Aim:
The aim of this study was to identify the effects of a hybrid maternal role enhancement program based on Meleis' Transition Theory for working mothers.
Methods:
Using a non-equivalent control group pretest-post-test repeated-measures design, 46 participants were conveniently recruited and assigned to experimental (n = 24) and control (n = 22) groups. Data were collected before intervention (baseline), immediately after intervention (Post-test 1) and 2 weeks after intervention (Post-test 2) using structured questionnaires. The experimental group participated in the hybrid maternal role enhancement program, which included a 1-day offline workshop for both parents and 2 weeks of online support and counselling for mothers. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0.
Results:
The hybrid maternal role enhancement program had significant interaction effects (group × time effect) on parenting efficacy, maternal identity and spousal childcare support. Scores in the experimental group increased from baseline to Post-test 1 and Post-test 2, whereas the scores of those in the control group remained similar or decreased.
Conclusion:
The nursing-led maternal role enhancement program developed based on the transition theory can be provided for working mothers with severe time and space restrictions as a hybrid program that combines online and offline programs.
