Objective To study the effects of family integrated care ( FIcare ) in the neonatal intensive care unit ( NICU) on preterm infants and their mothers′physical and mental health.Method From Jan 2016 to Dec 2016, preterm infants(birth weight 1000~2000 g;gestational age 26~34 weeks stabilized in NICU were randomly assigned into two groups:FIcare group and control group .The incidences of major diseases in infants , their mothers′depression score and anxiety score were studied .Result A total of 40 infants were assigned into two groups respectively .No significant differences existed between the two groups in gender , gestational age , brith weight , age, breastfeeding rate and their mothers′depression score and anxiety score (P>0.05).At discharge, the breastfeeding rate (90.0%vs.52.5%) and weight gain [(2258 ±112) g vs.(2105 ±103) g] of the FIcare group were significantly higher than the control group, and the hospital stay duration [(42.0 ±15.7) d vs.(43.5 ±14.3) d], hospitalization expenses [(40,000 ±18,000) RMB vs.(44,000 ±19,000) RMB], oxygen therapy duration [(10.4 ±5.7) d vs. (11.7 ±7.9) d], CPAP duration [(7.2 ±4.3) d vs.(8.1 ±5.0) d], mothers′depression score [(48.7 ±3.0) vs.(57.6 ±2.7)] and anxiety score [(49.4 ±1.1) vs.(61.1 ±1.9)]of the FIcare group were significantly lower than the control group ( P <0.05 ) . Conclusion Family-integrated care is beneficial for the recovery of preterm infants and their mother′s physical and mental health .

Objective To investigate the effects of bundle care on feeding intolerance in premature infants. Methods A total of 80 premature infants admitted to the neonatal department of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Changzhou from August 2017 to February 2018 were recruited. The study subjects were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The two groups of premature infants were treated with bundle care and routine nursing respectively. The effects of the two regimens on the occurrence of feeding intolerance, growth and development indicators of premature infants from birth to 14 days were compared. Results After the intervention, The incidence of feeding intolerance of preterm infants in the experimental group was less than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Compared with the control group, the growth of body weight, head circumference and length of preterm infants in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions The bundle care can effectively reduce the occurrence of feeding intolerance of premature infants, improve the feeding quality of premature infants, and provide theoretical basis for improving feeding intolerance of premature infants, which can be applied in clinic.
