Nurse-parent communication and interaction during caregiving events in single-family room neonatal intensive care units.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This study systematically describes neonatal nurses' communication and interactions with parents of preterm infants during nurse-guided caregiving events in the first week after birth, in family-centered neonatal intensive care units with single-family rooms. Methods: In-situ video observations were analysed using an interaction analysis approach. Results: Six nurses and eleven parents of seven preterm infants participated in the study. Six video observations were conducted in two NICUs, each lasting 25-65 min. The analysis suggested five communication patterns, coded as Innovation: This study focused on interactions in family-centered neonatal intensive care units with single-family rooms. The in situ video observation of nurse-guided caregiving events provides a new and important perspective on the implementation and operation of single-family room design in neonatal intensive care units. Conclusion: Our study suggests that nurse-parent communication and interactions during caregiving events are complex and multifaceted. Nurses must balance the provision of advanced care to preterm infants with support for parents. The implementation of family-centered care and single-family room design has positive outcomes for both infants and parents, but it requires advanced communication skills in comprehensive interactions with parents. We recommend that the implementation of family-centered models of care and single-family rooms in new NICUs in the future be accompanied by a broader focus on communication with parents as a core component of care.
