What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Level of stress of the mothers

    Mean score of the mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in NICU on the PSS-NICU (Parental Stressor Scale NICU), measured once a week during all the last of their child's hospitalization in the unit, in the 2 groups.

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Level of stress of the fathers

    Mean score of the fathers of preterm infants hospitalized in NICU on the PSS-NICU, measured once a week during all the last of their child's hospitalization in the unit, in the 2 groups.

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month

  2. Parental stress evolution

    Evolution of the PSS-NICU score of both parents between the inclusion in the study and the last evaluation before their child's discharge of the NICU, in the 2 groups.

    Measured: From the date of inclusion until the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month

  3. Post-partum depression rate of the mothers

    Score of the mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in NICU on the EPDS (Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale), measured at the inclusion, at discharge and a month later, in the 2 groups.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 months

  4. Quality of the relationship between the parents and their child

    Mean score of both parents of preterm infants hospitalized in NICU on the PBQ (Post-partum Bonding Questionnaire), measured once a week during all the last of their child's hospitalization in the unit and a month after his discharge, in the 2 groups.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preterm Infants and Parent-Child Relations, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Level of stress of the mothers (time frame: From date of inclusion until the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2020.
