Maternal attachment to the fetus is an emotional bond and the unique relationship of the pregnant woman to the fetus. Attachment is an important predictor of mental health. One of the psychological factors affecting mental health is resilience and hope. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hope and resilience with promoting maternal attachment to the fetus during pregnancy.
This is a descriptive correlational study performed on 386 pregnant women referred to community health centers in Isfahan-Iran. The research instruments were standard questionnaires of Hope Snyder, Conor and Davidson Resilience, and maternal attachment to the fetus of Cranley. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation test.
The results showed that there is no significant relationship between the overall score of maternal attachment to the fetus and the total score of hope ( = 0.73). The overall score of maternal attachment to the fetus was positively and significantly correlated with hope subscales, including thinking ( = 0.004) and path ( = 0.047). The overall score of maternal attachment to the fetus was positively and significantly correlated with the overall score of resilience ( = 0.03). There was a correlation between the dimensions of maternal attachment to the fetus, including interaction with the fetus ( = 0.003) and self-sacrifice ( = 0.015). Maternal role acceptance ( = 0.001) was positively and significantly correlated with hope thinking subscale. Self-sacrifice ( = 0.027) and differentiation between self and fetus ( = 0.035) were positively and positively correlated with hope path subscales. Self-sacrifice ( = 0.03) and attribution to fetus ( = 0.001) had a significant positive relationship with resilience.
The results of this study showed that hope and resiliency are positively and significantly associated with maternal attachment to the fetus during pregnancy. Hope and resiliency are positively and significantly associated with maternal attachment to the fetus, thus increasing the expectation of pregnant mothers to increase their attachment to their fetus. As a result, they are paying more attention to prenatal care, which can guarantee the health of their mothers and their babies.
母亲与胎儿的情感联结是一种情感纽带，是孕妇与胎儿之间独特的关系。情感联结是心理健康的重要预测指标。影响心理健康的心理因素之一是心理韧性和希望。本研究的目的是确定孕期希望和心理韧性与促进母亲与胎儿情感联结之间的关系。
这是一项描述性相关性研究，对转诊至伊朗伊斯法罕社区卫生中心的386名孕妇进行。研究工具包括斯奈德希望量表、康纳和戴维森心理韧性量表以及克兰利母亲与胎儿情感联结量表。数据采用描述性统计和皮尔逊相关检验进行分析。
结果显示，母亲与胎儿情感联结的总分与希望总分之间无显著关系（=0.73）。母亲与胎儿情感联结的总分与希望子量表，包括思维（=0.004）和路径（=0.047）呈显著正相关。母亲与胎儿情感联结的总分与心理韧性总分呈显著正相关（=0.03）。母亲与胎儿情感联结的维度之间存在相关性，包括与胎儿的互动（=0.003）和自我牺牲（=0.015）。母亲角色接受度（=0.001）与希望思维子量表呈显著正相关。自我牺牲（=0.027）和自我与胎儿的区分（=0.035）与希望路径子量表呈显著正相关。自我牺牲（=0.03）和对胎儿的归因（=0.001）与心理韧性呈显著正相关。
本研究结果表明，希望和心理韧性与孕期母亲与胎儿的情感联结呈显著正相关。希望和心理韧性与母亲与胎儿的情感联结呈显著正相关，从而增加了孕妇母亲增强与胎儿情感联结的期望。结果，她们更加关注产前护理，这可以保证母亲和婴儿的健康。
