The experimental instrument for intervention was a structured nursing education program developed on the basis of previous studies and advises of expert group. The measurement tool for state anxiety was the one that was developed by Spielberger and translated by Kim. The tool for belief on parental role was the one that was developed by Melnyk(1994) and amended according to the Korean parental emotion.
Results : The degree of state anxiety of the experimental group was decreased significantly more than that of the control group(p=0.016). The degree of belief of parental role of the experimental group was increased significantly more than that of the control group(p=0.004).
