Abstract
A study was conducted to examine factors associated with anxiety in mothers of premature infants. Demographic information was obtained from 40 mothers of premature infants who were then tested for anxiety and problem-solving ability with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Means-Ends Problem-Solving Procedure. Neither the mother's past pregnancy outcomes nor her current infant's physical status had an effect on maternal anxiety levels. The difference in the level of anxiety experienced by mothers grouped according to problem-solving ability (t = 2.94; P = 0.0053) was significant. Mothers with good problem-solving ability acknowledged experiencing higher levels of anxiety than did mothers with lower problem-solving abilities.
