An app to help mothers understand premature infant resuscitation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to design and pilot test an interactive application called MARINA, which provides mothers with information and guidance about premature infant resuscitation before delivery. The app will feature high-fidelity simulation videos that depict the delivery environment and explain the roles of medical team members during resuscitation. Input from mothers who have experienced premature infant resuscitation will be used to ensure the app addresses their key concerns. The pilot testing will evaluate the app's functionality, usability, and feasibility for future clinical use.
