Material and Method: The sample of this cross-sectional study was composed of 150 parents who had the infants hospitalized at the neonatal intensive care unit of a private hospital between January 1-March 31, 2017 and agreed to participate voluntarily in the research. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the Individual Identification Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale and the Beck Depression Scale and were analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows 20.0. Findings: The average age of the parents was 29,33 ± 5,990 years (min: 18, max: 52). 83,3% of the parents were mothers of the infants and 38,0% of the parents were high school graduates. 32,7% of newborns were premature babies, 33,3% of them were hospitalized due to respiratory distress and the duration of hospitalization was one week or more for 40,7% of the newborns. Total mean scores for the participants on State Anxiety Scale, Trait Anxiety Scale and Beck Depression Scale were found to be 45,13 ± 9,459, 44,66 ± 7,266 and 11,50 ± 10,626, respectively. A weak positive correlation was found between the anxiety levels and depression symptoms among the parents. Conclusion: Despite that the families were found to be moderately anxious in the study, most of them did not show signs of depression.
