A pre-experimental design with pretest, posttest and follow-up measures was employed. The participants were recruited through a purposive sampling method with four triads of mother, father and preterm infants who were admitted to a sick newborn ward at a hospital in Thailand. The research instruments for data collection included the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire and the Maternal/Paternal Confidence Questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha reliability of 0.73 and 0.75, respectively. The parental sensitivity intervention contained four sessions with 60-90 minutes per session. Descriptive statistics and Friedman test were used to analyze the data.</p> <p>The results found that a significant difference over the three time measures of the outcome variables. Mother-infant attachment, mother’s self-efficacy, father-infant attachment and father’s self-efficacy at posttest and follow-up periods were better than those at pretest (p<.05). These findings indicate that the parental sensitivity intervention would be appropriate and feasible for further implementation.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of The Royal Thai Army Nurses}, author={Phianching, Kulwara and Chaimongkol, Nujjaree and Pongjaturawit, Yunee}, year={2020}, month={Apr.}, pages={66–74} }
