About this study
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy and dyadic coping of preterm parents and explore the influence and pathway analysis of dyadic coping between parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy.
Read the detailed description
For now, there is a lack of investigation and research on parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy and dyadic coping of co-parenting for discharged premature infants in the literature, and the mediating effect of dyadic coping between parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy of preterm parents has not been verified yet. This study aims to provide a theoretical basis for effective intervention for preterm parents with high parenting pressure and insufficient parenting self-efficacy in clinical work.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Karitane parenting confidence scale
The Karitane parenting confidence scale will measure the Parenting Self-efficacy of preterm parents. The scale adopts a Likert 4-level scoring method, with 0 representing hardly ever and 3 representing most of the time. The higher the scores of each dimension and the total score, the higher the self-efficacy of the Parenting Self-efficacy of preterm parents.
Measured: baseline
Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS:NICU)
The Parenting Stress of preterm parents will be measured by Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU). The scale was scored from 1(not experient) to 5(extremely stressful) points, and the higher the score, the higher the feeling of parenting stress.
Measured: baseline
Dyadic Coping Inventory
The Dyadic Coping of preterm parents will be measured by Dyadic Coping Inventory. The total score ranges from 36 to 180.. The higher the score, the more supportive behaviors the partner gives.
Measured: baseline
