An Empirical Study of the PERMA Model of Positive Psychological Intervention for Parents of Preterm Infants Hospitalized in NICU

In order to explore the effect of positive psychological intervention of PERMA model in parents of preterm infants hospitalized in NICU, 64 parents of preterm infants who were admitted to the NICU of Deyang People's Hospital between January 2024 and June 2024 within 24h after birth were selected by convenience sampling method as the study subjects. 32 parents of preterm infants in the control group implemented traditional nursing interventions, and 32 parents of preterm infants in the intervention group implemented positive psychological interventions based on the PERMA model on the basis of the control group. Through this study, the effects of the 2 nursing intervention methods were compared respectively. After the experiment, it is found that the CD-RISC scores, the FAD scores, the parental sense of parental competence (C-PSOC) scores and the satisfaction degree scores of parents of preterm infants in the intervention group were all significantly higher than those scores of parents of preterm infants in the control group (P < 0.05). Therefore, it could be drawn that positive psychological intervention based on the PERMA model could effectively improve the psychological condition of parents of preterm infants, enhance their family function, increase the parenting competence and satisfaction degree of parents of preterm infants, and enable parents of preterm infants to change their roles and face the occurrence of preterm births with a positive psychological state, and hence it is worthwhile to do further relevant research and popularize its application in clinical practice in the future.
