Scientific titleParents' perceptions of nursing care during back transport of the newborn infant from University Hospital Intensive Care to Community Hospital Care: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesIt is hypothesised that if parents are offered web-based video communication with the community hospital staff as preparation before neonatal back transport from intensive care to community hospital care, parentsÂ’ satisfaction with information and nursing care will increase.
Ethics approval(s)Regional Ethics Board at Umea University, February 2008, ref: Dnr 08-017
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNurse-parent communication in connection with neonatal back transport
InterventionThe intervention will consist of video-talks where the parents and the primary nurse at the community hospital will take part, before back transport from neonatal intensive care. The content of the talk will be information on care routines and the setting where the infant and the family will be cared for after the transfer. The parents will have the opportunity to ask anything and have a free conversation with the primary nurse. Each participant will receive at least one video talk with a duration of 15 minutes.

The control group will not receive any video talks.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureA questionnaire will be distributed to the parents at discharge from the community hospital.

Outcomes that will be recorded: (graded on Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]) concerning parents' perception on:
1. Treatment (nursing care at the community hospital)
2. Quality of information
3. Psychological preparation before transport
Secondary outcome measuresThe following will be assessed within the survey parents receive at discharge:
1. Consistent infant-feeding routines at the two hospitals
2. Consistent information on the back transport
