Abstract
Introduction: Background: Technological innovation is increasingly recognized as a key driver in enhancing neonatal care, particularly for preterm infants. Understanding the impact of modern technologies on healthcare outcomes is crucial for optimizing clinical practice and improving the quality of patient care. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between modern technological innovations and the quality of care provided to premature infants in neonatal units. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 pediatricians in the eastern region of Amman, selected using purposive sampling due to institutional access constraints. Data were collected via an electronic questionnaire between July 8 and September 18. The sample comprised 12 consultants, 18 specialists, and 30 residents. The questionnaire’s reliability and validity were confirmed, and data cleaning procedures were implemented prior to statistical analysis. Results: The hypothesis that there is no relationship between modern technologies and premature infant care quality was tested using Pearson correlation analysis. Results revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.979, p < 0.05) between the use of modern technologies and the quality of care provided to preterm infants. This finding indicates that technological innovation has a significant positive impact on healthcare outcomes, supporting the role of innovation as a structural driver of improved neonatal care. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the integration of modern technologies in neonatal care is strongly associated with improved outcomes for premature infants. These results underscore the importance of incorporating innovative tools and systems into clinical practice to enhance care quality. However, the implementation of such technologies requires adequate financial and human resources, highlighting challenges faced in resource-limited healthcare settings.
