| description | Abstract Objectives: this study aimed to investigate the effect of education and auriculotherapy on stress, anxiety, and depression, and coping responses in mothers with premature infants. Methods: this is a randomized clinical trial study at Bahar Hospital carried out with 90 mothers with premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Those eligible for hospitalization were included in the study and distributed into three groups before intervention: (30 ones in the control, training, and auriculotherapy groups, respectively). The mean stress, anxiety, depression, and coping responses in mothers were measured both at the beginning of the study and before neonatal discharge. Results: there was no statistically significant difference in terms of anxiety, stress, and depression scores between the three groups before the intervention. However, after the intervention, there was a significant statistical difference between these three groups, which was among the mean scores of anxiety, stress, and depression. In terms of coping responses, the mean emotional and problem-oriented score in all three groups before and after the intervention is statistically significant. Conclusions: educating mothers and auriculotherapy pressure therapy are simple and practical methods in reducing anxiety, stress, depression, and increase coping responses; consequently, they can be used in neonatal intensive care. |
