- Aim To explore mothers experiences of the EArly Collaborative Intervention. Background Preterm birth puts a considerable emotional and psychological burden on parents and families. Parents to moderate and late premature infants have shorter stays at the neonatal intensive care unit and have described a need for support. The EArly Collaborative Intervention was developed to support parents with preterm infants born between gestational Weeks 30 to 36. In this study, mothers experiences of the new intervention were explored. Design A qualitative design guided by a reflexive thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke. Interviews were individually performed with 23 mothers experienced with the EArly Collaborative Intervention. Data were identified, analysed and reported using reflexive thematic analysis. The COREQ checklist was used preparing the manuscript. Results Two main overarching themes were constructed. The first theme, mothers feelings evoked from the EArly Collaborative Intervention describes the emotions raised by the intervention and how the intervention affected their parental role. Their awareness of the preterm babys behaviour increased, and the intervention helped the parents to communicate around their babys needs. The second theme, based on the preterm babys behavior, describes experiences of the provision and the learning process about their preterm babys needs and communication. The intervention was experienced as helpful both immediately and for future interaction with the baby. Conclusions Mothers found the intervention to be supportive and encouraging. They came to look upon their baby as an individual, and the new knowledge on how to care and interact with their baby affected both their own and their babys well-being. Furthermore, the intervention felt strengthening for their relationship with the other parent. Relevance to Clinical Practice The EArly Collaborative Intervention can support parents abilities as well as their relation to their baby and may thereby contribute to infant development, cognition and well-being.
