Abstract

Background

The prematurity neonates experience numerous challenges stemming from their premature birth, resulting in a mortality rate of approximately one-third of them.

Aim

To evaluate the effect of creating opportunities for a parent empowerment program on mother-infant interaction, sense of competence, and mental health outcomes.

Design

A blinded, two-arm randomized control trial pretest-posttest design was used.

Method

The study sample was recruited from the Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Sixty mothers of preterm neonates were randomized selected to each group equally by simple randomization.

Tools

Characteristics of Preterm Neonates and their Mothers' Data record, Parent-Infant Interaction Observation Checklist, Parenting Sense of Competency Scale, and Modified Parental Stressor Scale.

Results

The majority of the studied mothers (83.3 %) had a low problem level of parent-infant interaction in the study group compared to 23.3 % of them in the control group. Furthermore, the majority of the mothers of preterm neonates in the study group had a higher sense of competency level (80.0 %) compared to 16.7 % of them in the control group. More than three-quarters of the studied mothers (76.7 %) had a low stress level in the study group compared to only 3.3 % of them in the control group.

Conclusion

The levels of parent-infant interaction, parental sense of competence, and parental stressors of mothers who had premature infants were improved by application of the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment program interventions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

护士主导的父母赋权创造机会项目对母婴互动、能力感和心理健康结局的影响：一项随机对照试验

早产新生儿因早产而面临许多挑战，导致约三分之一的早产儿死亡率。目的评价为父母赋权项目创造机会对母婴互动、能力感和心理健康结果的影响。设计采用盲法、双臂随机对照试验、前测后测设计。方法研究样本来自新生儿重症监护病房。采用简单随机法将60名早产儿母亲随机分为两组。工具：早产儿及其母亲数据记录特征、亲子互动观察表、父母胜任感量表、改良父母压力源量表。结果与对照组的23.3%相比，实验组中绝大多数（83.3%）母亲的亲子互动问题水平较低。此外，与对照组的16.7%相比，研究组的大多数早产儿母亲具有更高的能力水平意识（80.0%）。研究组中超过四分之三（76.7%）的母亲压力水平较低，而对照组中只有3.3%。结论在新生儿重症监护室应用“创造机会赋予父母权力”干预措施可改善早产儿母亲的亲子互动水平、父母能力感水平和父母压力源水平。试验注册已在ClinicalTrials.gov注册（nct06502730 / 2024年11月21日）。
