Abstract

Our findings highlight the importance of early behavioral interventions like H-HOPE that support parent-partnered care, which promotes parents’ participation in their infants’ care. NICU nurses play a critical role in facilitating parent participation and confidence. Future research should examine policies and programs to help enhance NICU nurses’ readiness and ability to engage with and support parents.
