Erika Zettby is a postdoctoral researcher at Linköping University, specializing in pediatric neurocognition with a focus on extremely preterm infants. Her research involves investigating the effects of premature birth on child development and the challenges faced by families during the transition home after hospitalization. Through her dissertation project, she analyzed the implementation of a multidisciplinary early intervention program designed to support families of infants born extremely preterm. This program, called the Stockholm Preterm Interaction-Based Intervention (SPIBI), comprised ten home visits in a year, emphasizing positive interactions between parents and their children to foster long-term development. Zettby aims to replicate this early intervention program and enhance teachers' understanding of the special needs of prematurely born students. Her work contributes significantly to the field of developmental psychology and pediatric care, particularly in relation to the dynamics affecting families post-discharge from neonatal intensive care.
