This longitudinal study examined the negative impact of postnatal bulimic symptoms on parenting behavior.
Ninety-one Chinese mothers were assessed with self-report questionnaires during pregnancy (T1) and telephone interviewed at 6 months (T2) and 1 year postnatal (T3).
Bivariate correlation analyses showed that parenting behavior at T3 was correlated with maternal-fetal attachment at T1 and maternal bulimic symptoms at T2. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses further demonstrated that bulimic symptoms at T2 predicted maternal concern at T3 above and beyond the effects of maternal-fetal attachment at T1. However, bulimic symptoms at T2 did not uniquely predict maternal restrictiveness at T3.
To facilitate effective parenting, examining maternal eating disturbance alone may not be sufficient to understand fully its impact on parenting behavior. This area of research should move toward identifying how multiple risk factors work together to interfere with the functioning of the parental role.
这项纵向研究考察了产后贪食症状对养育行为的负面影响。
91名中国母亲在孕期接受了自我报告问卷调查（T1），并在产后6个月（T2）和产后1年（T3）接受了电话访谈。
双变量相关分析表明，T3时的养育行为与T1时的母婴依恋以及T2时的母亲贪食症状相关。分层多元回归分析进一步表明，T2时的贪食症状在T1时母婴依恋影响之外，还能预测T3时母亲的关注。然而，T2时的贪食症状并不能唯一预测T3时母亲的限制行为。
为促进有效的养育，仅考察母亲的饮食紊乱可能不足以充分理解其对养育行为的影响。该研究领域应朝着确定多种风险因素如何共同作用以干扰父母角色功能的方向发展。
