This research was a descriptive study that surveyed the support needs of a nonrandom convenience sample of 56 mothers of high-risk premature infants. The results indicated that these mothers' received information similar to that given to mothers of healthy full-term newborns and information that they wanted on the "colicky" or crying infant, noisy breathing, "spitting up," infant behavior, infant illness, and prematurity was not given to them. Mothers who reported that they needed more information and did not receive it were more anxious and less confident in caring for their infant. The majority of the mothers felt well-supported, although many of the mothers found the infant's first postdischarge week difficult.
本研究为描述性研究，调查了56名高危早产婴儿母亲这一非随机便利样本的支持需求。结果表明，这些母亲所获得的信息与健康足月儿母亲所获信息相似，而她们想要了解的关于“腹绞痛”或哭闹婴儿、呼吸嘈杂、“吐奶”、婴儿行为、婴儿疾病和早产方面的信息并未提供给她们。报告称需要更多信息但未得到的母亲在照顾婴儿时更焦虑且信心不足。大多数母亲感觉得到了充分支持，尽管许多母亲觉得婴儿出院后的第一周很艰难。
