OBJECTIVE
The aim of the current exploratory study was to examine the relationships between maternal relationship style, paediatric health care use and infant health variables in a sample of middle-class and ethnically diverse mother-infant dyads.
METHODS
An initial cross-sectional cohort study obtained demographic and self-report data on mothers' relationship styles. As an extension of the original study, infants' patient files were reviewed for the year following initial recruitment to obtain data regarding the use of paediatric health care services and infant health. The final sample included 64 mothers and their infants.
RESULTS
Correlational analyses revealed that mothers' higher endorsement of a dismissive relationship style were associated with fewer acute care visits and fewer reported infant illnesses.
CONCLUSIONS
Compared with other relationship styles, mothers who highly endorsed a dismissive relationship style tended to use fewer acute paediatric health care services and reported fewer infant health problems. However, further longitudinal research is needed to clarify these relationships.
目的
本探索性研究旨在考察中产阶级且种族多样的母婴二元组样本中，母亲的关系模式、儿童医疗保健利用情况与婴儿健康变量之间的关系。
方法
最初的横断面队列研究收集了母亲关系模式的人口统计学和自我报告数据。作为原始研究的扩展，在初次招募后的一年里对婴儿的病历进行了审查，以获取有关儿童医疗保健服务利用情况和婴儿健康的数据。最终样本包括64位母亲及其婴儿。
结果
相关性分析显示，母亲对轻视型关系模式的认可度较高与较少的急性护理就诊次数以及较少的婴儿疾病报告相关。
结论
与其他关系模式相比，高度认可轻视型关系模式的母亲往往较少使用急性儿童医疗保健服务，且报告的婴儿健康问题也较少。然而，需要进一步的纵向研究来阐明这些关系。
