Description
Summary:Clustered care has been recommended as one of the essential developmental care interventions for promoting sleep in preterm infants, which can improve the neurodevelopment of the preterm infant during the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization period.1 Clustered care means clustering or grouping several nursing care procedures performed together instead of spacing them out over time.
