Research Surveys
National Nursing Survey of Parental Holding Practices in NICUs in the United States
Principal Investigator: Brian Scottoline, MD, PhD.
Study Description: The proposed project is a provider survey on parental holding practices in neonatal intensive care units. We seek to explore what parental holding practices are in NICUs across the US, if parental holding is allowed with various medical supports/interventions, who determines if holding is allowed and if there is a protocol or guideline for this.
