It was estimated that 10.5% of infants in the United States admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in 2021 were preterm. Research suggests that when parents can spend more time in the NICU, it will lead to better clinical outcomes among preterm infants. Hospitality houses offer parents and families of hospitalized children low-cost or no-cost accommodations. With the proximity of parents to newborn infants in the NICU and other supports, hospitalized infants whose parents stay at hospitality houses, such as Ronald McDonald Houses (RMH), may experience improved clinical outcomes. This study aims to quantify the impact of the local chapter of the RMH on mothers with newborn infants at a NICU located in Rochester, NY. I conducted a cross-sectional chart review using a mother-infant dyad approach. The medical charts of neonates admitted to the NICU dated July 1, 2016, through December 31, 2019, were included for data collection. Analyses included t-tests for numerical values and chi-square tests for categorical variables. A regression analysis was performed to evaluate those factors found to be significant in the univariate analysis and determine if they maintained significance concerning the use of RMH services and facilities while exploring additional contributing factors. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the differences between the control and intervention groups did not support my hypotheses. The results of a neonate's length of stay (LOS) indicated that those in the intervention group had a longer LOS than the control group. Two documented determinants of better outcomes for preterm infants are weight gain and increased head circumference. Additionally, the results of a neonate's weight change and change in head circumference between birth and discharge showed that those in the intervention group experienced a smaller growth than those in the control group. While the results did not support my hypotheses, this study described a unique and understudied population. More research is needed to fully understand the impact hospitality houses, such as the RMH, have on the outcomes of neonates and whether they facilitate meeting parental needs. Additionally, further research on the mother-infant dyad and the proposed conceptual model is needed.
