The Effects of a Caregiver-initiated Reading Intervention to Their Infant in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a caregiver-initiated reading intervention to their infant, in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), on the caregiver-infant dyad, both during hospitalization and following discharge. The specific aims are:
Aim 1: To evaluate the primary outcome of infant physiological response, including heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, when read by their caregiver. Infant heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturations (SpO2) will be measured 15 minutes prior to the intervention, at start of the intervention, 2 minutes into the intervention, and 15 minutes after the intervention is completed. Outcomes will be compared to those of a control group.
Aim 2: To explore the secondary outcome of the intervention effect on maternal mental health, as measured by changes in postpartum depression (PPD) scores.

大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Infant heart rate
大体时间：Baseline (at start of the intervention), 2 minutes into the intervention
|
Heart rate, will be abstracted from medical record review.
Heart rate will be measured by the number of beats the infant's heart has per minute.
|
Baseline (at start of the intervention), 2 minutes into the intervention
|
|
Change in Infant heart rate
大体时间：Baseline (at start of the intervention),15 minutes after the intervention
|
Heart rate, will be abstracted from medical record review.
Heart rate will be measured by the number of beats the infant's heart has per minute.
|
Baseline (at start of the intervention),15 minutes after the intervention
|
|
Change in Infant Respiratory rate
大体时间：Baseline (at start of the intervention), 2 minutes into the intervention
|
Respiratory rate will be abstracted from medical record review.
Respiratory rate will be measured by the number of breaths an infant takes per minute.
|
Baseline (at start of the intervention), 2 minutes into the intervention
|
|
Change in Infant Respiratory rate
大体时间：Baseline (at start of the intervention), 15 minutes after the intervention
|
Respiratory rate will be abstracted from medical record review.
Respiratory rate will be measured by the number of breaths an infant takes per minute.
|
Baseline (at start of the intervention), 15 minutes after the intervention
|
|
Change in Infant Oxygen saturation level
大体时间：Baseline (at start of the intervention), 2 minutes into the intervention
