Effects of a Parenting Skills Training Program on Maternal Self-Efficacy, Perceived Social Support, and Infant Development in Mothers of Preterm Infants Aged 6-12 Months

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a structured parenting skills training intervention can improve maternal parenting self-efficacy, perceived social support, and infant developmental outcomes in mothers of preterm infants aged 6-12 months (corrected age). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a parenting skills training intervention improve maternal parenting self-efficacy? Does the intervention increase mothers' perceived social support and positively influence infant developmental levels? Researchers will compare mothers who receive the parenting skills training intervention with a control group receiving standard care to determine whether the intervention leads to greater improvements in maternal and infant outcomes. Participants will: Complete baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments of parenting self-efficacy and perceived social support Have their infants assessed using standardized developmental evaluation tools Participate in a structured, home-based parenting skills training program consisting of multiple sessions (intervention group only) Take part in semi-structured interviews before and after the intervention to share their experiences and perceived needs
