Positive and clinically meaningful effects of early interventions were seen in some psychosocial aspects of mothers of preterm infants.

IMPLICATIONS OF KEY FINDINGS: Interventions for preterm infants and their mothers should consider including psychosocial support for mothers. If the intervention involves mothers, outcomes for both mothers and preterm infants should be measured to better understand the mechanisms for change.
