Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth technologies have become critical to providing family and patient-centered care. Little is known about the impact of these technologies on parent stress levels in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We sought to determine the impact of bedside web cameras on stress levels of parents in the NICU in order to work toward interventions that might improve family-centered care. A validated survey, the Parental Stress Scale NICU, was administered to parents of babies admitted to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Neonatal/Infant Intensive Care Unit on days 7 to 10 of hospitalization. Parents were also asked if they used the available AngelEye Camera while their baby was hospitalized. Stress levels were analyzed for associations with the use of the bedside cameras. Parents who reported using the bedside camera also reported lower levels of stress relating to being separated from their babies. Bedside web camera interventions may hold potential for reducing parent stress related to separation from their babies, especially in the setting of a global pandemic.
自新冠疫情爆发以来，远程医疗技术对于提供以家庭和患者为中心的护理变得至关重要。关于这些技术对新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）中父母压力水平的影响，我们所知甚少。我们试图确定床边网络摄像头对NICU中父母压力水平的影响，以便朝着可能改善以家庭为中心护理的干预措施努力。在住院第7至10天，对入住费城儿童医院新生儿/婴儿重症监护病房的婴儿的父母进行了一项经过验证的调查，即《新生儿重症监护病房父母压力量表》。还询问了父母在其婴儿住院期间是否使用了可用的安吉尔眼摄像头。分析了压力水平与床边摄像头使用情况之间的关联。报告使用床边摄像头的父母也报告说，与与婴儿分离相关的压力水平较低。床边网络摄像头干预措施可能具有降低父母与婴儿分离相关压力的潜力，尤其是在全球大流行的背景下。
