Introduction: Hospitalization of the infant in the intensive care unit and the early separation of the baby from the mother cause critical conditions for the baby's mother. The continued presence of mothers on the bed of these babies has disturbed mothers to meet their basic physical and health needs. Since health-promoting lifestyle education is essential for maternal health, this study aimed to "investigate the effect of education on the health-promoting lifestyle of mothers in preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit".
Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental study with sampling available in two groups of tests (39 people) and control (39 people) in 1997. The research community included mothers with premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Imam Ali (AS) Amol Educational Center of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Data collection tools included a demographic information form and a Walker Health Promotion Lifestyle Questionnaire (1995). After obtaining informed consent, the demographic information form and health promotion lifestyle questionnaire were completed by the mothers. The Health Promoting Lifestyle training program was implemented in 6 sessions for the test group. Data were collected in two stages before intervention and 3 months after intervention in two groups of test and control.
Results: The findings showed that the lifestyle that enhanced maternal health and its dimensions increased significantly in the experimental group 3 months after the intervention (p <0/001). There was no significant difference between lifestyle scores and all dimensions between the two groups before the intervention. Three months after the intervention, the lifestyle scores that improved maternal health and its dimensions in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group (p <0/05).
Conclusions: The mean score of Health Promotion Lifestyle in the intervention group has increased compared to the control group, Therefore, it is suggested that the educational program for health promotion be used as an effective way to improve the lifestyle of the mothers of premature infants. |
