Effectiveness of therapeutic and behavioral interventions for parents of low-birth-weight premature infants: A review

Resource Information

Description: Premature birth has been associated with a number of adverse maternal psychological outcomes that include depression, anxiety, and trauma as well as adverse effects on maternal coping ability and parenting style. A number of interventions have been developed that target maternal psychological functioning, parenting, and aspects of the parent–infant relationship. Since the last comprehensive review of this topic in 2002, there have been a significant number of developments in the quality of the studies conducted and the theoretical models addressing the experience of parents of premature infants. In this review, 18 new interventions were identified and grouped into four categories based on treatment length and the target of the intervention.
