Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to perform the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment (COPE) program for Iranian mothers and evaluate its effectiveness on stress, anxiety, and participation of mothers who have premature infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Materials and Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 90 mothers of premature infants hospitalized in the educational neonatal NICUs of state hospitals affi liated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. For measuring the variables, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care, and The Index of Parental Participation/Hospitalized Infant were used. Intervention group received two phases of COPE program. This program consisted of information and behavioral activities about the characteristics of premature infants. Sessionsa interval was from 2 to 4 days. Stress and anxiety were measured three times (before each phase and 2-4 days after the second phase). Mothersa participation was evaluated 2-4 days after the second phase. The t-test, 2, Mann-Whitney U test, and repeated measurement test were used for data analysis. Results: Mothers in the intervention group reported signifi cantly less anxiety and less stress in the NICU after performing each phase of the COPE program (P < 0.001), whereas at this time, the level of stress in the comparison group increased. Also, COPE mothers participated in their infantsa care rather than the mothers in the comparison group (P < 0.001). Conclusion: COPE program was effective for Iranian mothers. This study shows thatirrespective of any culture, giving early and comprehensible educational-behavioral information may have positive effect on maternal psychological condition and maternala- infant interaction. © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications.
