What: Participate in a short research study
Who: Mothers who delivered a premature infant between 4-6 weeks early (34¬-36 weeks of gestation) within the last 6 months and are at least 18 years old and read English.
When: Easy to complete in 25-30 minutes online. Survey closes 11/01/2018
Infants born between 34-36 weeks gestation are called late preterm infants (LPIs). Some think that LPIs are “the great impostor” because they look like a normal newborn but being born early is different from being born at term. LPIs are considered a premature infant yet no standardized discharge protocol is available to determine when the mother and infant are ready for discharge.
This research study will examine perceptions of readiness for discharge in mothers of late preterm infants. The research involves a survey asking questions about the mother's perceptions about her birth experience and what she feels are important resources and support needed to feel ready to discharge to home with her new premature infant. If you are interested in participating, please complete the survey at

A $10.00 egift card will be sent to your email address after completing the full survey.

My name is Marteen and I am a nurse researcher from the University of Arizona, College of
Nursing. I am interested in studying what the experience of mothers who give birth to a live infant between 34-36 weeks gestation and your perceptions about readiness for discharge with your premature infant to home. The survey is intended for Late Preterm Infant mothers, over the age of 18, who have experienced a Late Preterm birth 34(0/7)-36(6/7) to voluntarily participate in the above titled research study.
If you agree to participate, the study will involve completing the survey questions. You may experience emotional distress if the birth was a bad experience or if your newborn had a bad outcome. If you experience distress, please contact me and I will refer you to the appropriate resources that may help. Your participation is voluntary. The survey should take about 10-60 minutes to complete. Your name will not be collected. No direct benefits can be attributed to your participation.
Completion of the survey is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. Information collected is anonymous. You can choose not to answer a question, however it is most helpful if you complete the whole thing. The questions ask you about what the premature birth of your child has meant to you, what coping strategies were or were not helpful, and how you adapted to the experience. You can share whatever you feel is important for me to know and the survey information will be kept confidential.
My goal of this study is to help find better ways to assist families who have endured premature birth, and I would really appreciate your help!
Please contact me if you are interested. I would like the opportunity to discuss the study and
answer any questions you may have.
The first 130 participants will receive upon completion of the survey a $10.00 egift card sent to your email that you provided for the survey.
