Data were collected using demographic, maternal health literacy, maternal self-efficacy and multidimensional scale of perceived social support questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential tests (Pearson correlation coefficient) using SPSS-PC (v.23) and R software.
The data showed 23.5% of mothers had high likelihood of low health literacy, 45.5% had possibility of low health literacy and 31% had adequate with mean score 2.57 ± 1.28. Also, 9.5% of participants had low perceived social support, 62.5% moderate perceived social support and 28% high perceived social support. Maternal self-efficacy score was 52.54 ± 8.06. Pearson's correlation coefficient analyses revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between maternal health literacy and social support ( = 0.304, < .001). Also maternal health literacy was positively correlated with the self-efficacy ( = 0.292, < .001) and self-efficacy was positively correlated with social support ( = 0.440, < .001).

这是一项描述性相关性研究，于 2017 年 11 月至 2019 年 1 月在伊朗德黑兰大学附属选定医院的新生儿重症监护病房对 200 名早产儿母亲进行。使用人口统计学、产妇健康素养、产妇自我效能感和多维感知社会支持量表收集数据。使用 SPSS-PC（v.23）和 R 软件对数据进行描述性统计（均值和标准差）和推断检验（皮尔逊相关系数）。
数据显示，23.5%的母亲有低健康素养的高可能性，45.5%有低健康素养的可能性，31%有适当的健康素养，平均得分为 2.57±1.28。此外，9.5%的参与者感知到低社会支持，62.5%感知到中等社会支持，28%感知到高社会支持。产妇自我效能感评分为 52.54±8.06。皮尔逊相关系数分析显示，产妇健康素养与社会支持呈正相关（ = 0.304， < .001）。此外，产妇健康素养与自我效能感呈正相关（ = 0.292， < .001），自我效能感与社会支持呈正相关（ = 0.440， < .001）。
伊朗入住新生儿重症监护病房的早产儿母亲的健康素养、社会支持和自我效能感相互关联。因此，新生儿护理护士在照顾这些患者时需要注意这一点，并采取措施来增强这些方面。
