Abstract

Separation due to hospitalization and the condition of infant diseases can cause stress and anxiety in parents. Parental anxiety can affect the parent-infant relationship and cause developmental problems in infant. Family Centered Care (FCC) is an effort to reduce parental anxiety when infants undergo treatment. This study aimed to identify the effect of FCC intervention on parents' anxiety in the perinatology ward. This study used a quasiexperimental design with one group pretest posttest design. A total of 29 parents were recruited by consecutive sampling technique, with following inclusion criteria: parentsof infants who were undergoing treatment in the perinatology ward, infants who were not immediately intubated when admitted to the perinatology ward, willing to become respondents, able to read and write; Meanwhile, the exclusion criteria were parents who did not follow the intervention process until the end of the intervention, and infants who were intubated during the intervention process. The intervention was carried out by providing FCC education and involving families for 3 days of baby care. Parental anxiety measurements were carried out before and after the intervention using the Parental Stressor Scale-NICU (PSS-NICU) questionnaire. The data analysis used Wilcoxon test. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the mean anxiety of parents before and after the FCC intervention (p = 0.001). FCC intervention is effective in reducing parental anxiety. It is recommended that this intervention can be applied to the parents from the beginning of the treatment in perinatology ward.
