Women are increasingly using breastfeeding apps to facilitate and organize breastfeeding; however, no study has so far focused on maternal psychopathological risk and on the quality of dyadic exchanges in this field.
This preliminary, descriptive study aimed at evaluating levels of psychopathological symptoms (through the SCL-90/R) and for the quality of the interactions they have with their children during feeding (through the SVIA) in mothers who use breastfeeding apps with different grades of engagement.
Data analyses showed that mothers with a mild use of the apps present a higher quality of dyadic interactions during feeding and lower psychopathological risk.
The cross-sectional and descriptive nature of this study does not allow any causal conclusions. However, results suggest that the higher the engagement and use of breastfeeding apps, the lower the quality of feeding interactions and the higher the maternal psychopathological risk.
越来越多的女性使用母乳喂养应用程序来促进和安排母乳喂养；然而，迄今为止尚无研究关注该领域的母亲心理病理风险以及母婴互动质量。
这项初步的描述性研究旨在评估使用不同参与程度母乳喂养应用程序的母亲的心理病理症状水平（通过SCL - 90/R）以及她们在喂养期间与孩子互动的质量（通过SVIA）。
数据分析表明，轻度使用应用程序的母亲在喂养期间具有更高质量的母婴互动以及更低的心理病理风险。
本研究的横断面和描述性性质不允许得出任何因果结论。然而，结果表明母乳喂养应用程序的参与度和使用程度越高，喂养互动质量越低，母亲心理病理风险越高。
