ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the methods and effects of parents chaperone for premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU).Methods Convenience sampling method was used to recruit premature infants diagnosed with BPD admitted from January 2014 to October 2016 in NICU in a tertiary hospital,and 41 premature infants were recruited and divided into the control group (n=19) and the experimental group(n=22) according to the time sequence of admission.Infants in the experimental group was accompanied by parents when diagnosed as BPD,and under the guidance of specialty nurses,parents performed daily care,observation of condition,treatment assistance,and early intervention;infants in the control group were provided traditional nursing mode,nurses performed nursing care,and parents were allowed to visit through the window for one hour each time,three times every week.Parental anxiety was compared between two groups at 1 day before discharge,and follow-up compliance and weight gain of infants were compared at 3 days,7 days,2 weeks,4 weeks after discharge.Results Parental anxiety at 1 day before discharge,and follow-up compliance and weight gain of infants in the experimental group were all better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Parents chaperone can improve parents' ability of caring,reduce parents' anxiety and improve follow-up compliance after discharge,so as to improve quality of life of premature infants with BPD.
