Methods: This study was the nonequivalent control pretest-posttest. The 43 premature infants and their mothers participated in this study. The controlled groups were 22 and the experimental groups were 21. The HHCP developed though the researched review and analysis of the premature infant’s mother’s requests.
Results: The HHCP was composed of preparing discharge, premature infant care, and telephone counseling. Premature infant care was composed of feeding the baby safely, using medical device, assessing baby, bathing and touching. The HHCP had effects on premature mother’s anxiety (p= 0.04), maternal role’s confidence (p=0.001) and had no effects on the premature infant’s growth, readmission, emergency visits, unplanned hospital visits between two groups.
Conclusion: The HHCP was effective on the premature infant mother’s anxiety and maternal role’s confidence. Anxiety reduced, and maternal role’s confidence increased.
