Some mothers find it hard to relate to their new baby, and such failure may have long-term effects on the infant. This has been a neglected area of research. A new simple 8 item self-rating mother-to-infant bonding questionnaire has been designed to assess the feelings of a mother towards her new baby. A principal components and reliability analysis demonstrated an alpha score of 0.71. One hundred and sixty two women filled in the Kennerley Blues Scale, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) the Highs Scale and the new Mother to Infant Bonding Scale on day 3 postpartum. Twelve weeks later they were sent the EPDS and the Bonding scales again. One hundred and forty four returned all questionnaires. There was a strong correlation between the Bonding scores at 3 days and at 12 weeks (r(s)=0.54 p<0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that those with raised Blues scores had worse, and those with raised Highs scores had better bonding at 3 days. Those with raised EPDS scores at 3 days (13 and over) had worse bonding scores in the "first few weeks" (median 4 versus 1, p = 0.028), as recalled at 12 weeks. This simple questionnaire is acceptable for use with mothers and gives significant correlations with their early mood.
一些母亲发现很难与自己刚出生的宝宝建立亲密关系，而这种失败可能会对婴儿产生长期影响。这一直是一个被忽视的研究领域。一种新的简单的包含8个条目的母婴亲密关系自评问卷已被设计出来，用于评估母亲对自己新生婴儿的感受。主成分分析和信度分析显示其阿尔法系数为0.71。162名女性在产后第3天填写了肯纳利抑郁量表、爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）、欣快量表和新的母婴亲密关系量表。12周后，再次向她们发放EPDS量表和亲密关系量表。144人返还了所有问卷。产后3天和12周时的亲密关系得分之间存在很强的相关性（r(s)=0.54，p<0.001）。多元回归分析表明，产后3天抑郁量表得分较高的母亲亲密关系较差，而欣快量表得分较高的母亲亲密关系较好。产后3天爱丁堡产后抑郁量表得分在13分及以上的母亲，在12周回忆时，其“最初几周”的亲密关系得分较差（中位数为4分对1分，p = 0.028）。这个简单的问卷适用于母亲群体，并且与她们早期的情绪有显著的相关性。
