To compare maternal competence and responsiveness in mothers of late preterm infants (LPIs) with mothers of full-term infants.
A nonexperimental repeated-measures design was used to compare maternal competence and responsiveness in two groups of postpartum mothers and the relationship of the theoretical antecedents to these outcomes.
Urban academic medical center.
Mothers of late preterm infants (34-36, 6/7-weeks gestation) and mothers of term infants (≥37-weeks gestation), including primiparas and multiparas. Data were collected after delivery during the postpartum hospital stay and again at 6-weeks postpartum.
Descriptive and inferential analysis.
A total of 70 mothers completed both data collection periods: 49 term mothers and 21 LPI mothers. There were no differences between the two groups related to their perception of competence or responsiveness at delivery or 6-weeks postpartum. At 6-weeks postpartum, none of the assessed factors in the model was significantly related to competence or responsiveness.
The results, which may have been limited by small sample size, demonstrated no difference in the perceptions of LPI and term mothers related to competence or responsiveness. Maternal stress and support were significantly related to other factors in the model of maternal competence and responsiveness.
比较晚期早产儿母亲与足月儿母亲的育儿能力及反应性。
采用非实验性重复测量设计,比较两组产后母亲的育儿能力及反应性,以及理论先行因素与这些结果之间的关系。
城市学术医疗中心。
晚期早产儿(妊娠34 - 36⁶/₇周)母亲和足月儿(≥37周妊娠)母亲,包括初产妇和经产妇。在产后住院期间分娩后及产后6周再次收集数据。
描述性和推断性分析。
共有70位母亲完成了两个数据收集阶段:49位足月儿母亲和21位晚期早产儿母亲。两组在分娩时或产后6周对育儿能力或反应性的认知方面没有差异。在产后6周,模型中评估的因素均与育儿能力或反应性无显著相关性。
结果可能因样本量小而受到限制,显示晚期早产儿母亲和足月儿母亲在育儿能力或反应性认知方面没有差异。母亲的压力和支持与育儿能力及反应性模型中的其他因素显著相关。
