The Effect of Short Film and Video-Based Education on the Intensive Care Unit Introduction for Parents of Premature Infants on Stress, Care Participation, and Satisfaction Levels
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this single-center, parallel-group, randomized controlled experimental study is to evaluate the effect of short film and video-based education on the intensive care unit orientation provided to parents of premature infants, specifically assessing its impact on stress levels as the primary outcome and satisfaction and level of involvement in care as secondary outcomes. Using the block randomization method, 72 parents will be assigned to three different groups ("Routine Care" n=24, "Routine Care + Short Film-based Education" n=24, "Routine Care + Video-based Education" n=24). Research Hypotheses: Primary Hypothesis: H1/1: There is a difference between the mean stress scores of parents by group. Secondary Hypotheses: H1/2: There is a difference between the mean scores of parents' participation in care according to groups. H1/3: There is a difference between the mean scores of parents' satisfaction according to groups.
