Staff perceptions and challenges of the single-family room design-Experience of a greenfield level4 neonatal intensive care unit in the Middle East.

The survey findings resulted in re-organisation of our staff numbers and communication systems and further facilitation of parent interactions in order to optimise benefits of SFR design.
