Abstract

Background: The Little Baby Handbook (LBH) includes information on the growth/development of lowbirth- weight infants (LBWIs), raising these infants, administrative policies and subsidies for maternal and child health, and messages to mothers/families of LBWIs. In the present study, a focus group interview with the users of the LBH was conducted to examine its usefulness. Methods: A qualitative design with an inductive approach. The subjects were four mothers and a couple with very low-birth-weight infants whose birth weight was less than 1,500 g. Results: The mean birth weight of the infants was 800.6 ± 205.8 g and they were 26.6 ± 2.4 weeks old. Two of the infants were attending a center for children with special needs, and three were undergoing rehabilitation. Mothers of LBWIs used the LBH as a mental support for raising their children, and evaluated it as a useful tool to assess their development and sources of health/medical care information and peer support. The mothers experienced a sense of pleasure from making records of the growth and development of their children, and acquired prospects of their development through messages from mothers with similar experiences. Mothers of LBWIs hoped for the promotion of the LBH as a public tool for information sharing among the families of LBWIs and many different health care professionals. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that the LBH empowers the mothers of LBWIs to change their negative feelings and behaviors to positive ones.
低出生体重婴儿及其家庭育儿记录手册的好处
背景:《小婴儿手册》(LBH)包括关于低出生体重婴儿(LBWIs)的生长/发育、养育这些婴儿、母婴健康的行政政策和补贴以及给低出生体重儿母亲/家庭的信息。在本研究中,对LBH的用户进行了焦点小组访谈,以检验其有用性。方法:采用归纳法进行定性设计。受试者是四位母亲和一对出生体重低于1500 g的极低出生体重婴儿。结果:婴儿的平均出生体重为800.6±205.8 g,年龄为26.6±2.4周。其中两名婴儿在一家有特殊需求的儿童中心接受治疗,三名正在接受康复治疗。LBWIs的母亲将LBH作为养育孩子的心理支持,并将其评估为评估其发展以及健康/医疗保健信息和同伴支持来源的有用工具。母亲们从记录孩子的成长和发展中获得了快乐,并通过有类似经历的母亲的信息获得了孩子发展的前景。LBWIs的母亲们希望推广LBH,将其作为LBWIs家庭和许多不同医疗保健专业人员之间信息共享的公共工具。结论:本研究的结果表明,LBH使LBWIs的母亲能够将消极的感觉和行为转变为积极的。
