Detailed Description
For now, there is a lack of investigation and research on parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy and dyadic coping of co-parenting for discharged premature infants in the literature, and the mediating effect of dyadic coping between parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy of preterm parents has not been verified yet. This study aims to provide a theoretical basis for effective intervention for preterm parents with high parenting pressure and insufficient parenting self-efficacy in clinical work.
