Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the physical and emotional health of South Korean mothers of preterm infants in the early postpartum period.

Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, the participants included 91 mothers of preterm infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital in South Korea. Physical health status was measured using a self-reported questionnaire, postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and guilt using a 4-item scale.

Results: Fatigue had the highest score among mothers' physical health problems, followed by shoulder pain, nipple pain, neck pain. The average postpartum depression score was 11.02 points, and 44% of women had postpartum depression with a score of 12 or above. Postpartum depression significantly was correlated with physical health (r=.35, p=.001), anxiety (r=.84, p<.001), and guilt (r=.75, p<.001) and was significantly higher for women with multiple births, and preterm infants who required ventilator and antibiotic treatment. Anxiety also showed a significant difference according to preterm infants' condition.

Conclusion: The significant correlations between postpartum depression and physical health, anxiety, and guilt indicate a need for nursing interventions that provide integrated management of mothers' physical and emotional health.

目的探讨韩国早产母亲产后早期的身心健康状况。方法在这个描述性的相关研究中,参与者包括91名早产儿母亲,她们住在韩国一家三级医院的新生儿重症监护室。身体健康状况采用自我报告问卷,产后抑郁采用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表,焦虑采用状态-特质焦虑量表,内疚采用4项量表。结果在母亲的身体健康问题中,疲劳得分最高,其次是肩痛、乳头痛、颈痛。产后抑郁平均得分为11.02分,44%的女性产后抑郁得分在12分及以上。产后抑郁与身体健康显著相关(r=。35, p=.001),焦虑(r=。84, p<.001),内疚(r=。75, p<.001),多胞胎妇女和需要呼吸机和抗生素治疗的早产儿的死亡率明显更高。不同早产儿的焦虑程度也有显著差异。结论产后抑郁与母亲的身体健康、焦虑和内疚感之间存在显著相关,需要采取护理干预措施,对母亲的身体和情绪健康进行综合管理。
