Acceptability and Feasibility of Implementing a Coordinated Hospital/Non-hospital Parenting Support and Prevention Program for Families of Infants at High Neurodevelopmental Risk After Neonatal Intensive Care Hospitalization (PRéPaR)

February 7, 2024 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon
The PRéPaR project aims to construct, with the help of parents and early care providers, a support program for the families of infants at an increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, and to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of such a program. This program aims to strengthen parenting skills, support infant development and improve the continuity of hospital/non-hospital care, including early identification of neurodevelopmental motor disorders and continuation of the support initiated during neonatal hospitalization.

    • Be between 18 months and 48 months corrected age at the time of the first focus group
    • Have at least one risk factor putting them at high neurodevelopmental risk at birth:

      • Preterm infant ≤ 31 WG + 6 days
      • Birth weight less than 1500g
      • Child who has had a stroke or stages 2 or 3 hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy of the newborn according to the Sarnat classification
      • Central neurological lesion, diagnosed on brain imaging.
    • Present an abnormal, non-transient clinical state: diagnosis of cerebral palsy made or in progress (GMFCS 1 to 5), central neurological syndrome, diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder.

    The parents must be able to participate in the 3 interviews (T1, T2 and T3).

  2. For the group of infants at high neurodevelopmental risk at hospital discharge, their child must meet the following two conditions:

    • Be between 34 weeks of amenorrhea (i.e., 1.5 months premature) and 12 months of corrected age at the time of the first focus group,
    • Have at least one risk factor putting them at high neurodevelopmental risk at birth:

      • Preterm infant ≤ 31 WG + 6 days
      • Birth weight less than 1500g
      • Child who has had a stroke or stages 2 or 3 hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy of the newborn according to the Sarnat classification

    The parents must be able to participate in the 3 interviews (T1, T2 and T3).

  3. Professionals and parent support groups:

WP2:

      • Child who has had a stroke or stages 2 or 3 hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy of the newborn according to the Sarnat classification
      • Central neurological lesion, diagnosed on brain imaging.
  2. Professionals:
