As part of the jENS conference, come to the Hyatt Regency Belgrade to find out how the RISEinFAMILY project has contributed to the widespread adoption of FICare across three continents.
We will present our data and that of similar experiences in other settings and discuss the advantages and barriers to implementation.

About us
The RISEinFamily project
The project gathers an international, interdisciplinar and intersectoral network of organizations working on a joint research programme for the improvement of parents and high-risk neonates health quality and humanization of care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
The core of the project is scaling up and implementing the Family Integrated Care (FICare) model (O’Brien et al., 2018) at a broad social- and cultural contexts. The proof-of-principle lies on the healing power of parent-child relationship by letting parents be parents even when in NICU.
This means that the family will get the control of the upbringing of their child, both from the emotional dimension and from the operational point of view.
The expansion of FICare model requires further research to understand the barriers and facilitators that may constrain its adoption, especially in low and middle countries with very different sociocultural contexts.
