Transition Model-Based Discharge Training in Parents of Preterm Infants

Summary

Infant and Child Monitoring Protocol prepared by the General Directorate of Mother and Child Health and Family Planning of the Ministry of Health regarding the monitoring of postpartum processes in our country. However, there is no separate recommendation for home follow-up and care of mothers and babies who gave birth preterm. In addition, there are deficiencies in the effective conduct of home visits specified in these guides. In addition to the parents' lack of knowledge about the long-term follow-up and care of these babies, the coordination between primary and secondary health care providers and senior health care providers is not at the desired level. In addition to all these, services such as training and consultancy cannot be carried out due to disruptions in many polyclinic services due to the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. For this reason, there is a need to develop programs for home care and follow-up of preterm infants, who are a sensitive population, in terms of both reducing the patient density in hospitals and reducing the hospital return rates of preterm infants. In this context, the aim of our research is; The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of discharge training based on the Transition Model in parents with preterm infants.H1: In the group in which the interventions based on the Transition Model are applied, the information needs of the parents will be met more compared to the control group. H1: Parent-infant role development will be higher in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of coping with stress will be better in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of grief will be lower in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of postpartum depression will be lower in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: Babies in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied will have fewer hospital admissions, except for the planned outpatient visit
