Propuesta de intervención para la depresión, ansiedad y estrés en madres, debido a una hospitalización prolongada en las salas de UCIN.

Abstract

The main objective of this degree work was to analyze the psychological impact on mothers who spend long periods of time in NICU rooms. For several decades, a wide variety of research and contributions have been developed in relation to perinatal psychology, increasingly demonstrating its relevance and importance both in the mother and in the newborn from its first moments of life. When a newborn requires a neonatal hospitalization process, this can be complex and overwhelming for parents due to the ideal they have of the desired child, especially mothers, who spend most of their time inside these rooms. Therefore, a bibliographic review was carried out where it was shown that long hospital stays can be a relevant risk factor for the development of characteristic postpartum mood disorders. Being a mixed-type research, quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches were used with both a descriptive and explanatory scope of study. The techniques used were surveys, open interviews, observation, and field notes. The results demonstrated the various psychological affectations related to depression, anxiety and stress presented by the population of mothers who spend long stays in NICU rooms. It is therefore that a psychological intervention proposal was built in relation to the problem, which can provide an optimal and timely complement.
