It is unclear whether the atypical language development commonly seen in preterm infants is a consequence of language deficiency experienced during their prolonged NICU stay. This review provides a novel viewpoint, which highlights the potential impact of the NICU design on the developmental origin of language disabilities in preterm infants.
Further research is needed to identify evidence-based design solutions for providing preterm infants with a healthier linguistic hospital environment that aids growth and development.
早产儿常见的非典型语言发育情况是否是由于他们在 NICU 长时间停留期间经历的语言缺陷所致,目前尚不清楚。本综述提供了一个新的观点,强调了 NICU 设计对早产儿语言障碍发育起源的潜在影响。
需要进一步研究,以确定基于证据的设计解决方案,为早产儿提供更健康的语言医院环境,促进其生长和发育。
