Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of psychological adaptation between family empowerment and discharge readiness in premature infants' mothers.Methods:From April 2021 to April 2022, 210 premature infants' mothers from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were selected as the research objects by the convenience sampling method, and were investigated using Family Empowerment Scale, Psychological Adaptation Scale and Readiness for Hospital Discharge Study-New Mother Form. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between family empowerment, psychological adaptation and discharge readiness in premature infants' mothers. AMOS 21.0 software was used to establish structural equation model and verify the mediation effect. A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 202 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.19% (202/210) .Results:The score of family empowerment in 202 premature infants' mothers was (93.72±12.96) , the score of psychological adaptation was (54.25±9.14) , the score of discharge readiness was (107.36±14.66) . Pearson correlation analysis results showed that family empowerment in premature infants' mothers was positively correlated with psychological adaptation and discharge readiness (r values were 0.473, 0.554, all P<0.01) , and psychological adaptation was positively correlated with discharge readiness ( r=0.584, P<0.01) . The structural equation model results showed that family empowerment of premature infants' mothers could positively predict discharge readiness with an effect value of 0.586, and psychological adaptation had a partial mediating effect between family empowerment and discharge readiness with an effect value of 0.302. Conclusions:Family empowerment can not only positively predict discharge readiness of premature infants' mothers, but also indirectly affect the discharge readiness through psychological adaptation. Nurses staff should improve family empowerment and psychological adaptation of premature infants' mothers, so as to improve discharge readiness.
