Determinants of maternal role adaptation in mothers with preterm neonates

Becoming a mother is an innate process, without any culture-dependent instruction. While it is a pleasant experience, it can sometimes be associated with problems resulted from baby caring. Preterm birth can be a challenge for the maternal role adaptation (MRA). Therefore, the present study was cond...

Description
Summary:Becoming a mother is an innate process, without any culture-dependent instruction. While it is a pleasant experience, it can sometimes be associated with problems resulted from baby caring. Preterm birth can be a challenge for the maternal role adaptation (MRA). Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the maternal role adaptation in mothers with preterm neonates. The present study is cross-sectional, with a sample including 114 mothers of preterm infants in the NICU. We collected the data using a two-section questionnaire. The first section was a demographic questionnaire and the second section was a standardized questionnaire? "Maternal role adaptation scale in mothers with preterm neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units" (MRAS: NICU). We ran the statistical analysis using descriptive and inferential statistical methods with the SPSS 21 software. The total MRA score was strong in half of the participants. The participants had a university education, were employed and satisfied with their economic status, and had a high score on adaptation to the maternal role. There are different domains to the MRA, the highest score was allocated to the participation in care (56.24±0.13), and the lowest score was allocated to growth and development (3.12±0.28). According to the results of this study, the most important factors associated with MRA are the mother's age, education, and economic satisfaction. Determining the factors related to the mothers' adoption of premature infants could increase the ability of mothers to cope with problems and negative emotions, and enhance the adoption of maternal roles.
