The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Kangaroo Care(KC) on anxiety, maternal role confidence, and maternal infant attachment of mothers who delivered preterm infants.
The research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest. Data was collected from September 1. 2006 to June 20. 2007. The participants were 22 mothers in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. KC was applied three times per day, for a total of ten times in 4 days to the experimental group.
The degree of anxiety was statistically significantly different between the two groups but maternal role confidence and maternal infant attachment was statistically insignificant.
This data suggests that KC was effective for mothers anxiety relief but it was not effective for maternal role confidence and maternal infant attachment of mothers. The implications for nursing practice and directions for future research need to be discussed.
本研究旨在探讨袋鼠式护理(KC)对早产产妇焦虑、母亲角色信心及母婴依恋的影响。
研究设计为非等效对照组前后测。数据收集时间为2006年9月1日至2007年6月20日。实验组有22位母亲,对照组有21位母亲。实验组每天进行3次袋鼠式护理,4天共进行10次。
两组之间的焦虑程度在统计学上有显著差异,但母亲角色信心和母婴依恋在统计学上无显著差异。
这些数据表明,袋鼠式护理对缓解母亲焦虑有效,但对母亲的母亲角色信心和母婴依恋无效。需要讨论其对护理实践的启示及未来研究方向。
