Objective To investigate the psychological states and their influencing factors in parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods The self-designed general information questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data, and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the states of anxiety and depression of the parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to ICU between June 1 and November 29, 2013. Results A total of 152 parents were included in this investigation. The average score of SAS was 39.45±8.53. The average score of SDS was 43.28±10.76. Univariate analysis found that parents with lower educational level, poorer family income, positive family history and countryside residence might have higher score of SAS, while parents with Han nationality, poorer family income and family history would have higher score of SDS. Multivariate analysis discovered that living condition and family history were related to anxiety status. However, depression state was influenced by nationality, family income and family history. Conclusion A considerable number of parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to ICU have anxiety or depression. And nationality, family income, family history and living condition are the major risk factors.
