This short-term longitudinal study assessed the degree to which the frequency of fathers' visits with their preterm infants in the hospital was associated with the quality of ongoing and long-term fathering and infant development. Data on fathering and infant development were collected during the hospital stay, at discharge, at 8 months of age, and at 18 months of age, using both questionnaires and observational schedules. The frequency of visits was significantly correlated with more extensive and positive patterns of fathering at discharge and later periods. It was also associated with more positive perceptions of the infant, as well as with weight gain during hospitalization and psychosocial aspects of later infant development during the first 18 months. The discussion emphasized possible ways in which early paternal contact in the hospital might influence fathers, mothers, and infants. The frequency of paternal visits was high-lighted as a variable useful in predicting high-risk parenting.
这项短期纵向研究评估了父亲在医院探望早产婴儿的频率与持续的长期育儿质量及婴儿发育之间的关联程度。在婴儿住院期间、出院时、8个月大以及18个月大时，通过问卷调查和观察表收集了有关育儿及婴儿发育的数据。探望频率与出院时及之后更广泛、积极的育儿模式显著相关。它还与对婴儿更积极的认知、住院期间的体重增加以及婴儿出生后头18个月后期发育的心理社会方面有关。讨论强调了医院中早期父亲接触可能影响父亲、母亲和婴儿的几种可能方式。父亲探望频率被视为预测高危育儿的一个有用变量。
