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.
