Early maternal resolution with preterm birth was assessed at one month corrected age ( CA ), and potential maternal and infant characteristics that may be associated with early resolution were examined. Fifty‐five mothers of preterm infants (≤34 weeks) participated. Data regarding pregnancy, prenatal risk, delivery, infant's medical risk, maternal well‐being status, and infant's early developmental status were collected. Resolution was examined using the Reaction to Diagnosis Interview ( RDI ). A total of 38.2% of the mothers were classified as resolved. Only completion of antenatal corticosteroids ( ACS ) treatment and high prenatal risk significantly predicted maternal resolution. Early maternal resolution of preterm birth is associated with early knowledge regarding the preterm birth.
