The purpose of this study was to develop a parenting intervention program and determine the efficacy of the program with low-birth weight infants and their mothers. Nine dyads for the experimental group and twelve dyads for the control group discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in Seoul were recruited for the study. For the intervention group, programmed education and support which focused on the maternal sensitivity of the infant's behavior. rearing environment. motherinfant interaction and infant care were given to each subject. Individual counseling and home visits were provided at discharge, one week after discharge. and one and three months of corrected age in every infant. Structured questionaires were administered and feeding interactions were videotaped and coded by a blinded certified observer. A Quasi-experimental design was conducted for this study. Postpartum depression, maternal self esteem. infant care burden, HOME. mother-infant interaction, and infant development were measured. Results were in favor of the intervention versus the control group. On the Beck depression inventory, intervention mothers showed decreasing trends in depressive symptom vs control mothers although, there were statistically no significant differences between the two groups at each time. The mean score of experimental group was 11.55(mild depression state) at discharge and became 8,6(normal state) at 1 month of corrected age. On the other hand, the mean score of the control group was 13.92(mild depression state) at discharge and became 14.0. Maternal self esteem in both groups improved over time. Infant care burden in both groups was also shown to increase over time. There was a significant difference between the two groups in HOME(p=.0340) at 3 months of corrected age. HOME scores of the experimental group and the control's were 31.10 and 25.58, respectively. Mothers' emotional and language responses were significantly high in the intervention group compared with the control group(p=.0155). Intervention group (53.33) showed a significantly high quality of motherinfant interaction compared with the in control group (42.80)(p =.0340). Intervention group mothers appeared have a better quality of mother-infant interaction behaviors. On the other hand, there was no statistical difference in the infant part between groups. Intervention group infants had higher trends in a general developmental quotient: although, there was no statistical difference between groups. The general developmental quotient of intervention infants was 102.56 and control's was 91.28. However, the developmental quotient of the domain of 'individuality-sociality' was higher in the intervention group infants compared with the control's(p=.0155). The concerns identified by parents revealed two domains of an infants' health management -knowledge and skills in caregiving of lowbirthweight-infants, characteristics of lowbirthweight infants, identifying a developmental milestone, coping with emergency situations and relaxation strategies of mothers from the infant care burden. Interview data with the mothers of low-birth weight infants can be used to develop intervention program contents. Limited intervention time and frequency due to time and cost limitations of this study should be modified. The intervention should be continuously implemented when low-birth weight infants become three years old. An NNNS demonstration appeared to be a very effective intervention for the mothers to improve the quality of mother-infant interactions. Therefore intervening in the mothers of low-birth weight infants as early after delivery as possible is desirable. This study has shown that home visit interventions are worthwhile for mothers only beyond the approach as an essential factor in ability of facilitating a growth fostering environment. In conclusion. the intervention program of this study was very effective in enhancing the parenting for the mothers of low-birth weight infants, resulting in health promotion of low-birth weight infants. The home-visit outreach intervention program of this study will contribute to the health delivery system in this country where there is a lack of continuous follow-up programs for low-birth weight infants after discharge from NICU, if it is activated as part of the home visit programs in community health systems.

목적: 본 연구에서는 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압의 임상적 특성과 hydrocortisone 투여에 대한 치료반응을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2007년 1월 1일부터 2009년 8월 31일까지 분당서울대학교병원에서 출생하여 신생아집중치료실에 입원했던 재태주령 32주 미만의 미숙아 158명 중 미숙아 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압이 발생하였던 12명의 환아를 대상으로 하였고 이들의 임상적 특성과 hydrocortisone 투여 전과 후의 평균혈압, 소변량, 혈청 전해질 검사 소견을 비교하였다. 결과: 환아의 재태주령은 27.8${\pm}$2.5주, 출생체중은 1,110${\pm}$307g이었고 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압이 발생한 시기는 생후19${\pm}$7일, 월경 후 주령으로는 30.6${\pm}$2.4주이었고 당시 체중은 1,285${\pm}$365 g이었다. Dopamine 투여에도 저혈압이 발생한 미숙아는 hydrocortisone을 4.0 mg/kg/day의 스트레스 용량으로 시작해 2.2${\pm}$0.7일간 유지 후 감량하였으며 hydrocortisone 투여 전의 혈청 cortisol 농도는 11.6${\pm}$4.1 mg/dL이었다. Hydrocortisone 투여 당시와 2, 4, 6시간 후의 평균혈압은 25.0${\pm}$5.4 mmHg에서 35.0${\pm}$5.3 mmHg, 38.3${\pm}$8.0 mmHg 그리고 41.9${\pm}$6.5 mmHg 로 증가되다가 그 후로는 안정적으로 유지되었고 소변량도 hydrocortisone 투여 전에 0.9${\pm}$0.6 mL/kg/hr에서 치료 6시간 후 4.1${\pm}$3.4 mL/kg/hr로 증가되었다. 치료시작당시와 12시간 후의 dopamine 용량은 11.0${\pm}$2.9 ${\mu}g$/kg/min에서 8.0${\pm}$2.3 $\mu$g/kg/min로 감량되었고 24시간 후에는 5.5${\pm}$3.4 ${\mu}g$/kg/min까지 감량되었다. 혈청 $Na^+$ 농도는 hydrocortisone 투여 전 130${\pm}$4 mEq/L에서 투여 12시간 후 136${\pm}$4mEq/L로 증가되었고 혈청 $K^+$ 농도는 hydrocortisone 투여 전6.1${\pm}$1.1 mEq/L에서 투여 12시간 후 4.6${\pm}$0.6 mEq/L로 감소하였다. 결론: 미숙아에서 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압이 발생한 경우 hydrocortisone의 투여는 신속히 혈압을 상승시키고 소변량을 증가시켰으며 전해질 농도를 정상화시켰다.
