✦ Synopsis


This study examined the effects of eight 40-minute interaction coaching sessions on the motherinfant interaction patterns of mother-preterm infant dyads. Thirty-five preterm infants and their mothers were matched for sex and then were assigned randomly to a treatment and a no-treatment control group.

Behavior counts and ratings of maternal and infant interactive behavior (Interaction Rating Scale;Field, 1980) were obtained from naturalistic home observations, precoaching, postcoaching, and at a 2-month follow-up. It was hypothesized that coaching, which was intended to facilitate more sensitive responding by mothers, would positively influence mother-infant interaction and mothers' knowledge of infant development. The only marginally significant difference between the groups that emerged over time was in knowledge of infant development, in which the treatment group surpassed the control group.

The nonsignificant findings are discussed in terms of the possible natural resiliency of this group and the need for longer-term follow-up to evaluate the effects of intervention and the sensitivity of the rating scale used. RESUMI?: Cette etude examine les efcts de 8 sessions prCparCes de 40 minutes sur les schemas d'interaction mere-enfant dans des dyades mere-enfant nC avant terme. 35 couples enfants nes avant terme et leur mew ont 6te form& et ensuite assignes au hasard soit & un groupe de traitement, soit a un groupe de contrBle sans traitement . Un recensement et une evaluation du comportement interactif mere-enfant (Interaction Rating Scale; Field, 1980) ont etC obtenus & partir d'observations menCes dans un environnement nature1 ii la maison, avant preparation, aprts preparation, et apres une surveillance a 1'Lge de 2 mois.

L'hypothCse Ctait que cette prtparation, dont le but Ctait de faciliter des reactions plus sensibles chez la mere, influencerait de facon positive l'interaction mere-enfant, et une connaissance du dkveloppement du nourrisson part la mere. La seule difference significative entre les groupes est apparue dans la connaissance du dkveloppement de l'enfant, connaissance meilleure dans le groupe de traitement que dans le groupe de contr8le. Les dtcouvertes mineures sont discutees en terme d'une flexibilite naturelle possible de ce groupe et du besoin d'une surveillance plus longue pour Cvaluer les effets de l'intervention et I'exactitude de I'echelle d'haluation utiliste.

RESUMEN: Este estudio examin6 10s efectos de ocho sesiones de cuarenta minutos de interaccion dirigida, sobre 10s patrones de interaccion madre-hijo en parejas de madres y nifios prematuros. Se emparejaron 35 bebCs prematuros y sus madres seg6n el sex0 y, entonces, fueron asignados a un tratamiento y a un grupo de control sin tratamiento. Se obtuvientron recuentos de la conducta y una escala de la conducta interactiva de la madre y el bebC, (Interaction Rating Scale;Field, 1980), gracias a observaciones naturales en la casa, antes de la preparacion, despues de la misma y en una revisidn al cab0 de dos meses.
