- In Sweden 400 children yearly are born extremely preterm (EPT; more than three months early). These children have an increased risk of later academic difficulties, neuropsychiatric disorder, cognitive and mental health issues. Since the first 1000 days of the brain development are so crucial for later development, the interdisciplinary Stockholm Preterm Interaction-Based Intervention (SPIBI) aims at strengthening the parent-child interaction, child development and parental mental health. The research is based on pedagogical, motor-developmental, medical and psychological science. The program is based on Vygotski’s theory of the zone of proximal development, as well theoretical frameworks of early intervention (Guralnick; Shonkoff). Additionally, Als’ synactive theory of understanding premature infant communication and needs, Bowlby’s attachment theory, and Emde’s emotional availability theory have been applied. SPIBI is an ongoing research project funded by Stockholm-County-Stockholm-University joint-collaboration grant 20160881. It is an RCT targeting 130 EPT infants and their parents in Stockholm with a 3-year inclusion period starting September 2018. The intervention consists of ten home-visits during the first year by trained interventionists, supporting the next developmental step of the child through a scaffolding process, strengthening parental sensitivity to infant cues, and promoting infant’s self-regulation. SPIBI has recruited and trained six multi-professional-NICU-experienced interventionists. Control group participants receive TAU plus an extended follow-up program.The overall aim is to present the framework and theory of change of SPIBI, relating to research findings, welfare policies and recommendations for infant’s “chain of care”. So far, sixty eligible infants have been identified within four neonatal units; of which 48 approved participation. The primary outcome is emotional availability of the parent and child, where we hypothesize that the intervention will affect the parental sensitivity and structure of interaction with the child. Secondary outcomes concern child development, i.e. motor development, cognition and occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms, parental mental health, anxiety and self-efficacy, where we also hypothesize positive effects of the intervention. Since Nordic countries have neonatal intensive care of high quality, the amount of EPT survivors is high compared to other countries; therefore, the educational systems must follow achievements reached by health care system and develop new evidence-based interventions in early childhood education, which are appropriated for EPT born children and their parents, following recent European Standards of Care for Newborn Health (2018).Insights from neuro-cognition, early intervention and educational research has shown the importance of interdisciplinary interventions, and this should be spread around the Nordic countries.Nordic countries offer a unique social environment, with governmental funded parental-leave, enabling early-interventions delivered by parents.The EPT children in Nordic countries are less affected by socioeconomic factors, as is often the case where maternity welfare and obstetrics is not publically financed. Hence, Nordic countries have a unique opportunity to perform research targeting EPT students and their parents specifically, with less confounding factors.Some Nordic countries have adopted policies concerning home-visiting support and infants’ rights, as recommended by the World Association of Mental health’s policy statement from 2016, and Nordic knowledge exchange and collaboration on these policies is warranted.
