is a simple therapeutic procedure that is effective and safe for preterm infants. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of an instructional program on nurses' practices toward change position, and to find out the relationships between the effectiveness of instruction program and demographic characteristics of nurses. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study design was initiated from 20 December 2022 to 22 May 2023 at Maysan hospital for child and birth, in Al-Amarah city. A non-probability “convenience” sample was selected and consisting of 50 Nurses. The data was obtained by observation utilizing a constructive practices checklist. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data by using SPSS (version 26.0) Results: Findings reveal that nurses in the study group are showing fair level of practices during the pre-test time (76%) while they are showing good level of practices during the post-test 1 (88%) and post-test 2 (84%) that indicate the significant changes in level of practices among nurses after applying the program. Conclusion: The Instructional program had a positive effect on the practices of neonatal intensive care unit nurses. There were significant differences in the study group's practices scores between the pre-test and post-test. There was association between nurses’ practices and their age. Recommendations: Providing Neonatal intensive care unit nurses with posters, leaflets, and books so they can learn enough about the right and safe position for preterm babies. Standardized checklists should be made available in NICU.

New perspectives on responsive infant care: A qualitative study of the ways in which Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) shapes mother-infant co-occupations

ABSTRACT Background Becoming a parent is a significant occupational transition. Many contemporary approaches to infant care focus on algorithmic schedules and rigid routines for sleep and feeding; delayed responses to cues related to feeding, sleep, and cry-fuss communication; minimising sensory stimulation for feeding, sleep, and to address cry-fuss communication; and sometimes highly medicalized approaches to unsettled infant behaviour via lenses of reflux, allergy, and tongue-tie, often without a supportive evidence-base or adequate assessment. Such interventions are at odds with a co-occupation perspective. Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) provides information and guidance to support evidence-based infant care that supports caregivers to respond to their infant’s communication cues. This research aimed to explore how day-to-day co-occupations of parents and infants are shaped by accessing NDC. Methods This qualitative thematic analysis was guided by interpretive description. Twelve mothers who had accessed NDC with their infant in Australia participated in semi-structured telephone/Zoom video interviews. Findings Flexibility across the days was identified as the overarching theme regarding mother-infant co-occupations within the data. Three sub-themes describe how mothers changed the ways they put together their daily occupations with their babies in relation to 1) sleep, 2) feeding, and 3) calming through sensory nourishment. Conclusion This research offers novel insights into responsive care from the perspective of the ways in which mothers flexibly orchestrate their days so that they can respond to their infants’ communication throughout the days. Mothers’ responses offered insights regarding an occupational approach to responsive infant care which warrants further research.

'All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children should have access to the ASQ-TRAK': Shared vision of an implementation support model for the ASQ-TRAK developmental screener.

The ASQ-TRAK, a strengths-based approach to developmental screening, has high acceptability and utility across varied Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contexts. While substantive knowledge translation has seen many services utilise ASQ-TRAK, we now need to move beyond distribution and support evidence-based scale-up to ensure access. Through a co-design approach, we aimed to (1) understand community partners' perspectives of barriers and enablers to ASQ-TRAK implementation and (2) develop an ASQ-TRAK implementation support model to inform scale-up. The co-design process had four phases: (i) partnership development with five community partners (two Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations); (ii) workshop planning and recruitment; (iii) co-design workshops; and (iv) analysis, draft model and feedback workshops. Seven co-design meetings and two feedback workshops with 41 stakeholders (17 were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander), identified seven key barriers and enablers, and a shared vision - all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families have access to the ASQ-TRAK. Implementation support model components agreed on were: (i) ASQ-TRAK training, (ii) ASQ-TRAK support, (iii) local implementation support, (iv) engagement and communications, (v) continuous quality improvement and (vi) coordination and partnerships. This implementation support model can inform ongoing processes necessary for sustainable ASQ-TRAK implementation nationally. This will transform the way services provide developmental care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, ensuring access to high quality, culturally safe developmental care. SO WHAT?: Well-implemented developmental screening leads to more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children receiving timely early childhood intervention services, improving developmental trajectories and optimising long-term health and wellbeing.

Inter-Rater Reliability of the Polish Version of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale in Children with Heart Disease.

There is an urgent need for the systematic monitoring of motor and cognitive neurodevelopment and the evaluation of motor skill development in infants and children with heart disease. Familiarizing students and early graduates with the developmental care needed by these patients may help in the system-wide implementation of early motor screening in this population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the agreement between a last-year physiotherapy student and an experienced pediatric physiotherapist when applying the Polish version of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) to a heterogenous group of children with congenital heart defects. Agreement between raters was verified based on the observation of 80 (38 females) patients with heart disease aged 1-18 months using a Bland-Altman plot with limits of agreement and an intraclass correlation coefficient. The bias between raters for the total score for four age groups (0-3 months, 4-7 months, 8-11 months and 12-18 months) was between -0.17 and 0.22 (range: -0.54-0.78), and the ICC was between 0.875 and 1.000. Thus, a reliable assessment of motor development or motor skills using the Polish version of the AIMS can be performed in pediatric patients with heart defects by clinically inexperienced last-year physiotherapy students who are familiarized with the AIMS manual.

Preterm infant cues during breastfeeding and its measurement: A scoping review.

Preterm infants display certain behaviors to communicate their needs, known as preterm infant cues. However, the existing research on preterm infant cues primarily draws from studies conducted on bottle-fed infants rather than breastfed infants. This study aimed to investigate the concept of preterm infant cues during breastfeeding and its appropriate instruments. A scoping review. The articles published up to January 2022 were searched from multiple sources from EBSCOhost Web, namely CINAHL Plus with Full Text, MEDLINE, ERIC, and E-Journals. The articles retrieved for this review were screened using PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) format. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) checklist was used in selecting the articles, and Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal was utilized by two independent authors to assess the articles' quality. A descriptive method was used to analyze the data. The initial review stage found 183 potential articles, but only four satisfied the criteria. The notion of preterm infant cues during breastfeeding is centered on the actions of preterm infants while positioned on their mother's chest. These feeding cues are identifiable before, during, and after breastfeeding and include cues for hunger, self-regulation, stress, satiation, approach, avoidance, and sucking quality. To effectively recognize these cues, tools such as the Preterm Infants Cues Coding System (PFCCS), Infant Driven Scale (IDS), Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP), and Preterm Breastfeeding Behavior Scale (PIBBS) can be utilized. The study findings highlight the importance of recognizing preterm infant cues during breastfeeding to facilitate proper feeding and developmental care. Observational studies have proven to be an effective means of observing these cues during breastfeeding. By leveraging the cues identified in this review alongside tools such as PFCCS, IDS, NIDCAP, and PIBBS, nurses can accurately interpret preterm infants' breastfeeding cues in neonatal care settings of all levels. This, in turn, can aid in developing care plans that promote better feeding ability outcomes.

The Effect of Seven Developmental Care Models on Mothers' Stress and Premature Infants' Length of Hospitalization

The Neonatal Integrative Developmental Care Model (NIDCM) is a holistic model of premature infant care that refers to the seven neuroprotective developmental care cores involving the family. This study aimed to assess the effect of the application of NIDCM on mothers’ stress response and length of stay in the neonatal care unit. This study used quasi-experimental with nonequivalent control group pre and posttest design. This study was carried out in the neonatal care unit at RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar from January 2020 to April 2021. The samples were 76 subjects consisting of 38 premature infants (19 controls, 19 interventions) and 38 mothers (19 controls, 19 interventions) ethical clearance by the Health Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Hasanuddin No. 938/UN4.6.4.5.51/PP36/2009. The results show 1) NIDCM is proven to be able to reduce maternal stress more compared to routine Developmental Care (DC); 2) NIDCM is proven to shorten the length of stay compared to routine DC in infants with a gestational age of ≥33 weeks with BW ≥1800 grams (Median : 1900 grams), while in infants with a gestational age of <33 weeks and BW <1800 grams (Median : 1650 grams), NIDCM and routine DC are not proven to shorten the length of stay. It can be concluded that applying NIDCM reduces the stressors felt by mothers while their infants are in the neonatal room. In addition, the condition of infants with birth weights less than 1800 grams needs special attention with NIDCM intervention.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Digital Game-Based Learning Given to Nursing Students for the Developmental Care of Infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Although simulation laboratories are widely used in today's nursing education programs, it is becoming more and more difficult to find adequate physical space, equipment, and instructors for laboratory practices in schools. With increasing access to quality technology, schools prefer Web-based education or virtual games as another way of learning through simulation laboratories. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of digital game-supported teaching activity given to nursing students for the developmental care of infants in neonatal ICU on learning. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a control group. Within the scope of the study, the researchers, together with the technical team, developed a digital game in accordance with the purpose of the study. The study was conducted in a health sciences faculty, nursing department, between September 2019 and March 2020. Sixty-two students were included in the study, which were divided into two groups, with 31 students in the experimental group and 31 students in the control group. The study data were collected using a personal information tool and a developmental care information tool. Whereas the digital game learning method was used for the students in the experimental group, the traditional teaching method was used for the students in the control group. No significant difference has been found between the pretest knowledge scores of the students in the experimental and control groups (P > .05). A statistically significant difference has been found in the rates of giving correct answers between the groups in the posttest and retention test (P < .05). The students in the experimental group gave more correct answers in the posttest and retention test than the students in the control group. In line with these results, the learning method with digital games is effective in increasing the knowledge level of nursing undergraduate students. Therefore, it is recommended to integrate digital games into education.

Effects of Patient and Family-Centered Care on Quality of Care in Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review

Background: Patient and family-centered care is one approach that is applied in pediatric care in various hospital settings to improve the quality of care. However, information related to the results of the entire study and its intervention model has not been identified effectively in child health care.Purpose: This study aimed to describe and assess the effects of patient and family-centered care on the quality of care in pediatric patients.Methods: A systematic review was used as a method in this study. Seven databases were used, including ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCO, Sage Journal, Tailor and Francis, and PubMed to search the literature for relevant published reviews that determined patient and family-centered care interventions between 2011 and 2021. The synthesis without meta-analysis guidelines was used to analyze the data in this review. The data were further analyzed by critically assessing the quality of the articles using the JBI and CASP checklists.Results: From a total of 29.780 articles identified, fifteen articles were included in this review. Several models of patient and family-centered care interventions were identified, such as family-centered care, family-centered communication program, family-integrated care, family nurture intervention, family empowerment, parent participation, close collaboration, mother-nurse partnership program, and the newborn individualized developmental care and assessment program. From those models, the outcomes for quality of care were related to the pediatric quality of life, length of stay, patient safety, parent satisfaction, parent psychological response, and parent involvement and partnership with staff.Conclusion: The shreds of evidence indicate that patient and family-centered care can improve the quality of care in the pediatric patients. It is recommended that patient and family-centered care can be implemented in pediatric care by increasing the participation of family during treatment.

Maternal mental health and engagement in developmental care activities with preterm infants in the NICU

ObjectiveTo examine associations between maternal mental health and involvement in developmental care in the NICU.Study designMothers of infants born <32 weeks gestation (n = 135) were approached to complete mental health screening questionnaires at two weeks after admission. Mothers who completed screening (n = 55) were further classified as with (n = 19) and without (n = 36) elevated scores. Mothers’ frequency, rate, and duration of developmental care activities were documented in the electronic health record.Results35% of screened mothers scored above the cutoff for clinical concern on ≥1 measure. No significant differences between the 3 groups were identified for rates, frequency, or amount of all developmental care, kangaroo care, and swaddled holding.ConclusionElevated scores on maternal mental health questionnaires did not relate to developmental care. Maternal developmental care engagement may not indicate mental health status. Universal screening for psychological distress is required to accurately detect symptoms in mothers of hospitalized preterm infants.

Implementation of the Cardiac Inpatient Neurodevelopmental Care Optimization (CINCO) programme: an interdisciplinary, generalisable approach to inpatient neurodevelopmental care.

Children with CHD are at risk for neurodevelopmental delays, and length of hospitalisation is a predictor of poorer long-term outcomes. Multiple aspects of hospitalisation impact neurodevelopment, including sleep interruptions, limited holding, and reduced developmental stimulation. We aimed to address modifiable factors by creating and implementing an interdisciplinary inpatient neurodevelopmental care programme in our Heart Institute. In this quality improvement study, we developed an empirically supported approach to neurodevelopmental care across the continuum of hospitalisation for patients with CHD using three plan-do-study-act cycles. With input from multi-level stakeholders including parents/caregivers, we co-designed interventions that comprised the Cardiac Inpatient Neurodevelopmental Care Optimization (CINCO) programme. These included medical/nursing orders for developmental care practices, developmental kits for patients, bedside developmental plans, caregiver education and support, developmental care rounds, and a specialised volunteer programme. We obtained data from the electronic health record for patients aged 0-2 years admitted for at least 7 days to track implementation. There were 619 admissions in 18 months. Utilisation of CINCO interventions increased over time, particularly for the medical/nursing orders and caregiver handouts. The volunteer programme launch was delayed but grew rapidly and within six months, provided over 500 hours of developmental interaction with patients. We created and implemented a low-cost programme that systematised and expanded upon existing neurodevelopmental care practices in the cardiac inpatient units. Feasibility was demonstrated through increasing implementation rates over time. Key takeaways include the importance of multi-level stakeholder buy-in and embedding processes in existing clinical workflows.

Does the Implementation of Multidisciplinary Developmental Care Rounds Increase the Utilization of Developmental Caregiving Interventions in the Neonatal Unit?

The aims of this project were to improve the utilization of developmental care practices in the neonatal unit and to increase opportunities for parental involvement in the planning and provision of caregiving. This implementation project was conducted in a 79-bed neonatal tertiary referral unit in Australia. A pre/postimplementation survey design was utilized. A preimplementation survey was conducted to collect data on staff's perceived perception of developmental care practices. Following analysis of the data, a process for multidisciplinary developmental care rounds was developed and then implemented across the neonatal unit. A postimplementation survey was then conducted to evaluate whether staff perceived any changes in developmental care practices. The project was conducted over 8 months. A total of 97 surveys (pre: n = 46/post: n = 51) were received. Differences were demonstrated in staff's perceived perception of developmental care practices between the pre- and postimplementation periods in 6 themes of developmental care practice. Identified areas of improvement included the use of the 5-step dialogue, encouragement of parents to contribute to care planning, availability of a well-defined care plan for parents to visualize and document caregiving activities, increased use of swaddled bathing, side-lying position for nappy changes, consideration of infants sleep state before caregiving, and increased use of skin-to-skin therapy for management of procedural pain. Despite the majority of staff members who participated in both surveys acknowledging the importance of family-centered developmental care practice on neonatal outcomes, their use in clinical care is not always considered or practiced. Although it is reassuring to see improvements in several areas of developmental care postimplementation of the developmental care rounds, continued awareness and reinforcement of developmental neuroprotective caregiving strategies through initiatives such as a multidisciplinary care rounds are warranted.

Developmental care pathway for hospitalised infants with CHD: on behalf of the Cardiac Newborn Neuroprotective Network, a Special Interest Group of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative.

Infants and children born with CHD are at significant risk for neurodevelopmental delays and abnormalities. Individualised developmental care is widely recognised as best practice to support early neurodevelopment for medically fragile infants born premature or requiring surgical intervention after birth. However, wide variability in clinical practice is consistently demonstrated in units caring for infants with CHD. The Cardiac Newborn Neuroprotective Network, a Special Interest Group of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative, formed a working group of experts to create an evidence-based developmental care pathway to guide clinical practice in hospital settings caring for infants with CHD. The clinical pathway, "Developmental Care Pathway for Hospitalized Infants with Congenital Heart Disease," includes recommendations for standardised developmental assessment, parent mental health screening, and the implementation of a daily developmental care bundle, which incorporates individualised assessments and interventions tailored to meet the needs of this unique infant population and their families. Hospitals caring for infants with CHD are encouraged to adopt this developmental care pathway and track metrics and outcomes using a quality improvement framework.

Практичні аспекти викладання неонатології студентам медико-психологічного факультету

Purpose - to devote the main peculiarities of teaching neonatology to students of the medical and psychological faculty (MPF). The main principles of distance learning are emphasized as problem-solving, interactivity and orientation on personal development. The advantages of problem-solving learning are declared; it helps students in the development of clinical thinking, of the ability to predict the occurrence of psychological problems, and develops optimal tactics in communication with parents and medical personnel. In teaching the neonatology cycle to MPF students, special emphasis is placed on certain pathological conditions in newborns, which require psychological support for families. The need to provide comprehensive medical and psychological assistance to mothers, the effectiveness of which is based on key professional competencies and in-depth clinical knowledge, is emphasized. A point is placed on the fact that in the process of training in neonatology, students of the MPF must understand their special role in preventing medical stress and medical trauma for both the child and the parents, since the environment of intensive neonatology contains numerous stress factors due to excessive sensory stimulation, such as light, sound and pain, which conflict with the requirements of the brain development of a newborn baby, especially in case of preterm birth. That is why it is important to providing complete information to the parents regarding the role of each member of the team of specialists in the organization of treatment and care of the child and the need to use developmental care that meets the needs of the early development of a premature child is also highlighted. The role of the future medical psychologist in providing support to parents with perinatal loss is also determined. This problem affects many families, most of whom are dealing with their loss often alone without adequate support and help. The problem of perinatal losses and recovery of mothers and families after them is the competence of medical psychologists. The underlined requirements for the teacher are the individual preparation of high-quality learning content, which may require additional time, but the involvement of the students themselves in the preparation of the necessary materials will even more increase the interactivity of the educational process. The possibilities of using the modern educational technologies are analyzed: these are «case technologies» in small groups, «business (role) games», an inverted classroom approach. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
