Abstract

In this cross-sectional study performed in Canada, we evaluated the frustration levels of prepartum and postpartum mother and father couple-pairs. Our goal was to determine if there were differences in frustration levels between mothers and fathers while listening to prolonged infant crying, and further, how frustration levels might differ between prepartum and postpartum samples. Using two discrete groups, prepartum (Sample 1; N = 48) and postpartum (Sample 2; N = 44) mother and father couple-pairs completed 600 s of listening to audio-recorded infant cry sounds. Participants continuously reported their subjective frustration using a computerized Continuous Visual Analog Scale (CVAS). There was no significant difference in frustration responses between mothers and fathers across both prepartum and postpartum samples. Postpartum mothers and fathers experienced greater frustration than their prepartum counterparts, and frustration increased faster in postpartum couples compared to prepartum couples. Informing first-time parents of the universal experiences of frustration to prolonged crying bouts that are characteristic of their infant's early weeks of life may lead to greater understanding towards their infant, and perhaps decreased instances of harmful responses.

产前和产后母亲和父亲对婴儿哭闹的挫败感。
在加拿大进行的这项横断面研究中,我们评估了产前和产后母亲和父亲夫妇的挫败感水平。我们的目标是确定母亲和父亲在聆听婴儿长时间哭泣时的挫败感水平是否存在差异,以及产前和产后样本之间的挫败感水平有何不同。产前(样本 1; N = 48)和产后(样本 2; N = 44)的母亲和父亲夫妻对使用两个离散组完成了 600 秒的婴儿哭声录音聆听。参与者使用计算机化的连续视觉模拟量表(CVAS)持续报告其主观挫败感。在产前和产后样本中,母亲和父亲的挫败感反应没有明显差异。产后的母亲和父亲比产前的母亲和父亲感受到更大的挫折感,而且产后夫妇的挫折感比产前夫妇增加得更快。让初为父母的人了解婴儿出生后几周内的哭闹时间过长所带来的普遍挫败感,可能会让他们对婴儿有更多的理解,从而减少有害反应的发生。
