The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal employment on child development and family functioning for families with preterm infants. Data were collected in the family's home (N = 67) when the infant was 3, 9, and 12 months of age. Maternal employment at 3 months had little effect on 9- and 12-month child mental or psychomotor development or on family cohesion, adaptability, or satisfaction. Maternal employment attitude/behavior consistency was a significant predictor of psychomotor development. Choice in the employment decision at 3 months was positively related to both mental and psychomotor development at 9 and 12 months for nonemployed mothers.
本研究的目的是调查母亲就业对早产婴儿家庭中儿童发育和家庭功能的影响。当婴儿3个月、9个月和12个月大时,在其家中收集数据(N = 67)。婴儿3个月时母亲的就业状况对其9个月和12个月时的心理或心理运动发育以及家庭凝聚力、适应性或满意度几乎没有影响。母亲就业态度/行为的一致性是心理运动发育的一个重要预测因素。对于未就业的母亲,3个月时就业决策的选择与9个月和12个月时的心理和心理运动发育均呈正相关。
