Interaction effect of parent NICU stress and attending mFICare clinical rounds on PTSD symptoms (a) and depression (b) after NICU discharge. Dotted lines indicate the 95% confidence interval for each group. a. Mothers with higher levels of NICU-related stress who participated in at least 2 daily rounds for their infant had lower post-discharge PPQ scores than similarly stressed mothers who did not; mothers with lower levels of NICU-related stress had relatively few PTSD symptoms, regardless of their participation in rounds (p = .022). b. A similar interaction pattern was found for maternal depression (EPDS) scores but did not reach statistical significance (p = .12)
