Brief summary
Premature births are a challenging process for parents in many ways. Especially after the treatment and care in the hospital, they are concerned about whether they will be able to provide adequate care for their baby at home. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the guide and telephone support given to mothers whose premature infants were discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit on the perceived maternal self-efficacy and state anxiety levels.
Detailed description
The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with a single blind, pretest-posttest design. This study will be conducted between February 2021 and March 2022 with premature infants mothers. The sample of the study will be mothers (n = 102) of premature infants discharged from Antalya Training and Research Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. 51 mothers participating in the study will be given a premature infant home care guide after the discharge routine procedures are completed. In addition, mothers will be given an appointment for a phone call a week later. No intervention will be applied to the other 51 mothers after their discharge routine. Data will be collected by Mother-Infant Descriptive Information Form, Perceived Maternity Self-Efficacy Scale (PMSES), State Anxiety Inventory (SAI). Data will be collected with forms and scales immediately after discharge (pre-test) and in the 4th week after discharge (post-test). Ethics Committee and Institutional Permission was obtained for the study. In addition, written consent will be obtained from the participants. Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS 23.0 and significance will be evaluated at p \<0.05. Support will be received in the analysis phase of the Statistical Information Unit of Akdeniz University. It is predicted that the new information obtained from the research data will guide the education of premature infant mothers and new researches.
