Introduction: Anxiety and stress in parents’ lives during their babies' NICU stays can have a negative impact on all family members. This study aimed to measure the stress and anxiety levels of parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit receiving oxygen support.
Methods: This study was conducted based on cross-sectional design with 123 parents of infants between 1 August 2020 and 01 May 2021. Data was gathered using the "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)", "Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU)", and "Parent Information Form and Infant Information Form".
Results: The STAI scores of the parents were considered "moderately anxious" and the parents were "moderately stressed" based on the overall mean scores on the PSS: NICU and the mean scores on the subscales of the scale. It was found that parents’ number of children, employment, infant gender, type of delivery, intensive care environment characteristics, parents' communication with health personnel, and health condition all influenced their scores on the STAI and PSS: NICU subscales.
Conclusion: Providing a holistic and family-centred approach to parents, the closest relatives of their infants who will create future generations as well as educational and counselling roles played by nurses and reducing stress and anxiety experienced by parents, will have a positive impact on neonatal health.

Giriş: Bebekleri yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde kaldığı süre boyunca anne babaların hayatlarındaki kaygı ve stres tüm aile bireylerini kötü etkileyebilir. Bu çalışma, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan ve oksijen desteği alan bebeklerin ebeveynlerinin stres ve kaygı düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 1 Ağustos 2020 – 01 Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında bebekleri olan 123 ebeveyn ile kesitsel desene dayalı olarak yapılmıştır. Veri toplamada Ebeveyn Bilgi Formu ve Bebek Bilgi Formu, Durumluluk ve Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği (DSK) ve YYBÜ: Anne Baba Stres Ölçeği (ABS:YYBÜ) kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: ABS:YYBÜ toplam puan ortalamaları ve ölçeğin alt ölçek puan ortalamalarına ve DSK puanlarına göre ebeveynlerin “orta derecede kaygılı” ve ebeveynlerin “orta derecede stresli” olduğu belirlendi. Anne ve babanın sahip olduğu çocuk sayısının, mesleğinin, bebeğin cinsiyetinin, doğum şeklinin, yoğun bakım ortamı özelliklerinin, anne babanın sağlık personeli ile iletişiminin ve bebeğin sağlık durumunun, anne ve baba stres ve anksiyete puanlarını etkilediği saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Gelecek nesilleri oluşturacak bebeklerinin en yakınları olan anne ve babalara bütüncül ve aile merkezli bir yaklaşım gösterilmesi, hemşirelerin oynadıkları eğitici ve danışmanlık rolleri ile anne babaların yaşadıkları stres ve kaygıların azaltılması ile yenidoğan sağlığını olumlu yönde etkilenecektir.
