Meta description: This report reviews a not yet recruiting trial comparing short film based education and video based education with routine care for parents of preterm infants in the NICU to address parental stress, care participation and satisfaction.
This article is dated February 15, 2026 and is intended for clinical teams, quality assurance and regulatory professionals tracking family centered care programs in neonatal intensive care units.
What changed in the NICU education approach for parents of preterm infants?
The study compares two education modalities against routine care. The interventions are behavioral: short film based education and video based education, alongside routine care. The trial status is not yet recruiting and involves sponsors Mersin University and Tarsus University. The record is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT07410923.
Why this matters for families and NICU teams?
Parental stress, care participation and satisfaction are core indicators of family centered care in the NICU. If education delivery affects how parents engage with care during a preterm infant stay, programs may shift toward one modality. Regulators may use findings to inform guidelines for non pharmacologic education tools and the evaluation of related digital solutions within neonatal peri care. Statements here reflect trial records and are not endorsements by manufacturers.
How do the education methods compare?
The trial examines short film based education and video based education as alternatives to routine care. It will assess parental stress, care participation and parental satisfaction to determine if one method offers advantages for families during the NICU stay. Results could guide program design for NICU orientation and parent engagement initiatives.
What are the regulatory implications for practice?
Even when the interventions are educational in nature and not medicines or devices, regulators require clear statements on intended purpose and safety. Outcomes from this study may support development of guidelines for NICU parent education and could influence future device or software tools used to deliver education, subject to regulatory review. Manufacturer statements are not part of this report.

Conclusion and implications for practice
In summary the study design compares two educational modalities against routine care for families in the NICU. If results show benefits in stress reduction or higher participation and satisfaction organizations may incorporate one modality into standard orientation. Regulators may use the data to shape guidance on family centered neonatal education and related digital tools.
