Prevalence and correlates of posttraumatic stress and postpartum depression in parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and correlates of acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in mothers and fathers, and postpartum depression (PPD) in mothers, of infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 86 mothers and 41 fathers completed measures of ASD and of parent perception of infant medical severity 3-5 days after the infant's NICU admission (T1), and measures of PTSD and PPD 30 days later (T2). 35% of mothers and 24% of fathers met ASD diagnostic criteria at T1, and 15% of mothers and 8% of fathers met PTSD diagnostic criteria at T2. PTSD symptom severity was correlated with concurrent stressors and family history of anxiety and depression. Rates of ASD/PTSD in parents of hospitalized infants are consistent with rates in other acute illness and injury populations, suggesting relevance of traumatic stress in characterizing parent experience during and after the NICU.

NICU hospitalisation can lead to significant negative effects on parents, including elevated risks of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
“Parents with babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.”
Increased psychological distress of NICU parents is associated with a wide range of short- and long-term challenges for parents and infants, including increased risk of mental health disorders, impaired parenting, and early childhood behavioural and emotional problems.
“Increased psychological distress of NICU parents is associated with a wide range of short- and long-term challenges for parents and infants, including increased risk of mental health disorders [1 -3], impaired parenting, and early childhood behavioural and emotional problems [5].”
Past intervention studies in this field have all focused on the parents of children with cancer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
