Preterm birth has a critical influence on interactive, communicative, and expressive child behaviour, particularly during the first years of life. Few studies have stressed the assessment of mother-father-child interaction in families with preterm children, generating contradictory results. The present study wished to develop these fields: (i) comparing the quality of family interactions between families with preterm children and families with children born at full term; (ii) observing the development of family interactions after six months in the families with children born preterm; (iii) assessing family and contextual factors, as parental stress and social support, in parents of preterm children in order to observe their influence on the quality of family interactions. 78 families are recruited: 39 families with preterm children ( = 19,8 months, SD = 11,05) and 39 families with full-term children ( = 19,66 months; SD = 13,10). Results show that families with preterm children display a low quality of mother-father-child interactions. After six months, family interactions result is generally stable, except for some LTP-scales reflecting a hard adjustment of parenting style to the evolution of the child. In families with preterm children, the parenting stress seemed to be correlated with the quality of mother-father-child interactions.
早产对儿童的互动、交流和表达行为有重大影响，特别是在生命的头几年。很少有研究强调评估早产儿家庭中的父母-子女互动，得出的结果也相互矛盾。本研究旨在拓展以下领域：（i）比较早产儿家庭和足月产家庭的家庭互动质量；（ii）观察早产儿童家庭在六个月后的家庭互动发展；（iii）评估早产儿父母的家庭和环境因素，如父母压力和社会支持，观察它们对家庭互动质量的影响。共招募了 78 个家庭：39 个早产儿家庭（=19.8 个月，标准差=11.05）和 39 个足月产家庭（=19.66 个月；标准差=13.10）。结果表明，早产儿家庭的父母-子女互动质量较低。六个月后，家庭互动结果通常较为稳定，除了一些 LTP 量表反映出育儿方式对孩子成长的艰难调整。在早产儿家庭中，育儿压力似乎与父母-子女互动质量相关。
