This study aims to evaluate whether a structured nursing guidance program that increases fathers' participation in the care of hospitalized high-risk newborns improves maternal outcomes compared with routine nursing care.
Parents of high-risk newborns admitted to a neonatal intermediate care unit will be enrolled. Families in the control group will receive routine nursing education provided during hospitalization. Families in the intervention group will receive a structured nursing guidance program that includes step-by-step parent education, written educational materials, instructional videos, and active father participation in breastfeeding support and infant care.
The study will compare the two groups on maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, perceived spousal support, perceived nursing support, parental stress, breastfeeding-related anxiety, and breastfeeding practices at hospital discharge and one month after discharge. The findings may help develop family-centered nursing interventions that enhance paternal involvement and improve breastfeeding outcomes for families with high-risk newborns.
Inclusion Criteria:
Families assigned to the intervention group will receive a structured nursing guidance program designed to improve parents' knowledge, skills, and confidence in breastfeeding and infant care. The program will include step-by-step parent education, written educational materials, instructional videos, and active father participation in breastfeeding support and infant care. Fathers will be encouraged to provide practical, emotional, and informational support to mothers throughout the breastfeeding process.
Behavioral: step-by-step parent education · Behavioral: active father participation in breastfeeding support
Parents will receive structured, step-by-step education on breastfeeding and infant care. The education will be provided through nursing guidance, written educational materials, and instructional videos to facilitate parents' understanding and application of recommended breastfeeding and infant-care practices.
Fathers will be actively involved in the breastfeeding process and infant care. They will be encouraged to provide practical, emotional, and informational support to mothers, thereby helping mothers establish and maintain breastfeeding and share responsibilities for infant care.
Maternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Score measured by the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF)
Maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy will be assessed using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), a 14-item self-report questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (not at all confident) to 5 (always confident). Total scores range from 14 to 70, with higher scores indicating greater maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Time frame: At the baseline, pre-intervention, and 1 month after hospital discharge.
Maternal Perceived Spousal Support Score measured by the Spousal Parenting Support Scale
Maternal perceived spousal support will be assessed using the Spousal Parenting Support Scale (maternal version), a 22-item questionnaire assessing the mother's perception of her spouse's support in parenting and caregiving. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Total scores range from 22 to 110, with higher scores indicating greater perceived spousal support.
Time frame: At the baseline, pre-intervention, and 1 month after hospital discharge.
Maternal Perceived Nursing Staff Support Score measured by the Nursing Staff Support Scale
Maternal perceived nursing staff support will be assessed using the Nursing Staff Support Scale, a 21-item questionnaire assessing the support provided by nursing staff during the infant's hospitalization. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Total scores range from 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating greater perceived nursing staff support.
Time frame: At thebaseline, pre-intervention.
Maternal Perceived Stress Score measured by the Perceived Stress Scale
Maternal perceived stress will be assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), a 10-item self-report questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). Total scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater perceived stress.
Time frame: At thebaseline, pre-intervention, and 1 month after hospital discharge.
Started Aug 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2027, 12 months after the start.
Of 744 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Premature Birth, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 47. This study's planned 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 762 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 47.
