Five-year project to examine parent presence and effects on infants
The National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD) has awarded a five-year, $3.2 million grant to two faculty researchers from The Ohio State University College of Nursing’s Martha S. Pitzer Center for Women, Children and Youth to study the effect of parent presence and caregiving for infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU).
As wounded victims came pouring into the civilian hospital in Kharkov after the Ukraine war began in February 2022, Artem Riga initially was the only surgeon on duty. Some colleagues were fleeing the country and others were delayed because of the intense shelling. Doctors had to ration food and medical supplies, performing surgery in body armor, with sandbags on the windowsills of the operating room. A sudden attack significantly damaged his hospital and left patients covered in broken glass and other debris. Amid this chaos, Riga had to teach patients to care for their own wounds.
