Applying the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the implementation of the Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences (SENSE) program

Table 7 Descriptives of auditory exposures on the LENA across the SENSE group and standard-of-care group

	Standard-of-care group (n = 23)	SENSE group (n = 35)	Mean Difference	95% Confidence Internal of the Difference	p value^*
	Mean (h:min) ± SD	Mean (h:min) ± SD	(h:min)	(h:min)
Amount of time spent with meaningful language	0:16 ± 0:16	0:31 ± 0:27	−0:14	[−0:26, −0:03]	.013
Amount of time spent with distant language	0:44 ± 0:37	0:58 ± 1:03	−0:13	[− 0:40, 0:12]	.307
Amount of time spent with TV/electronic sounds	2:01 ± 2:09	2:44 ± 2:58	− 0:42	[−2:03, 0:38]	.294
Amount of time spent with noise	4:21 ± 5:00	2:39 ± 3:39	1:41	[1:12, −0:45]	.170
Amount of time spent in silence	8:35 ± 4:33	9:06 ± 3:46	−0:30	[1:08, −2:49]	.660
Number of spoken words around the infant	2919 ± 3726	3613 ± 4438	−694	[− 2876, 1487]	.526

*p value is from investigating differences across the SENSE and standard-of-care groups using independent samples t-tests after log transformation of LENA outcome measures. Bold values are those that reached significance (p < 0.05), indicating a difference in the standard-of-care and SENSE groups
