Tested a comprehensive model of factors predicting maternal visitation with hospitalized children. Subjects were 86 mothers who completed the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, a 12-item attachment measure derived from the Waters and Deane Attachment Q-sort, and a demographic questionnaire. Children were 10 months to 4 years old (37 female, 49 male) and hospitalized for acute nonsurgical illness. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that, of the subset of variables tested (SES, number of children at home, gender, age, number of previous hospitalizations, state anxiety, and security of attachment), quality of attachment was the only significant predictor of maternal visitation rate. Mothers who reported that their children displayed insecure attachment behaviors maintained a significantly lower rate of visitation than mothers who reported that their children displayed secure attachment behaviors. Results of this study highlight the importance of understanding parent-child attachment in predicting maternal visitation when a child is hospitalized.
测试了一个预测母亲探望住院儿童的综合因素模型。研究对象为86名母亲，她们完成了斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表、一份源自沃特斯和迪恩依恋Q分类法的12项依恋测量量表以及一份人口统计学问卷。儿童年龄在10个月至4岁之间（37名女性，49名男性），因急性非手术疾病住院。分层回归分析表明，在所测试的变量子集（社会经济地位、家中子女数量、性别、年龄、既往住院次数、状态焦虑和依恋安全性）中，依恋质量是母亲探望率的唯一显著预测因素。报告孩子表现出不安全依恋行为的母亲的探望率显著低于报告孩子表现出安全依恋行为的母亲。本研究结果凸显了在预测儿童住院时母亲的探望情况时，理解亲子依恋关系的重要性。
