Resilient Families Feasibility Trial

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parents

In brief

The goal of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a dyadic, resiliency intervention ("Resilient Families;" R-FAM) that aims to reduce emotional distress and improve relationships among parents in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). To achieve this goal, the investigators are developing a randomized control trial where patients will be randomized to either the R-FAM condition or a minimally enhanced usual control (MEUC), which includes resources on parent mental health and coping in the NICU.
