Abstract:
Objective To explore the postnatal health education needs of preterm fathers so as to provide evidences for the formulation of health education on preterm parents.Methods A total of 60 fathers of preterm infants admitted in Peking University First Hospital NICU from January 2015 to June 2015 were selected and surveyed at different time points including admission,discharge and the first follow-up. Preterm parents care needs questionnaire and State Anxiety Inventory (S-AI) were used to evaluate phased health education needs and anxiety status of preterm fathers.Results At the admission time, fathers care more about the condition and prognosis of preterm infants,with the S-AI score of (49.57±10.88). At the discharge time,preterm fathers showed great needs of nursing skills and ability,with skill need score of (20.27±6.07) and ability need score of (11.96±3.37). After the discharge,preterm fathers focused on feeding skills and knowledge of observation and treatment for special situations.Conclusions Preterm fathers have phased needs and anxiety for infants from admission to follow-up stage. Nurses need to provide phased and individual health education and support to increase the nursing ability of preterm parents so as to improve the psychological states of preterm parents.
