Abstract

Purpose: This descriptive study compared the perceived parental stress levels between parents with very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) and nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Methods: In total, 83 parents of VLBWIs and 78 NICU nurses were enrolled. Data were collected with the Parental Stress Scale (PSS) and analyzed using the t-test and analysis of variance in SAS version 9.4.

Results: The average PSS score was 3.31 among parents and 3.45 among nurses. The stress score was significantly higher among nurses with children (t=2.46, p=.016) and senior nurses (t=2.12, p=.037). There was a significant difference in the stress score according to parents' education (t=3.29, p=.002) and occupation (F=3.14, p=.049) in the sights and sounds subscale. Mothers had significantly higher stress scores than fathers in the parental role alterations subscale (t=2.32, p=.023). Parental stress scores were higher than those perceived by nurses in the infant's appearance and behaviors subscale for breathing patterns (t=2.95, p=.004), followed by jerky/restless behavior (t=2.70, p=.008).

Conclusion: Nurses should provide explanations to parents of VLBWIs in order to reduce parental stress about the appearances and behavior of VLBWIs. This is more important than aspect of the NICU environment and education about parental roles.

韩国新生儿重症监护室中出生体重极轻婴儿的父母与护士对父母压力感知的差异。
目的:这项描述性研究比较了极低出生体重儿(VLBWIs)父母和新生儿重症监护室(NICU)护士对父母压力水平的感知:方法:共招募了 83 名超低出生体重儿家长和 78 名新生儿重症监护室护士。采用家长压力量表(PSS)收集数据,并使用 SAS 9.4 版进行 t 检验和方差分析:父母的 PSS 平均分为 3.31 分,护士为 3.45 分。有子女的护士(t=2.46,p=.016)和资深护士(t=2.12,p=.037)的压力得分明显更高。在视觉和听觉分量表中,父母受教育程度(t=3.29,p=.002)和职业(F=3.14,p=.049)不同,压力得分也有明显差异。在父母角色改变分量表中,母亲的压力得分明显高于父亲(t=2.32,p=.023)。在婴儿呼吸模式的外观和行为分量表中,父母的压力得分高于护士的压力得分(t=2.95,p=.004),其次是生涩/不安行为(t=2.70,p=.008):护士应向弱智早产儿的家长提供解释,以减轻家长对弱智早产儿外表和行为的压力。这比新生儿重症监护室的环境和家长角色教育更为重要。
