This thesis explores the effects of a basic form of developmental care (the use of incubator covers and nests) and the more extended Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) on health related quality of life and behavior of very preterm infants. The effects on parents' stress and their experiences with developmental care are also explored. This thesis furthermore evaluates the attitudes and experiences of the personnel at a Dutch neonatal intensive care unit with the NIDCAP program.
