Abstract

This study was to examine the effects of support interventions on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in women hospitalized with preterm labor. A randomized, single-blind experimental design was used. Participants were recruited from maternity wards of one medical center in Taiwan. The control group ( n = 103) received routine nursing care, and intervention group ( n = 140) received interventional support during hospitalization. The Beck Anxiety Inventory, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire were used at admission and 2 weeks of hospitalization. For the control group, anxiety and depression scores increased significantly and quality of life decreased 2 weeks after hospitalization. Participants who received 2 weeks of support intervention had significantly lower anxiety and depression scores than controls. Thus, clinical nurses can offer support interventions to improve anxiety and depression for women with preterm labor during hospitalization.
