✦ Synopsis
This study focused on the relationship between maternal recollected anxiety and the quality of mother-preterm infant interaction. In a observational study, 52 mothers and their preterm infants were videotaped at home in a standardized object-play interaction situation, at the infant's age of 6 months. Observations concentrated on different aspects of maternal behavior, including sensitive responsiveness, involvement, level of activity, and intrusiveness. Mothers were interviewed about their experiences during the period of neonatal intensive care and were, on the basis of their answers, divided into high-anxiety and low-anxiety mothers. In general, and independent of the infant's current interactive behavior and medical status, high-anxiety mothers were more intrusive and more active during interaction with their infants than were mothers who recalled little or no anxiety during the postnatal period.
RESUMEN: Este estudio se enfoca en la relacio ´n entre el estado de ansiedad del cual la madre se recuerda y la calidad de la interaccio ´n que ella tiene con su infante nacido prematuramente. En un estudio de observacio ´n, 52 madres y sus infantes de 6 meses de nacidos fueron grabados en video en casa en una situacio ´n estandarizada de interaccio ´n de objeto-juego. Las observaciones se concentraron en varios aspectos de la conducta materna, incluye ´ndose la sensibilidad, el involucramiento, el nivel de actividad y el entremetimiento. A las madres se les entrevisto ´acerca de sus experiencias durante el perı ´odo de cuidado intensivo del recie ´n nacido y, de acuerdo a sus respuestas, fueron divididas en dos grupos: las madres con un alto nivel de ansiedad y las que tenı ´an un bajo nivel de ansiedad. En general, e independientemente del estado me ´dico y la conducta interactiva actual del infante, las madres con un alto nivel de ansiedad se mostraron como ma ´s intrusas y ma ´s activas durante la interaccio ´n con sus infantes que las madres que recordaban haber tenido poca o ninguna ansiedad durante el perı ´odo posnatal.
