Objectives: This pilot study was conducted to identify whether the belief about FCC promoted sound management for preterm infants.
Methods: Seventy-three neonatal nurses (52.1% response rate) answered self-reported questionnaires about their personal background and current care relating to sound for preterm infants, and the Measure of Beliefs About Participation in Family-centered Service (a scale developed in Canada). The ethical review board at Kobe University approved the study.
Results: Most novice nurses, who were not familiar with the concept of FCC, did not have enough knowledge about an appropriate sound environment for preterm infants or enough experience of nursing practice to manage the sound environment, although they took care of neonates. On the other hand, experts who provided individual care to control stress by sound based on neonates’ development valued FCC. They advanced not only routine work such as vital signs, tubing, and emotional support for the families but also knowledge about FCC and the management of the sound environment.
Conclusions: FCC is one of the most important care concepts in neonatal nursing worldwide. However, it may be unknown to novice nurses in Japan. It is possible the earlier the novice nurses understand the concept of FCC, the more individual care they can provide in various care scenes. We suggest that novice nurses have an earlier opportunity to learn and shadow practical care based on FCC.
