The initial attachment of three mothers to three premature infants weighing less than 1500 g was assessed by observation of the mother's behaviour during visits to her child in the hospital nursery. Interactions of mothers and infants were compared with those of nurses and infants. Premature infants, during a stay in hospital of approximately 7 weeks, have to adapt to up to 70 different nurses and receive generally little contact stimulation from them. Mothers change in their interactional behaviour over time but show persistent individual differences in amount of touching, smiling and talking to their infants. Follow-up investigation will determine if the maternal behaviour as demonstrated in the nursery is predictive of later parenting disorders.
通过观察三位母亲在医院育儿室看望体重不足1500克的早产儿时的行为,评估了她们与三个早产儿之间最初的情感联结。将母婴之间的互动与护士和婴儿之间的互动进行了比较。早产儿在住院大约7周的时间里,不得不适应多达70位不同的护士,并且通常很少从她们那里得到接触性刺激。母亲们的互动行为会随着时间而变化,但在触摸、对婴儿微笑和交谈的频率上表现出持续的个体差异。后续调查将确定在育儿室中表现出的母亲行为是否能预测日后的育儿问题。
