The Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment (COPE) program effectively reduced maternal stress in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This intervention strengthened emotional support and caregiver roles for mothers with preterm infants.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal mental health
  • Neonatal care interventions
  • Parental psychological well-being

Background:

  • Mothers of preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) experience significant stress.
  • Early interventions are crucial for mitigating parental psychological distress during infant hospitalization.
  • The Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment (COPE) program aims to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the COPE program in reducing stress levels among mothers of preterm infants.
  • To assess the impact of the COPE program on maternal emotional support, caregiver role, and NICU environment perception.

Main Methods:

  • A clinical trial was conducted in Colombia with mothers of infants born before 34 weeks gestation.

  • Participants were randomized into an intervention group (COPE program) and a control group (usual care).
  • The Parental Stress Scale: NICU was used, with statistical analyses including ANCOVA (p<.05).

    • Main Results:

    • The COPE intervention group showed decreased stress scores across all categories.
    • The control group experienced increased stress in two categories.
    • While overall stress decreased significantly (p<.01), ANCOVA revealed no significant difference between groups (p=.4).

    Conclusions:

    • The COPE program demonstrates potential in reducing maternal stress during NICU hospitalization.
    • It enhances emotional support, caregiver confidence, and mother-infant interaction.
    • The program contributes to a more supportive NICU environment for mothers.
