Abstract

Background: The hospitalization of premature neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is very stressful for parents. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the stressors in parents of premature neonates hospitalized at the NICU in Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb Hospital of Rafsanjan, Kerman, Iran, within November 2020 to September 2021. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the NICU of Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb Hospital of Rafsanjan. A total of 204 parents with premature neonates admitted to the NICU were selected by the convenience sampling method. The data collection tool was a demographic data form and the Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistic tests, such as the one-sample t-test, by SPSS software (version 22). Results: The most stressful item was in the “sights and sounds” domain belonging to “sudden alarm noises” for both parents, and “needles and tubes put in” in the “neonate’s behavior” domain. The major causes of stress in “parental role alterations” subscales were relevant to “feeling helpless about how to help neonate” and “being separated from neonate” in fathers and mothers, respectively. The comparison of parental stress scores in the total scale for mothers and fathers showed that mothers had higher stress scores in “sights and sounds” and “neonate’s behavior” domains; however, fathers’ scores were higher in “parental role alterations” without any significant differences (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Parents of premature neonates deal with NICU stress levels. Nurses’ manners concerning parents play a major role in handling the stressed situation.
2021年在伊朗拉夫桑詹Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb医院NICU住院的早产儿父母压力源评估:一项横断面研究
背景:早产儿在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)的住院对父母来说压力很大。目的:本研究旨在评估2020年11月至2021年9月期间在伊朗拉夫桑詹Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb医院NICU住院的早产儿父母的压力源。方法:本横断面描述性研究在拉夫桑詹Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb医院NICU进行。采用方便抽样法对204例入住新生儿重症监护病房的早产儿父母进行调查。数据收集工具是人口统计数据表和父母压力量表:新生儿重症监护病房。数据分析采用描述性和分析性统计检验,如单样本t检验,采用SPSS软件(版本22)。结果:对父母双方来说,“视觉和听觉”领域的压力最大,属于“突然的报警噪音”领域,“针头和管子插入”领域属于“新生儿行为”领域。“父母角色转换”分量表中压力的主要成因分别与父亲和母亲“对如何帮助新生儿感到无助”和“与新生儿分离”有关。父母压力总分比较显示,母亲在“视觉与听觉”和“新生儿行为”领域的压力得分较高;父亲在“父母角色转换”方面得分较高,但差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。结论:早产儿父母应对新生儿重症监护病房压力水平。护士对父母的态度在处理压力情况中起着重要作用。
