Abstract
The quasi-experimental research aimed at examining the effect of the stress management program in the pregnant women with preterm labor. The sample consisted of pregnant women with preterm labor, who were admitted in the labor unit, Sakaeo Crown Prince hospital. A purposive sampling of 74 participants were recruited and divided into 2 groups (1) the experimental group composed of 37 participants received the stress management program (2) the control group contained 37 participants received usual standard care. Data collecting tools included (1) personal data, pregnancy history, and ST-5 stress questionnaire of the pregnant women. (2) personal data, knowledge and satisfaction of the nurses on stress management program. The content validity was evaluated yielding the number of 1, the reliability was 0.83, 0.80 and 0.86 respectively. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square, paired t-test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and Mann Whitney U Test.
The results showed that the average stress score and readmission of the experimental group were statistically significant lower than the control group, after participating the stress management program (p <. 05, p <.05, respectively). Gestational age at birth of the experimental group was statistically significant more than the control group (p <.05). Knowledge and satisfaction of the nurses after developed the program were statistically significant higher than before developed the program (p<.05, <.001, respectively). Therefore, the stress management program in pregnant women with preterm labor can be used as a nursing practice guideline to keep pregnant women safety, maintain full-term pregnancy without complications and readmission.
