A guided feeding intervention for mothers of preterm infants: two case studies
1School of Nursing, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA. lfbrown2@vcu.edu
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to determine how mothers of preterm infants perceive the feasibility and acceptability of a guided feeding intervention.
Design And Methods:
In this multiple case study design, feasibility was assessed by retention of participants through all intervention sessions. Acceptability was assessed with a semi-structured interview.
Results:
Participants found the intervention useful for demonstrating and explaining behaviors that facilitate feeding, and helpful in dispelling previous, erroneous understandings about infant behaviors.
Practice Implications:
The results are encouraging. The intervention was found to be both feasible and acceptable. The effectiveness of this intervention needs to be assessed in a randomized controlled trial.
