We investigated whether the use of humor as a coping device and psychological hardiness were related to IgA levels in the saliva and breast milk of mothers, and if these factors were related to the incidence of upper respiratory infection (URI) in the mothers and their newborns. Nineteen mothers volunteered to participate and met the qualifications; however, only 17 completed all phases of the study. Prior to the birth of their child, mothers filled out demographic questionnaires and the psychological inventories. Saliva and milk samples were taken within 1 week after delivery, and follow-up questionnaires were mailed out 2 months after delivery. Coping humor was inversely related to URI incidence in both the mothers and the infants. Hardiness was directly related to coping humor and inversely related to URI incidence in the infants. Older mothers had higher coping humor and hardiness scores and fewer URIs in themselves and their infants.
我们调查了将幽默作为应对手段的使用情况以及心理韧性是否与母亲唾液和母乳中的IgA水平相关，以及这些因素是否与母亲及其新生儿上呼吸道感染（URI）的发生率相关。19位母亲自愿参与并符合条件；然而，只有17位完成了研究的所有阶段。在孩子出生前，母亲们填写了人口统计学问卷和心理量表。在分娩后1周内采集唾液和乳汁样本，并在分娩后2个月寄出随访问卷。应对幽默与母亲和婴儿的URI发生率呈负相关。心理韧性与应对幽默呈正相关，与婴儿的URI发生率呈负相关。年龄较大的母亲应对幽默和心理韧性得分较高，她们自身及其婴儿的URI较少。
