Abstract

Preterm birth is considered as a stressful situation for parents. A training program for the preparation of the mothers is essential at the time of discharge due to more vulnerability of these infants compared to term infants. Mothers of these children are worried about caring for their child after discharge. In Iran, there is no follow-up regarding the status of preterm infants after discharge. This study aimed to assess the effect of implementation of discharge planning on hope and satisfaction of mothers with preterm newborns in Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman. In this clinical trial study, the population included 100 mothers of preterm newborns hospitalized in NICU in Afzalipour Hospital of Kerman in 2016. The mothers were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups. Discharge planning was implemented for mothers that consisted of training programs about caring at home in the intervention group while the control group received routine training that consisted of receiving the booklet. Both groups completed hope and satisfaction questionnaires before and after the intervention. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: Demographic information, parental satisfaction, and Miller hope scale. The data were analyzed by Man Whitney U and Wilcoxon as well as SPSS 19. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the mean scores of satisfaction between intervention (209±8.3) and the control (181.82±21.97) groups after the implementation of discharge planning (P<0.001). Also, according to Mann Whitney U test statistically, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of hope between intervention (277/02±10.28) and control groups (217.6±28.39) after the implementation of discharge planning (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship among satisfaction, hope, and any demographic variables according to Spearman test (p>0.05).
