To identify clinical level of anxiety, dysphoria and depression symptoms of pre-term infants' mothers between two moments, during and after hospitalization in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Previously, mothers with psychiatric background were excluded of the study. Forty-three pre-term and very low birthweight infants' mothers were assessed through State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. The assessments were done during and after hospitalization, respectively.
In the first assessment, 44% mothers showed clinical level in one or more of the emotional symptoms, such as anxiety, dysphoria or depression. After infants' discharge, the number of mothers with clinical level of emotional symptoms decreased significantly (26%) in comparison of the first assessment (p< or =0.008). The anxiety-state level decreased significantly from the first to the second assessment (from 35% to 12%; p< or =0.006). No difference in depression and dysphoria symptoms between two assessments were found.
The pre-term infants' mothers presented situational anxiety and required emotional support to cope with the infants' hospitalization.
确定新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）住院期间及出院后两个时间点早产儿母亲的焦虑、烦躁和抑郁症状的临床水平。
此前，有精神病史的母亲被排除在研究之外。通过状态-特质焦虑量表和贝克抑郁量表对43名早产儿和极低出生体重儿的母亲进行评估。评估分别在住院期间和出院后进行。
在首次评估中，44%的母亲在一种或多种情绪症状（如焦虑、烦躁或抑郁）方面表现出临床水平。婴儿出院后，与首次评估相比，有情绪症状临床水平的母亲数量显著减少（26%）（p≤0.008）。从首次评估到第二次评估，焦虑状态水平显著下降（从35%降至12%；p≤0.006）。两次评估之间在抑郁和烦躁症状方面未发现差异。
早产儿母亲存在情境性焦虑，需要情感支持来应对婴儿的住院情况。
