    A new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sibling program educates and involves siblings, strengthening family bonds during infant hospitalization. High satisfaction reported by children and parents indicates a promising approach to family-centered care in the NICU.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Pediatrics
    • Family Studies

    Background:

    • Limited sibling programs exist for infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
    • Nurses recognize the need for sibling visitation and education in maternity settings.
    • Family-centered care models increasingly emphasize the importance of all family members.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a model neonatal intensive care unit sibling education and visitation program.
    • To strengthen family functioning and bonding by involving siblings in the NICU experience.
    • To provide a framework for implementing similar programs in other NICUs.

    Main Methods:

    • A 60-bed NICU implemented a nursing-designed sibling education and visitation program.
    • The program involved children aged three to eight years old.

  • Data collection likely involved satisfaction surveys from children and parents.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 100 children have attended the program since its inception.
    • Both participating children and their parents reported high levels of satisfaction.
    • The program successfully involved siblings in the hospitalization experience.

    Conclusions:

    • The NICU sibling program demonstrates a high level of satisfaction among participants.
    • Further nursing research is needed to establish the effectiveness of NICU sibling education programs.
    • This model program offers a valuable approach to family-centered care for infants in the NICU.
