Educational intervention on preterm infants’ behaviours for the promotion of parental confidence

Supporting parents in understanding the behaviour of their preterm infant can promote parental confidence. A clinical project consisting of an educational intervention that aimed to support parents in their observation, interpretation and response to their preterm infant’s behaviours within the motor subsystem was evaluated for its effectiveness in promoting parental confidence. The initial evaluation of the educational intervention suggests that parental confidence was improved. Mothers were satisfied with each component of the educational intervention.
