Nonorganic failure to thrive (NOFTT) is characterized by physical and developmental retardation and a disturbed mother-infant relationship. This study sought to quantify differences in interactions between mother-NOFTT infant pairs and control mother-thriving infant pairs. Eleven mother-NOFTT infant dyads and 11 control mother-infant dyads were videotaped for 30 minutes through a one-way mirror. Mother and infant behaviors were evaluated for 21 behavioral categories: 12 maternal, 7 infant, and 2 mutual. Statistically significant differences were noted in five (24 percent) categories. The quantity of maternal and infant vocalizations and the responsiveness of the mother to the infant's vocal cues were strikingly reduced in the NOFTT dyads.
非器质性发育不良(NOFTT)的特征是身体和发育迟缓以及母婴关系紊乱。本研究旨在量化NOFTT母婴对与对照的健康母婴对之间互动的差异。通过单向镜对11对NOFTT母婴二元组和11对对照母婴二元组进行了30分钟的录像。对母婴行为进行了21个行为类别的评估:12个母亲行为类别、7个婴儿行为类别和2个相互行为类别。在5个(24%)类别中发现了具有统计学意义的差异。在NOFTT二元组中,母婴发声的数量以及母亲对婴儿声音线索的反应性显著降低。
