Premature birth has been associated with multiple adverse maternal psychological outcomes that include depression, anxiety, and trauma as well as adverse effects on maternal coping ability and parenting style. Infants who are premature are more likely to have poorer cognitive and developmental functioning and, thus, may be harder to parent, both as infants and as they get older. In response to these findings, a number of educational and behavioral interventions have been developed that target maternal psychological functioning, parenting, and aspects of the parent-infant relationship. The current study aimed to both develop and evaluate a treatment that integrates, for the first time, effective interventions for reducing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and enhancing maternal-infant interactions. Conclusions from the study indicate that the intervention is feasible, able to be implemented with a high level of fidelity, and is rated as highly satisfactory by participants. Though encouraging, these findings are preliminary, and future studies should strive to reproduce these findings with a larger sample size and a comparison group.
早产与多种不良的产妇心理后果相关，包括抑郁、焦虑和创伤，以及对产妇应对能力和育儿方式的不良影响。早产儿更有可能认知和发育功能较差，因此，无论是婴儿期还是长大后，都可能更难养育。针对这些发现，已经开发了许多教育和行为干预措施，针对母亲的心理功能、育儿和母婴关系的各个方面。本研究旨在开发和评估一种治疗方法，该方法首次整合了减少创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状和增强母婴互动的有效干预措施。该研究的结论表明，该干预措施是可行的，能够以高度的保真度实施，并得到参与者的高度评价。虽然令人鼓舞，但这些发现是初步的，未来的研究应该努力用更大的样本量和对照组复制这些发现。
