The birth and hospitalization of a premature child has been documented as one of the situations that generates the greatest psychological and emotional impact. The objective is to evaluate indicators of anxiety and depression in mothers with premature infants hospitalized in a NICU, together with the evaluation of indicators of bonding interaction. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive study of comparative scope was carried out. Fifty-five mothers with children born prematurely were studied. Information was collected from the Perinatal Psychological Interview in NICU and the HADS Scale. Among the main results, a decrease in anxiety and depression indicators is observed during the child's hospitalization period, intervening in a significant and positive way, being able to see and hold their baby, along with the possibility of providing their own breast milk. These results are encouraging for the development of bonding in high-risk hospitalization situations.
Keywords: anxiety, depression, bonding interaction, prematurity, breastfeeding.
