Abstract

Aims and objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to test the effects of an Internet-based intervention, the New Mothers Network, on single, low-income, adolescent, African American mothers' psychological, parenting, and health care utilization outcomes.

Background: The study was based on social support theory.

Methods: For mothers in the Intervention Group, MSNTV™ was installed in subjects' homes and connected to the Internet. Data were collected at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months following the infant's birth.

Results: For infant health services utilization, 70.6% of those in the Control Group took their infant to the emergency room at least once during the study compared to 35.7% of mothers in the Intervention Group. The New Mothers Network allowed mothers to share their experiences and acquire information from nurses about caring for themselves and their infants.

Conclusion: The New Mothers Network Web site is well poised for nursing driven social support intervention via the Internet, even though access devices are evolving over time.

网络干预对母亲心理、育儿和医疗保健利用结果的影响

目的和目的:本试点研究的目的是测试基于互联网的干预措施——新母亲网络对单身、低收入、青少年、非裔美国母亲的心理、育儿和医疗保健利用结果的影响。背景:本研究基于社会支持理论。方法:对于干预组的母亲，在受试者家中安装MSNTV™并连接到互联网。在婴儿出生后1周、6周、3个月和6个月收集数据。结果:对于婴儿保健服务的利用，对照组的70.6%的母亲在研究期间至少带婴儿去急诊室一次，而干预组的这一比例为35.7%。新妈妈网络允许妈妈们分享她们的经验，并从护士那里获得关于照顾自己和婴儿的信息。结论:新妈妈网络网站已准备好通过互联网进行护理驱动的社会支持干预，尽管接入设备随着时间的推移而不断发展。
