Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the impact of the early and structured intervention protocol on the global development of preterm infants at six months of corrected age for prematurity, verified by the assessment of neuromotor development, based on standardized instruments, at the beginning and end of each of the study stages and at six months of corrected age for prematurity, in order to compare the results of the experimental group with the control group.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To verify the impact of parental guided participation in the interaction between the main caregiver and the premature baby, through the quantification of the bond through the behavioral analysis in the execution of the dyad task, changing diapers, at six months of corrected age of the premature infant.
