Summary of Evaluation Findings
The impact of these programs on the users was evaluated in a rigorous clinical trial. The evaluation examined three research questions:
- Whether the DVD for parents would significantly increase knowledge and confidence and reduce stress levels of parents of newborns in the NICU when compared to parents receiving the usual education and support;
- Whether the DVD for NICU staff would significantly increase nurses’ knowledge of, and positively influence their attitudes about, preterm infant brain development;
- Whether the programs would positively influence the environment of care in the NICU such that there is an overall trend toward developmentally supportive care.

"...the series skillfully conveys the message that all inhabitants of the NICU have the potential to influence the comfort and well-being of fragile infants. This content challenges each NICU to assess the extent to which they have integrated 'family-centeredness' into their philosophy of care, strongly supporting both the parents need to participate in the care of their infant and the benefits for the family."
