Summary

Maternal presence in the NICU during an infant's hospitalization is critical for the infant's medical recovery and overall neurodevelopmental trajectory. However, despite the importance of maternal presence in these settings, the current literature shows that families are often absent at bedside. To date, no behavioral interventions have been conducted to promote increased maternal visitation patterns in NICU settings. This project will aim to fill this gap in the literature by conducting a pilot study that uses a motivational interviewing intervention with the aim of increasing maternal visitation rates to a level IV NICU.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a person-centered, goal-oriented psychotherapeutic intervention designed to enhance the recipient's motivation for and commitment to a target behavior or behavior change. MI's core action mechanisms include strengthening the recipient's change talk (e.g., assertions about desire and commitment toward the target behavior) and softening the recipient's sustain talk (e.g., statements about barriers). MI clinicians achieve these goals using specific micro-skills (e.g., reflective listening) that reflect MI's fundamental spirits (i.e. collaboration, acceptance, compassion, evocation.
