METHODS: Among 116 mothers of preterm infants, 60 received traditional discharge education (control group) and 56 received PPM discharge education (PPM group). Improvement in knowledge and skills was transformed into the mothers\' routine daily care of infants. The primary outcome was knowledge of preterm infant care. The secondary outcomes were preterm infant care skills and a sense of competence, routine intervention compliance among mothers, and the readmission rate of infants 6 months after discharge.
RESULTS: Six months after discharge, the mean knowledge score and mean skills score were significantly higher in the PPM group than in the control group. The mothers\' sense of competence with respect to both self-efficacy and satisfaction was also significantly better in the PPM group than in the control group. Moreover, intervention behavior compliance and the readmission rate were significantly better in the PPM group than in the control group.
CONCLUSIONS: Care knowledge, skills, and sense of competence in mothers of preterm infants improved after implementation of the PPM.
方法:在116名早产儿母亲中,60例接受传统出院教育(对照组),56例接受PPM出院教育(PPM组)。知识和技能的提高转化为母亲对婴儿的日常护理。主要结果是早产儿护理知识。次要结果是早产儿护理技能和能力感,母亲的常规干预依从性,和婴儿出院后6个月的再入院率。
结果:出院后6个月,PPM组的平均知识得分和平均技能得分显著高于对照组.PPM组的母亲在自我效能和满意度方面的能力感也明显优于对照组。此外,PPM组的干预行为依从性和再入院率明显优于对照组。
结论:护理知识,技能,实施PPM后,早产儿母亲的能力感得到改善。
