Healthcare quality is usually evaluated through analysing medical outcomes including neonatal readmission and patient and family satisfaction. Parental involvement in neonatal care is considered as one of the most important factors, which directly affects these outcomes. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of family-centered care including maternal participation, presence, and information about neonatal care, on maternal satisfaction and neonatal readmission; the care services were provided by the primiparous mothers of preterm infants.
