The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence of stress and the areas of stress experienced by mothers as they prepare for their infants' transition from the neonatal intensive care unit to the home setting. A descriptive survey study was used to study mothers of infants anticipating discharge to home within 5 days. The author used a descriptive survey research design using the Parental Stressor Scale: Infant Hospitalization tool and a global measure of stress. The highest area of stress was parental role alterations. All mothers in the study reported experiencing stress related to their infants' anticipated discharge, with extremely high levels of stress reported by 34% of participants. These findings support the position that nurses are to provide guidance to mothers that strengthens their parenting role and relationship with their infants.
本研究的目的是确定母亲在为婴儿从新生儿重症监护病房过渡到家庭环境做准备时压力的发生情况以及压力所在领域。采用描述性调查研究对预计在5天内出院回家的婴儿的母亲进行研究。作者使用了描述性调查研究设计，采用了《父母压力源量表：婴儿住院》工具和一种压力的整体测量方法。压力最大的领域是父母角色的改变。研究中的所有母亲都报告称经历了与婴儿预期出院相关的压力，34%的参与者报告压力水平极高。这些发现支持了护士应为母亲提供指导以加强其育儿角色以及与婴儿关系的观点。
