Abstract

Based on principles of implementation science and precision home visiting, this study tested parent coaches' in vivo feedback as a predictor of sensitive parenting behaviors in 91 low-income mothers of infants (infant M_age = 12.73 months, SD = 4.17). All participants lived in the United States. Most (87%) of the mothers identified as Latina. All participants had received Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC), an evidence-based program consisting of 10 home visits provided by a trained parent coach. The ABC program's principal fidelity criterion is a specific type of in vivo (real-time) feedback termed "in-the-moment" (ITM) commenting. OLS regressions revealed that quantity, quality, and behavioral targets of the ABC parent coaches' ITM comments predicted objectively rated post-intervention maternal sensitivity in two contexts, semi-structured play and mild stress. Findings are discussed in terms of their role in illuminating (a) ABC program impacts and (b) considerations for program implementation and dissemination.

ABC的有效成分：父母教练的体内反馈预测了以拉丁裔母亲为主的低收入母亲的敏感性。

本研究基于实施科学和精准家访的原则，对91名低收入婴儿母亲（婴儿Mage = 12.73个月，SD = 4.17）进行了父母教练在体反馈对敏感育儿行为的预测。所有的参与者都住在美国。大多数（87%）母亲被认定为拉丁裔。所有参与者都接受了依恋和生物行为追踪（ABC），这是一个基于证据的项目，由一位训练有素的家长教练提供10次家访。ABC节目的主要保真度标准是一种特定类型的体内（实时）反馈，称为“即时”（ITM）评论。OLS回归显示，ABC家长教练ITM评论的数量、质量和行为目标客观地预测了半结构化游戏和轻度应激两种情境下的干预后母亲敏感性。研究结果在阐明(a) ABC计划的影响和(b)计划实施和传播的考虑方面的作用。

期刊介绍： The Infant Mental Health Journal (IMHJ) is the official publication of the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) and the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) and is copyrighted by MI-AIMH. The Infant Mental Health Journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles, literature reviews, program descriptions/evaluations, theoretical/conceptual papers and brief reports (clinical case studies and novel pilot studies) that focus on early social and emotional development and characteristics that influence social-emotional development from relationship-based perspectives. Examples of such influences include attachment relationships, early relationship development, caregiver-infant interactions, infant and early childhood mental health services, contextual and cultural influences on infant/toddler/child and family development, including parental/caregiver psychosocial characteristics and attachment history, prenatal experiences, and biological characteristics in interaction with relational environments that promote optimal social-emotional development or place it at higher risk. Research published in IMHJ focuses on the prenatal-age 5 period and employs relationship-based perspectives in key research questions and interpretation and implications of findings.
