The Effect of Short Film and Video-Based Education on the Intensive Care Unit Introduction for Parents of Premature Infants on Stress, Care Participation, and Satisfaction Levels
Turkey (Türkiye)72 participantsStarted 2026-02-14
Plain-language summary
The primary objective of this single-center, parallel-group, randomized controlled experimental study is to evaluate the effect of short film and video-based education on the intensive care unit orientation provided to parents of premature infants, specifically assessing its impact on stress levels as the primary outcome and satisfaction and level of involvement in care as secondary outcomes. Using the block randomization method, 72 parents will be assigned to three different groups ("Routine Care" n=24, "Routine Care + Short Film-based Education" n=24, "Routine Care + Video-based Education" n=24).
Research Hypotheses:
Primary Hypothesis:
H1/1: There is a difference between the mean stress scores of parents by group.
Secondary Hypotheses:
H1/2: There is a difference between the mean scores of parents' participation in care according to groups.
H1/3: There is a difference between the mean scores of parents' satisfaction according to groups.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
