Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Caregiver Behavior Checklists (NICU-CBC)

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Caregiver Behavior Checklist (NICU-CBC) is designed to record the application of developmentally supportive care (DSC) practices by NICU personnel during routine care interaction as a measure of fidelity and quality improvement. The NICU-CBC includes individual sets of Checklists representing five core measures of DSC: (1) protective sleep; (2) activities of daily living; (3) pain and stress; (4) healing environment; and (5) family-centered care. The Activities of Daily Living and Healing Environment core measures include multiple subsets of checklists. Checklists are listed in Table 1
