Decrease Stress and Increase Knowledge for Antepartum & NICU Mothers

Rebecca South
Founder and Executive Director of Families Bridge to Caring Hands

During this presentation, you will learn about an innovative, nurse-driven Families Bridge portal program that was developed by Rebecca South, Founder, and Executive Director, for families facing an impending neonatal ICU admission to reduce the experience of stress, fear, and anxiety.

The Families Bridge portal, along with in-person support by a nurse navigator, allows families to view evidence-based education in a timely manner, while also incorporating personal guidance through the navigator.

Mothers with access to this program demonstrated increased knowledge and decreased stress when compared with mothers who did not have access to the program. Further investigation will look into the impact on infant length of stay, parent engagement, and feelings of support.

This webinar was presented in partnership with Families Bridge to Caring Hands, a  non-profit organization dedicated to improving the experience of NICU families prior to admission by creating meaningful connections with the NICU care team and providing evidence-based education.
