Abstract:
Objective:To understand the level of discharge preparation of parents of premature infants in intensive care unit, and investigate the status of discharge preparation of parents of premature infants and its influencing factors.Methods:Convenient sampling was used to recruit the 202 parents of preterm infants who stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit in Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from May to December 2018. The characteristics questionnaire and the Chinese version of Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-Parent Form were used to collect data.Results:The total score of parents' readiness for discharge of premature infants ranged from 111 to 290 (222.28±34.81). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that birth gestational age, birth weight, parity, parents' gender, annual family income were the influencing factors of premature parents' discharge readiness( P<0.05). Conclusions:The parents of premature infants in NICU are not well prepared for discharge. Medical staff should pay more attention to premature infants with low birth age and weight, first-born parents and low-income parents, so as to improve the discharge guidance content, help them prepare for discharge in all aspects and improve their care ability after discharge.
