Neonatal screening: Development and evaluation of a video as an informational resource for parents. Prospective single-center study in a level III maternity hospital - 06/12/25
, Karine Mention Mulliez, Thameur RakzaAbstract |
Background |
Neonatal screening, including biological assessments and hearing impairment evaluations, is offered to all newborns in France. It is essential to provide parents with adequate information to ensure informed consent; however, current efforts remain insufficient. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an informational video for parents regarding these screenings.
Materials and Methods |
The video, a two-minute animated presentation accessible on the in-room televisions, was developed by a multidisciplinary working group and assessed through a prospective survey, which involved distributing questionnaires to parents during their stay at the Jeanne de Flandre maternity ward of Lille University Hospital between October 2022 and October 2023.
Results |
A total of 417 parents participated. Their feedback on the video was positive, with 89.2 % feeling adequately informed about the screenings their newborns would undergo. Parents rated the format as appropriate (5.0 [4.0; 5.0] on a Likert scale of 1 to 5), the video as easy to understand (5.0 [4.0; 5.0]), and reassuring (4.0 [4.0; 5.0]).
Conclusion |
Informational videos are an effective and well-received method for educating parents about neonatal screening.
