An educational program for neonatal intensive care unit developmental care.
An innovative educational program on developmental care of the neonate was successfully implemented within the high-tech environment of a Level III NICU. Devised by a multidisciplinary team, the program provided appropriate levels of education to all personnel--from neonatologists to housekeeping staff--involved on a day-to-day basis with the infants. To assist those wishing to implement a similar program in their institution, details of program development, content, implementation, evaluation, and future goals are discussed.
