Forty mothers whose preterm infants were about to be discharged from the Neonatal Intermediate Care Nursery (NICU) were randomly assigned to two groups: the first group of mothers conducted preterm infant massage and the second group only observed their preterm infants receiving massage. Both groups of mothers had lower depressed mood scores following the session. However, only the group who massaged their infants had lower anxiety scores after the session.
40名早产婴儿即将从新生儿中级护理病房(NICU)出院的母亲被随机分为两组:第一组母亲对早产婴儿进行按摩,第二组母亲只观察自己的早产婴儿接受按摩。两组母亲在活动结束后的抑郁情绪得分均较低。然而,只有给自己婴儿按摩的那组母亲在活动结束后的焦虑得分较低。
