AI Article Synopsis
- - The study looks at how a mother's confidence in her parenting skills (maternal self-efficacy) impacts the relationship between support from her partner (spousal support) and the stress she experiences.
- - Results showed that maternal self-efficacy partially mediates this relationship, meaning it plays a significant role in how spousal support helps reduce stress.
- - The findings suggest that healthcare professionals can play a key role in helping to lower stress levels for mothers with premature babies in the NICU by focusing on strengthening their self-efficacy.
