Research indicates that the early attachment patterns of babies could influence their socio-emotional development and prevent the emergence of problematic behaviours in the child later in life. Many studies in the field of early attachment interventions have promoted a secure attachment bond between mother and infant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an early pilot intervention programme designed to promote a secure attachment bond in mother-infant dyads belonging to a population seeking regular treatment at urban health centres in Santiago, Chile.
Primipara mothers were randomly assigned to two intervention conditions: a secure attachment promotion programme (experimental group = 43) or an educational talk (control group = 29). The Strange Situation Assessment was used to collect data on the attachment patterns of babies.
The results show that after the intervention, there were more babies with secure attachment in the experimental group than in the control group.
These findings represent a preliminary step towards evaluating interventions aimed at promoting secure attachment in Chilean mother-child dyads. While the effect of the intervention is not significant, the effect size obtained is respectable and consistent with other meta-analytic findings.
研究表明，婴儿早期的依恋模式可能会影响其社会情感发展，并防止儿童在日后生活中出现问题行为。早期依恋干预领域的许多研究都促进了母婴之间安全的依恋关系。本研究的目的是评估一项早期试点干预计划的有效性，该计划旨在促进智利圣地亚哥城市健康中心寻求常规治疗的人群中母婴二元组之间的安全依恋关系。
初产妇母亲被随机分配到两种干预条件下：安全依恋促进计划（实验组=43）或教育讲座（对照组=29）。采用陌生情境评估法收集婴儿依恋模式的数据。
结果显示，干预后，实验组中具有安全依恋的婴儿比对照组更多。
这些发现是朝着评估旨在促进智利母婴二元组安全依恋的干预措施迈出的初步一步。虽然干预效果不显著，但获得的效应大小是可观的，并且与其他荟萃分析结果一致。
