Considerable concern has been expressed that separation of mother and child following birth may interfere with early parent-child relationship and give to problems in the later psychosocial development of the child. In earlier publications we have evaluated the aspects of parents' emotional state and parent-infant interaction in 43 high-risk babies, hospitalized at birth for a period of one-three months. Recurrent interactive patterns and psychosomatic disturbances have been defined in their peculiarities. In this study we expose the results of our experience with 35 infants having the same characteristics as the preceding group, after adopting measures which elicit the parents' participation in looking after the baby in NICU and after studying methodologies of intervention during the follow-up programs which assess the neuropsychological conditions of the infants and their relations with their parents. We have observed a significant reduction of psychosomatic disturbances in the second group (20% vs 64%).
人们一直非常担心出生后母婴分离可能会干扰早期的亲子关系，并给孩子日后的心理社会发展带来问题。在早期的出版物中，我们评估了43名高危婴儿的父母情绪状态和亲子互动情况，这些婴儿出生后住院一至三个月。已经确定了反复出现的互动模式和身心障碍的特点。在本研究中，我们公布了对35名具有与前一组相同特征的婴儿的研究结果，此前我们采取了一些措施，促使父母参与新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）照顾婴儿，并研究了后续项目中的干预方法，这些项目评估了婴儿的神经心理状况及其与父母的关系。我们观察到第二组的身心障碍显著减少（20%对64%）。
