Abstract

Purpose

The study was conducted to examine the effects of mother–baby yoga applied to infants discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and their mothers on mothers' depression, anxiety, stress levels, perceptions of fragile infants, and mother–infant attachment.

Design and methods

This study was conducted as an interventional randomized controlled trial, with a mother–baby yoga group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). Mothers and infants were assigned to groups using the block randomization method.

Results

After ten sessions, mothers in the yoga group had significantly lower scores on the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale and the Fragile Infant Perception Scale (p < .05), and higher scores on the Maternal Attachment Scale (p < .05), compared to the control group.

Conclusion

Mother–baby yoga effectively reduces maternal depression, anxiety, and stress levels, lowers perceptions of infant fragility, and improves maternal attachment in mothers of preterm infants.

Implications for Practice

Pediatric nurses should consider mother–baby yoga as a supportive practice in the post-discharge care of preterm infants to promote maternal mental well-being and strengthen early bonding

母婴瑜伽对母亲抑郁-焦虑-压力水平、对脆弱婴儿的感知和母亲关系的影响：一项随机对照试验

目的本研究旨在探讨母婴瑜伽对新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）出院婴儿及其母亲的抑郁、焦虑、压力水平、对脆弱婴儿的感知以及母婴依恋的影响。设计与方法本研究采用干预性随机对照试验，分为母婴瑜伽组（n = 20）和对照组（n = 20）。采用分组随机方法将母亲和婴儿分组。结果在10个课程后，瑜伽组的母亲在抑郁、焦虑和压力量表和脆弱婴儿感知量表上的得分显著降低(p <；.05)，母亲依恋量表得分较高(p <；0.05)，与对照组相比。结论母婴瑜伽能有效降低母亲抑郁、焦虑和压力水平，降低婴儿脆弱感，改善早产儿母亲的依恋关系。对实践的启示儿科护士应考虑将母婴瑜伽作为早产儿出院后护理的支持性实践，以促进母亲心理健康，加强早期联系。临床试验注册号：临床研究信息服务中心，NCT06202937。
