Promoting Maternal Mental Health and Wellbeing in Neonatal Intensive Care
Panoramica dello studio
Stato
Intervento / Trattamento
Descrizione dettagliata
An estimated 400,000-480,000 infants in the U.S. with serious medical conditions are cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) each year. Maternal stress exposure related to infants' NICU stays is an under-appreciated public health problem with negative implications for maternal and child health and wellbeing. Flexible, effective intervention strategies have potential to improve maternal mental health and parenting, promoting positive emotional and behavioral outcomes for both mothers and infants.
In the investigators' successful pilot research, the investigators developed an audio-delivered mindfulness program to help NICU mothers reduce rumination and worry, cultivate a state of calm awareness, and promote self care. In this small randomized pilot study, the investigators will randomly assign mothers with an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to receive either the mindfulness intervention or an active control program (audio-delivered education on infant care and development).
This study will evaluate feasibility of all key research aspects, including recruitment, randomization, intervention and control conditions, and assessments, in preparation for a future larger-scale study. This study will also assess preliminary intervention outcomes to identify potential program benefits.

Armi e interventi
Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm |
Intervento / Trattamento |
|---|---|
|
Sperimentale: Mindfulness Program
The intervention consists of an introductory video in which a mindfulness expert explains the program's approach and models practices to increase women's comfort with the material, four audio-recorded mindfulness practices for mothers' use when the baby is in the NICU, each available in 5- and 10-minute versions, and a brief video and four additional audio mindfulness practices (each available in briefer and longer versions) for use by mothers during and following the transition home with the baby.
|
The intervention consists of two brief videos (one introducing the NICU portion of the program and one introducing the portion of the program addressing the transition home), as well as a series of mindfulness practices delivered via audio recordings to assist mothers in managing stress during the NICU stay and another series for the transition home.

Comparatore placebo: Infant Health Education Program
The intervention consists of an introductory video explaining the program's approach, four audio recordings providing education about infant health and development, each available in 5- and 10-minute versions, and a brief video and four additional educational recordings (each available in briefer and longer versions) for use by mothers during and following the transition home with the baby.
|
The active control condition consists of two brief videos (one introducing the NICU portion of the program and one introducing the portion of the program addressing the transition home), as well as a series of audio recordings providing information on infant health and development for mothers to use during the NICU stay and another series for the transition home.
