目的:母亲围产期抑郁与母婴关系受损有关。已经报道了这种受损结合的不利影响。这项研究旨在调查和比较新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)和健康新生儿母亲的产后抑郁症状和母婴联系。其次,是探索两组的抑郁症状和结合之间的关联。
方法:在本案例研究中,在希腊同一围产期中心分娩的产后早期母亲被招募参加。病例包括88名在NICU住院的新生儿母亲,而对照组是100名足月健康新生儿的母亲。为了收集数据,使用了包括人口统计学和围产期变量的问卷。对于结合和出生后评估,母亲对婴儿的束缚量表,产后粘合问卷,使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表。
结果:NICU母亲与对照组的结合评分平均值差异有统计学意义(t=-2.696,P=0.008)。与对照组相比,NICU母亲与新生儿的关系得分较低,与对照组相比,抑郁得分较高(χ2=28.588,P=0.000)。两组的抑郁评分均与结合评分相关。
结论:NICU的入住对关系有影响,并在某种程度上与产妇产后心理健康相互作用,因此需要更多的研究。
结论:NICU的母亲比健康婴儿的母亲更容易受到伤害,因为她们表现出更低的母婴联系和更高的抑郁评分。这些弱势母亲的支持以及NICU工作人员促进母婴联系至关重要。
OBJECTIVE: Maternal perinatal depression has been associated with impaired
mother-infant bonding. The adverse effect of this impaired bonding has been reported. This study aimed to investigate and compare the posnatal depressive symptoms and the
mother-infant bonding in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and of mothers with healthy newborns respectively. Secondly, was to explore the association between depressive symptomatology and bonding in both groups.
METHODS: In this
case study, mothers in the early pospartum period who gave birth in the same perinatal center of Greece were recruited to participate. The cases consisted of 88 mothers of neonates who were hospitalized in the NICU and controls were 100 mothers of full-term healthy neonates. For the collection of the data questionnaires including demographics and perinatal variables were used. For the bonding and posnatal assessment, the
Mother to Infant Bonding Scale, the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the mean of bonding scores of NICU mothers and the control group (t = -2.696, P = 0.008). NICU mothers presented lower scores in bonding with the newborn compared to the control group and presented higher depression scores compared to those of controls (χ2 = 28.588, P = 0.000). The depression scores were correlated with bonding scores in both groups.
CONCLUSIONS: A NICU admission has an impact on bonding and in some way interacts with maternal pospartum mental health, therefore more research is needed.
CONCLUSIONS: NICU mothers have been presented as more vulnerable than mothers of healthy infants since they expressed a lower mother-infant bonding and higher depression scores. The support of these vulnerable mothers and the facilitation of
mother-infant bonding by the NICU staff is of utmost importance.
