description Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of family integrated care (FICare) on the prognosis of children hospitalized with preterm infants. Methods Two hundred thirty preterm infants admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled in a prospective randomized study and divided into 115 cases in the intervention group and 115 cases in the control group according to the random number table method, and given the FICare and the conventional care, respectively. The duration of nasogastric tube retention, time to achieve total enteral nutrition, rate of weight gain, exclusive breastfeeding rate, length of hospital stay, growth and development, readmission rate, parental self-efficacy, family functioning and complications related to prematurity were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the intervention group had shorter nasogastric tube retention time, shorter time to achieve total enteral nutrition, higher exclusive breastfeeding rate, shorter time of hospital stay and better growth rate. Before the intervention, there was no difference in parental self-efficacy and family functioning between the two groups; after the intervention, the intervention group had higher parental self-efficacy and higher ratings of family functioning, and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the control group, the intervention group had a lower readmission rate and significantly lower incidence of infection and choking. Conclusion The FICare can shorten the time of nasogastric tube retention, shorten time to achieve total enteral nutrition and hospital stay, increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding and the rate of weight gain, finally improve the prognosis of preterm infants and have a positive effect on parents.
