Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

周産期医療の発達に伴う今後の社会的動向として、リスクをもった母親への看護介入は急務であり、Maternal Confidence が低い低出生体重児を抱える母親に対する看護介入プログラムの開発・提案は、成長発達が著しい乳児期において低出生体重児を抱える母親が自信をもって産み育て、育児に取り組むことができる看護支援の一考察を提案することとなると考える。また、具体的なガイドラインとして明示することで、低出生体重児を抱える母親へのMaternal Confidence を育成する看護介入の一般化をはかることができる。
