Introduction: Parent educational materials describing infant positioning for a home program are vital in supplementing NICU discharge instructions and promoting parent confidence.
Purpose: To document the process of developing a brochure and DVD of a positioning program,
using evidence-based practice and NICU expert feedback
Methods: A trifold brochure and companion DVD were developed to demonstrate infant positioning to parents of premature infants for a home developmental program following NICU discharge. A standard process of development was
followed for the brochure and DVD script and production. The process included review and comment by eight NICU professionals and several revisions.
Results: Content of the brochure and DVD and the process entailed in their development is described. Guidelines outlining the process
for development of educational materials for families are provided.
Conclusion: Creation of multimedia educational materials for parents of infants who are NICU graduates requires a multistep process to ensure usefulness and validity.",
