About this trial

Close Collaboration with Parents intervention is an evidence-based educational intervention for the entire multi-professional staff of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The goal of the intervention is to strengthen partnership between staff and parents, enhance parental participation in infant care. There are no studies yet about the effects of the Close Collaboration with Parents intervention on the long-term neurodevelopment and socio-emotional development of very preterm infants and their interaction with their parents. Accordingly, a multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial is planned. Prior to initiating this large-scale study, it is essential to validate the measurement instruments. Therefore, a pilot study will be conducted to assess their feasibility and to determine the appropriate sample size.
