The birth of a premature infant, hospitalization, and separation from the family cause disruption on maternal role adaption. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of participation education on maternal role adaption in mothers of premature infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.
This semiexperimental study was conducted with the participation of 129 eligible mothers with premature infants into three groups of 43 (face-to-face education, virtual education, and control). Data collection was done using a checklist measuring adaptation to the maternal role. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistical and multiple linear regression tests at a significance level of < 0.05.
The mean age of mothers was 30.8 years, the mean gestational age of infants was 31.7 weeks, the mean birth weight was 1781.4 g, and the most common (84.5%) reason for hospitalization of infants was respiratory distress. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total score of maternal role adaptation at the time of discharge was significantly different in the two groups of virtual education (134.362 ± 0.925) ( < 0.001) and face-to-face education (132.421 ± 0.928) ( = 0.005) with the control group (128.286 ± 0.924).
The implementation of educational programs is a suitable solution to improve maternal role adaption. Therefore, it is recommended that managers and healthcare planners consider codified and regular educational programs in order to increase the ability of mothers, in order to adapt to the maternal role.
早产儿的出生、住院以及与家人分离会导致母亲角色适应受到干扰。本研究旨在调查参与式教育对新生儿重症监护病房住院早产儿母亲的母亲角色适应的影响。
本半实验性研究纳入了129名符合条件的早产儿母亲，分为三组，每组43人（面对面教育组、虚拟教育组和对照组）。使用一份衡量母亲角色适应情况的清单进行数据收集。数据采用描述性统计和多元线性回归检验进行分析，显著性水平为<0.05。
母亲的平均年龄为30.8岁，婴儿的平均孕周为31.7周，平均出生体重为1781.4克，婴儿住院最常见的原因（84.5%）是呼吸窘迫。多元线性回归分析表明，出院时虚拟教育组（134.362±0.925）（<0.001）和面对面教育组（132.421±0.928）（=0.005）的母亲角色适应总分与对照组（128.286±0.924）相比有显著差异。
实施教育项目是改善母亲角色适应的合适解决方案。因此，建议管理人员和医疗保健规划者考虑制定规范的定期教育项目，以提高母亲适应母亲角色的能力。
