Summary

The goal of this randomized prospective interventional study is to determine if serial bedside video calls w/audio feature to NICU parents in addition to the routine phone and/or bedside updates can reduce parental stress level. The main question it aims to answer is if the impact of audio-visual calls to nicu parents can improve parent-infant relationship in the form of reduced parental anxiety/stress level.

Participants will be parents of infants admitted to NICU for more than seven (7) days.

Parents in Group A will receive serial video call communication, 2-3 days a week in addition to the daily phone and/or bedside updates.

Parents in Group B will receive daily phone and/or bedside updates per our NICU routine.

Parents will complete a series of questionnaires (PSS-NICU, STAI Y-1 \& 2 and MSPSS) at 3 designated periods during an 8-week time frame.

Researchers will compare Group A (intervention group) and Group B (control group) to see if there is any difference in the stress levels in relation to the intervention (serial video calls) at the end of the study time frame.
