Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy and dyadic coping of preterm parents and explore the influence and pathway analysis of dyadic coping between parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy.

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.
