Mothers of 47 very low birth weight ( < 1,500 gram) infants were interviewed concerning their feelings and views about interactions with them. Interviews were conducted within the first ten days and again three to five weeks after birth. Over the first month of the baby's hospitalization, mothers significantly increased their pleasure in interacting, knowledge of infant cues, and perception that their infants were responding. The most frequently mentioned behaviors were maternal talking and touching and infant eye opening and body activity. Many mothers appeared to be utilizing their infants' behaviors as a guide for their own behaviors and reported that their infants' behaviors had specific meanings. However, an equal number of mothers were not ascribing meaning to their infants' behaviors and did not appear to be using behavioral cues. These findings have implications for interventions by neonatal nurses.
对47名极低出生体重（<1500克）婴儿的母亲就她们与婴儿互动的感受和看法进行了访谈。访谈在婴儿出生后的前十天内进行，出生三到五周后再次进行。在婴儿住院的第一个月里，母亲们在互动中的愉悦感、对婴儿暗示的了解以及认为婴儿有反应的认知都显著增加。最常提到的行为是母亲的交谈和触摸以及婴儿的睁眼和身体活动。许多母亲似乎将婴儿的行为作为自己行为的指导，并报告说婴儿的行为有特定含义。然而，同样数量的母亲没有赋予婴儿行为意义，也似乎没有利用行为暗示。这些发现对新生儿护士的干预措施具有启示意义。
