    The study introduced a novel integrated family-centered care (NIFCC) model to enhance discharge outcomes for very preterm infants.

  • 2

    NIFCC combines daytime family-integrated care, bedside rehabilitation, and nighttime professional NICU care.

  • 3

    Results showed NIFCC significantly improved oxygen independence, full oral feeding rates, and Neonatal Behavioral Observation scores.

  • 4

    No significant differences were found in preterm complications, hospital stay, or costs between NIFCC and traditional care.

  • 5

    The NIFCC model addresses limitations of traditional family-centered care by enhancing parental involvement and integrating rehabilitation.
