Effect of mindfulness intervention combined with family participatory intervention based on Levine's conservation theory on anxiety levels and caregiving ability of parents of preterm infants

Objective: To investigate whether mindfulness intervention combined with family participatory intervention based on Levine's Conservation Theory can improve the anxiety levels of parents of preterm infants. Methods: A total of 98 preterm infants admitted to the NICU of our hospital from December 2023 to December 2024 were selected as study subjects and divided into a control group (routine intervention + mindfulness intervention, n=49) and a study group (family participatory intervention based on Levine's Conservation Theory in addition to the control group's interventions, n=49) using a random number table method. The family caregiving ability and parental anxiety levels (SAS), discharge readiness, and... of the two groups of preterm infants were compared at various time points.
