Özet
Introduction: Preterm newborns spend the first days of their lives struggling with life-threatening diseases in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit rather than with their mothers. The separation of mother and preterms decreased mother’s selfconfidence. This study was designed to determine the effect of planned education provided to mothers of premature newborns in neonatal intensive care unit on selfconfidence of mother. Material and methods. This quasi-experimental pre/post-test study included 104 mothers of premature newborns (50 control, 54 intervention). While the control group received routine education, the intervention group received a planned education program. Data were collected via a questionnaire, and descriptive statistics, t-test, and paired t-test were used to analyze self-confidence levels before and after training. Findings and Results. No statistically significant difference was found between average scores of experimental and control group mothers in Pharis Selfconfidence Scale before training (t=1,174;p=,243). Average Scores of Pharis Selfconfidence Scale of mothers in experimental group were higher than those in control group and the difference was statistically significant (t=-8,74;p=,000). The results showed that planned education was more effective on increasing the level of selfconfidence of mothers in preterm infant care. Keywords.
