Clinical pathway for enhanced parent and preterm infant interaction through parent education.
The article discusses the importance of implementing a clinical pathway in the neonatal intensive care unit that emphasizes parent education. Through an extensive literature review, a clinical path was developed that incorporates parent education through an individualized, developmentally supportive model of interaction. The clinical path is designed to be utilized as a teaching tool from birth to discharge from the hospital. The path can serve as a guide for teaching and identifying learning objectives a long a time line as well as for providing consistent documentation.
