The transition to parenthood brings with it challenges to a couple's relationship, which in turn are likely to negatively impact coparenting and overall family process. The focus of the current study was to examine the effects of the Bringing Baby Home psycho-educational intervention at the first postintervention follow-up for promoting positive coparenting and family process within the mother-father-baby family system. Expectant parents (N = 181) were recruited from the greater Seattle area to participate in a longitudinal random clinical trials study. Families were randomly assigned to a control, workshop, or workshop plus support group. Observational coding indexed both parent and baby contribution to family interaction during the Lausanne Triadic Play procedure. Principal components analysis was used to create summary factors describing the family play. Results of intent-to-treat analyses indicated that the Bringing Baby Home program was successful in promoting less competition during family play. There also was an effect of workshop timing, suggesting that fathers who took the workshop prebirth were less likely to exhibit intrusiveness during mother-baby focused play than those who received it postbirth. Implications for promoting the formation of positive family-level relations are discussed.
为人父母带来了夫妻关系的挑战,这反过来又可能对共同养育和整体家庭进程产生负面影响。本研究的重点是在第一次干预后随访时,检查 Bringing Baby Home 心理教育干预对促进母婴家庭系统中积极的共同养育和家庭进程的影响。从大西雅图地区招募了准父母(N=181)参加一项纵向随机临床试验研究。家庭被随机分配到对照组、研讨会组或研讨会加支持小组。观察性编码记录了在洛桑三联游戏程序中父母和婴儿对家庭互动的贡献。主成分分析用于创建描述家庭游戏的综合因素。意向治疗分析的结果表明,Bringing Baby Home 项目成功地促进了家庭游戏中竞争的减少。研讨会时间也有影响,表明在母亲-婴儿焦点游戏中,产前参加研讨会的父亲比产后参加研讨会的父亲表现出侵入性的可能性更小。讨论了促进积极家庭层面关系形成的意义。
