目的确定在出生时提供的增强信息包--欢迎亲子关系(W2P)工具包对(A)早期育儿经验和(B)教育资源和社区服务的使用的影响。方法采用两组后测设计，父母(父母)为对照组(n = 186人，接受标准出院信息)，先于干预组(n = 195人，接受W2P试剂盒)，多数为加拿大出生且受过高等教育。参与者在产后3个月完成了由调查员设计的在线或电话调查，产生了定量和定性的数据。W2P工具包包括以循证为基础的教育资源，关于婴儿喂养、儿童发展和针对父母的育儿技能，关于为新父母提供社区服务的信息，婴儿板书和小礼物。结果产后3个月，干预组对教育资源的知晓率和使用率明显高于对照组。干预组也更有可能为他们的婴儿意外去看医生，但两组在早期育儿经历或使用社区服务方面没有区别。收到W2P工具包的父母报告说，了解儿童发展和育儿的各个方面是有帮助的。结论在实践中，接受W2P工具包的父母报告了对教育资源的认识和使用增加，但两组参与者报告了作为新父母的相似经历和对社区服务的使用。在出生时提供增强的信息包可能是一种有用的健康促进策略。
Objectives To determine the effect of an enhanced information package, the Welcome to Parenthood® (W2P) Kit, given at birth on (a) early parenting experiences and (b) use of educational resources and community services. Methods Two-group, post-test only design, with parents (mothers and fathers) in comparison group (n = 186; received standard discharge information) recruited prior to intervention group (n = 195; received W2P Kit); most were Canadian-born and highly educated. Participants completed an investigator-designed, online or telephone survey at 3 months postpartum, which generated quantitative and qualitative data. The W2P Kit included evidence-based, educational resources about infant feeding, child development, and parenting skills that targeted mothers and fathers, information about community services for new parents, infant board book, and small gifts. Results At 3 months postpartum the intervention group was significantly more likely to be aware of, and to have used, the educational resources than the comparison group. The intervention group was also more likely to have made an unplanned visit to the doctor for their infant, but groups did not differ in early parenting experiences or use of community services. Parents who received the W2P Kit reported that it was helpful to learn about various aspects of child development and parenting. Conclusions for Practice Parents who received the W2P Kit reported increased awareness and use of educational resources, but participants in both groups reported similar experiences as a new parent and use of community services. An enhanced information package given at birth may be a useful health promotion strategy.
