To establish psychometric properties of Baby Care Questionnaire (BCQ) in preterm infants, individual level stability of BCQ scores from NICU to 2 years corrected gestational age (CGA), and to determine whether early BCQ scores predict 2-year parenting styles.
In this prospective study, the BCQ assessed early parental structure and attunement at 4 time points between NICU and 2-years CGA. The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) at 2-years evaluated authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles. Intraclass correlations analyzed reliability and Reliable Change Index (RCI) studied individual-level stability. Multivariate regression examined predictive properties.
n=162 parent/preterm infant dyads were followed sequentially. Cronbach's α BCQ structure and attunement were 0.9 and 0.8. RCI showed high individual level stability of both constructs. Higher early structure scores were associated higher 2-year authoritative scores.
Early parenting characteristics beginning in the NICU are stable in infancy, measurable, reliable, and predictive of 2-year parenting styles. Early parental structure correlates with 2-year authoritative parenting style.
建立《婴儿护理问卷》（BCQ）在早产儿中的心理测量学特性，确定BCQ分数从新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）到矫正胎龄2岁时的个体水平稳定性，并确定早期BCQ分数是否能预测2岁时的养育方式。
在这项前瞻性研究中，BCQ在NICU和矫正胎龄2岁之间的4个时间点评估早期父母的结构和协调性。2岁时的《养育方式与维度问卷》（PSDQ）评估权威型、专制型和放任型养育方式。组内相关分析可靠性，可靠变化指数（RCI）研究个体水平稳定性。多变量回归检验预测特性。
对162对父母/早产儿进行了连续随访。BCQ结构和协调性的Cronbach's α系数分别为0.9和0.8。RCI显示这两个结构在个体水平上具有高度稳定性。早期结构得分越高，2岁时的权威得分越高。
从NICU开始的早期养育特征在婴儿期是稳定的、可测量的、可靠的，并且能预测2岁时的养育方式。早期父母结构与2岁时的权威养育方式相关。
