What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of developmental care for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). It will assess whether this approach can reduce hospital stay lengths and enhance family-centered care opportunities. The study employs a 36-month stepped-wedge cluster-randomized design across 40 NICUs, where each unit will eventually implement a tailored developmental care bundle. Data will be collected at multiple time points to analyze the intervention's impact on both infants and their families.
