Relationship between mindfulness and maternal stress and mother - Infant bonding in neonatal intensive care unit.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Previous studies have shown the positive association of the mindfulness and various health conditions. This study investigated the relationship between mothers' dispositional mindfulness and level of stress and bonding in mothers with infants in the NICU. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was performed during 2019 on 140 mothers with newborns admitted to the NICUs in two hospitals in Qom city in Iran. The self-report measures of dispositional mindfulness, Parental Stressor Scale: NICU, and the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire were administered to mothers on the 2
resultsThe mean scores of mindfulness, stress, and bonding were 3.32 ± 0.52, 2.32 ± 0.77, and 0.47 ± 0.37, respectively. There was a statistically significant inverse relationship between total mindfulness score and stress (
conclusionsImprovement in mindfulness helps mothers to reduce stress and make better bonding with infants. It is recommended that mindfulness interventions use during pregnancy also after birth, especially for mothers that their infants admitted to in the NICUs.
