ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate anxiety, postpartum depression (PPD), and hopelessness in the mothers of newborns receiving therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in NICU. A total of 104 mothers and infants were analyzed as a study group with HIE (n = 52) and a control groups of non-HIE (n = 52). All the mothers completed The State-Trait Anxiety, Beck Hopelessness and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scales (EPDS). The EPDS scores, the rate of PPD, state-trait anxiety and hopelessness levels were similar in the two groups. In the HIE group, chest compression and persistent pulmonary hypertension in infants were associated with maternal anxiety, hopelessness, and PPD. The absence of a statistical difference between the two groups in the current study does not mean that these differences do not exist. These results demonstrate the need for further detailed studies on this subject.

摘要

本研究的目的是评估 NICU 中因缺氧缺血性脑病 (HIE) 接受低温治疗的新生儿母亲的焦虑、产后抑郁 (PPD) 和绝望情况。共有 104 名母亲和婴儿作为 HIE 研究组 (n = 52) 和非 HIE 对照组 (n = 52) 进行分析。所有母亲都完成了状态特质焦虑、贝克绝望和爱丁堡产后抑郁量表 (EPDS)。两组的 EPDS 评分、PPD 发生率、状态特质焦虑和绝望水平相似。在 HIE 组中，婴儿的胸部压迫和持续性肺动脉高压与母亲的焦虑、绝望和产后抑郁症相关。当前研究中两组之间不存在统计差异并不意味着这些差异不存在。
