This study examines the relationship between developmental outcomes of high-risk infants and parental perceptions and expectations. Parents of 209 consecutive high-risk infants were asked to provide their development interpretations and expectations before their infants received standard developmental assessments between April and October 1989. Moderate correlations between parents and professional assessments of motor and language skills were noted (p less than .05 to p less than .01). Most agreements occurred when infants were assessed as normal by professionals. Disagreements were common and occurred in all areas of development. These mismatches were not associated with gestational age at birth, neonatal complications, poverty, or estimates of parental experience. Professionals should take seriously any expressed developmental concerns by parents of high-risk infants. Expressed developmental concerns, however, cannot be relied on for developmental screening of high-risk infants.
本研究探讨了高危婴儿的发育结局与父母认知及期望之间的关系。1989年4月至10月期间，连续选取209名高危婴儿的父母，在其婴儿接受标准发育评估之前，请他们提供对婴儿发育的解读和期望。结果发现，父母对运动和语言技能的评估与专业评估之间存在中等程度的相关性（p小于0.05至p小于0.01）。大多数一致性出现在专业人员将婴儿评估为正常的情况下。分歧很常见，且出现在所有发育领域。这些差异与出生时的胎龄、新生儿并发症、贫困或对父母经验的评估无关。专业人员应认真对待高危婴儿父母表达的任何发育方面的担忧。然而，不能仅依靠父母表达的发育方面的担忧来对高危婴儿进行发育筛查。
