In this article we report on a study exploring personal narratives of mothers of former preterm infants and the attributed meaning related to that experience over time. Using narrative inquiry as the research method, in-depth, unstructured interviews were conducted with 6 preterm mothers. Findings reveal that a preterm mother's experience is informed by contextual, intrapersonal, and interpersonal dynamics, some predating the birth often with effects that continue for years beyond it. By learning a preterm mother's unique experience and its attributed meaning, nurses can better understand the resulting effect on maternal/family health and well-being and tailor nursing interventions accordingly.
在本文中,我们报告了一项研究,该研究探讨了早产婴儿母亲的个人经历以及随着时间推移与该经历相关的归因意义。采用叙事探究作为研究方法,对6位早产母亲进行了深入的、非结构化访谈。研究结果表明,早产母亲的经历受到情境、个人内在和人际动态因素的影响,其中一些因素在婴儿出生前就已存在,其影响往往会持续到婴儿出生后的数年。通过了解早产母亲的独特经历及其归因意义,护士可以更好地理解其对母亲/家庭健康和幸福的影响,并据此调整护理干预措施。
