Improvements in congenital heart surgery have resulted in an increasing number of infants surviving, but there remain concerns about home care and difficulties experienced by mothers. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of nursing care and follow-up for the mothers of infants undergoing congenital heart surgery on anxiety, care burden, and self-efficacy. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study included 40 mothers whose infants had undergone congenital heart surgery. Nursing care was provided to the mothers of the infants included in the study group through a total of six home follow-ups until the third month after surgery, guided by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association and Nursing Diagnosis System and Nursing Interventions Classification. Data were collected through Care Needs Identification Form, Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Zarit Burden Interview, and Parental Self-efficacy Scale. The mean State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Zarit Burden Interview scores for the mothers in the intervention group decreased, while the mean Parental Self-efficacy Scale scores increased as the follow-up progressed and it was determined that by the third month, the difference between the mothers in the intervention group and those in the control group in terms of post-test State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Zarit Burden Interview, and Parental Self-efficacy Scale had become statistically significant. Providing appropriate nursing care practices to the mothers of the infants had undergone congenital heart surgery in home setting has the potential to decrease the problems experienced by the mothers.

先天性心脏病手术的改进导致越来越多的婴儿存活，但人们仍然对家庭护理和母亲遇到的困难感到担忧。本研究旨在评估护理和随访对接受先天性心脏病手术的婴儿母亲的焦虑、护理负担和自我效能的影响。该研究被设计为准实验研究，具有前测和后测对照组设计。该研究纳入了 40 名婴儿接受过先天性心脏病手术的母亲。在北美护理诊断协会和护理诊断系统和护理干预分类的指导下，对研究组婴儿的母亲进行了总共六次家庭随访，直至术后第三个月。通过护理需求识别表、斯皮尔伯格状态特质焦虑量表、扎里特负担访谈和家长自我效能量表收集数据。干预组中母亲的平均状态特质焦虑量表和 Zarit Burden 访谈得分下降，而平均父母自我效能量表得分随着随访的进展而增加，并且确定到第三个月，干预组和对照组的母亲在测试后状态特质焦虑量表、扎里特负担访谈和父母自我效能量表方面均具有统计学显着性。为在家中接受先天性心脏病手术的婴儿的母亲提供适当的护理实践有可能减少母亲遇到的问题。
