Maternal worry about newborn hearing screening was higher during rescreening. Socioeconomic disadvantage correlated with increased worry, highlighting the need for better screening education and reduced false positives.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Audiology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Neonatal hearing screening is crucial for early detection of hearing loss.
  • Maternal anxiety surrounding screening processes can impact parental engagement and outcomes.
  • Understanding factors influencing maternal worry is essential for improving screening protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess and compare maternal worry levels regarding neonatal hearing screening.
  • To examine worry at both initial screening and rescreening phases.
  • To identify correlations between maternal characteristics and worry.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cross-sectional study design.
  • Data collection from 307 mothers at initial screen and 40 at rescreen.

  • Inclusion of demographic data, knowledge of screening, and worry assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Maternal worry was significantly higher during the rescreening phase compared to the initial screen.
    • Mothers reporting greater worry were more likely to be socioeconomically disadvantaged.
    • Despite increased maternal knowledge over time, worry levels remained consistent.

    Conclusions:

    • Reducing false-positive results in neonatal hearing screening is vital.
    • Enhanced maternal education regarding hearing screening is necessary.
    • Targeted interventions may be required to alleviate maternal anxiety.
