Study Summary
Premature infants are born at substantial risk for poor health and developmental outcomes, which commonly include hearing and vision problems, developmental delays, and poor school performance. Premature infants of low-income families face additional social risks known to worsen these outcomes. The Institute of Medicine recognized this important public health problem in its 2006 report, Preterm Birth, which argued for the need to improve the quality of follow-up care for preterm infants discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The underpinning of this proposal is that maternal depression - common among families of premature infants - interferes with adherence to follow-up services, and (both through this mechanism and directly) adversely impacts child health and development. Conversely, alleviating depressive symptoms among these women represents a promising strategy to improve adherence to NICU follow-up services and to improve the outcomes of this vulnerable population. This project aims to mitigate the adverse effects of maternal depression in this specific high-risk population by testing a theory-based, parent-directed empowerment strategy, called Problem Solving Education (PSE). In the past, similar strategies have been proven effective for improving the mood and functioning of depressed adults, and for improving adherence to medical treatment. However, they have never been tested in the setting of a parent-child relationship or among families of premature infants. This project involves a clinical trial of PSE among 50 low-income mothers at risk for depression, who have premature infants in two Boston NICUs: Boston Medical Center and Tufts Medical Center. The investigators aim to determine the impact of PSE on maternal depressive symptoms and functioning, and adherence to child health supervision and immunization schedules, vision screening, and early intervention evaluation for babies with suspected developmental delays.
