Family-Centered Developmental Care

摘要

The articles in this In Focus series highlight neonatal research pertaining to family-centered developmental care. Although family-centered developmental care is considered an essential aspect of the care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), in reality, providers are still trying to achieve this standard.

In each of the three articles in this section, the authors examine developmentally supportive care from different perspectives.
