โœฆ Synopsis


The responsiveness of mothers to their infants has been found to make an important contribution to children's development. Mothers' cognitive ability, emotional state, and life stresses may influence their responsiveness, as may the medical condition of their infants. The patterns of influence may vary between groups of children with different biological risk conditions and should be examined carefully to determine intervention points for different groups.

Forty mothers and their 3-month-old (corrected age) infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) were observed in free play. Mothers' depressive symptoms, cognitive skills, and the degree of infants' IVH were assessed and expected to be influences on mothers' responsiveness. Results indicated that mothers' depressive symptoms and cognitive skills were associated with their responsiveness, but that depressive symptoms were the stronger predictor. Post hoc analyses suggested that socioeconomic status and depressive symptoms may have related effects on mothers' behavior.

L'aptitude cognitive des mbres, I'ktat tmotionnel et les stress de la vie peuvent influencer leur rtaction, ainsi que le peut la condition mtdicale de leurs nourrissons. Les patterns d'influence peuvent varier selon les groupes d'enfants ayant des conditions de risque biologique diffkrentes, et devraient h r e soigneusement examints pour determiner les points d'intervention pour les diffkrents groupes.

Quarante mbres et leurs bCb6s de 3 mois (gge corrigt) atteints d'htmorragie intraventriculaire (IVH) ont 136 observts durant des skances de jeu. Les symptbmes dtpressifs chez les mtres, leurs capacitb cognitives, et le degrt d'IVH des btbts ont t t t tvaluts et supposes influencer la rtaction des meres. Les rtsultats indiquent que les symptbmes dtpressifs chez les mtres et les capacitts cognitives ttaient associts A leur rtaction, mais que les symptames dtpressifs constituaient un facteur de prtdiction plus fort. Des analyses post hoc ont suggtrt que le statut socio-tconomique et les symptames dtpressifs peuvent avoir des effets apparentts sur le comportement des mtres.

RESUMEN: Se ha determinado que el afecto materno hacia el infante es una contribucibn importante al desarrollo del niiio. La habilidad cognitiva de las madres, asi como su estado emocional y presibn de vida pueden influir en ese afecto, como tambitn la condicibn mtdica de sus hijos. Los patrones de influencia pueden variar entre grupos de niiios con diferentes riesgos biolbgicos, por lo que deben ser examinados con cuidado para determinar 10s puntos de diferentes grupos.

Cuarenta madres y sus infantes de 3 meses (edad rectificada) on hemorragia intraventricular fueron observados durante el libre juego. Los sintomas de depresibn y las habilidades cognitivas de las madres, asi

## Abstract In this study, we investigated how the birth of a very low birth weight preterm (VLBW) infant influences the motherโ€“infant interaction at 3 months. We also focused on the impact of the infant's neurobiological risk and maternal anxiety, and their interaction. The comparison of the VLBW

Children of highly anxious mothers are at risk for developmental difficulties including anxiety disorders, and "anxious maternal behavior" and disturbed mother-infant interactions have been implicated in the transmission of risk. In this article, we describe interactions between mothers who are high
