In this longitudinal study, we examined how maternal bonding and psycho-social factors are associated with social-emotional problems in two-year-old children. Our data came from a birth cohort from which data were collected at four timepoints: prenatally during the third trimester, and postnatally at 3, 8 and 24 months. The participants were 1,667 mothers, of which 943 (56.6%) returned the questionnaire at each timepoint of the longitudinal study. The Children's social-emotional problems were examined using the Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment. According to linear regression analysis, maternal bonding difficulties at three and eight months, maternal expectations of the unborn baby during pregnancy, and maternal relationships within and outside the family were related to social-emotional problems in children of two years of age. The results highlight the importance of screening mothers who already prenatally have bonding problems or mothers who have bonding problems postnatally to provide effective and targeted intervention support.
在这项纵向研究中，我们研究了母婴联系和心理社会因素如何与两岁儿童的社会情感问题相关。我们的数据来自一个出生队列，在四个时间点收集数据：妊娠晚期、3 个月、8 个月和 24 个月。参与者为 1667 名母亲，其中 943 名（56.6%）在纵向研究的每个时间点返回了问卷。使用简短婴儿-学步儿社会情感评估来检查儿童的社会情感问题。根据线性回归分析，三个月和八个月时的母婴联系困难、母亲对胎儿的期望以及家庭内外的母婴关系与两岁儿童的社会情感问题有关。结果强调了对已经存在母婴联系问题的孕妇或产后母婴联系问题的母亲进行筛查的重要性，以便提供有效和有针对性的干预支持。
