Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Mean length of stay of VLBWI	From the day the VLBWI admitted to the day VLBWI discharged, about two months.	The average length of stay of VLBWI in the intervention group minus the average length of stay of VLBWI in the control group

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Nurse compliance with NIDCAP evidence content	From the beginning of the NIDCAP intervention to the end of the NIDCAP intervention, about three months.	Members of the study core team will regularly check the NICU nurse's performance by using the checklist. The number of times the NICU nurse performed specified operations divided by the total number of inspections. The checklist includes: Whether bed units and equipments are placed in accordance with the requirements? Whether sound is controlled in the NICU? Whether the skin of VLBWI is taking good care of, etc. Points are awarded if the requirements are met. Higher scores indicate better nurse compliance.
