The University of Sydney therefore requests nurses and doctors to participate in this global, ethically approved research study. This will provide a great opportunity for increasing knowledge and improving skin management practices for extremely preterm babies.

To participate, a nurse or doctor, the one who is most familiar with the respective unit skin care practices/guidelines, completes this short survey. The participation is voluntary with all information confidential and non-identifiable, stored on the REDCap server located at The University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The survey can be accessed by clicking the link https://redcap.sydney.edu.au/surveys/?s=4793XPE337 by clicking “yes” you are consenting to participate.
