Abstract

Purpose: Impaired mother-infant bonding (MIB) is associated with inadequate maternal skills and pose a higher risk for impaired learning, child abuse, and psychiatric disorders in children. There are approximately 24 million births annually in India; however, community data on MIB from India is lacking.

Methods: The study reports the findings of a cross-sectional survey of 8189 mothers with children of age between 13 and 15 months from the state of Kerala, India. Bonding was assessed using the Mother-infant bonding scale (MIBS). Other correlates assessed include obstetric and birth history, chronic pain, postpartum depression and temperamental issues in the infant.

Results: The prevalence of impaired MIB in our sample was 12.3%. Those in extended/joint family, experiencing postpartum complications, supplementary breastfeeding in the first 6 months, postpartum depression and temperamental issues in infant were found to be associated with increased MIBS scores in a multivariate mixed-effect zero-inflated poisson model.

Conclusion: Experience of impaired MIB is not uncommon among mothers in India. More needs to be done to explore these issues, especially among those with higher risk to ensure appropriate interventions to mitigate long-term consequences.

母婴关系受损：印度的一项社区研究。

目的：母婴亲子关系（MIB）受损与母亲技能不足有关，是导致儿童学习能力受损、虐待儿童和精神失常的高风险因素。印度每年约有 2400 万新生儿，但却缺乏有关 MIB 的社区数据：本研究报告了对印度喀拉拉邦 8189 位母亲的横断面调查结果，这些母亲的孩子年龄在 13 到 15 个月之间。亲子关系采用母婴亲子关系量表（MIBS）进行评估。评估的其他相关因素包括产科和分娩史、慢性疼痛、产后抑郁和婴儿的脾气问题：在我们的样本中，母婴关系受损的发生率为 12.3%。在一个多变量混合效应零膨胀泊松模型中发现，大家庭/联合家庭、产后并发症、前 6 个月的辅助母乳喂养、产后抑郁和婴儿脾气问题与 MIBS 分数增加有关：结论：在印度的母亲中，MIB 受损的经历并不少见。需要做更多的工作来探讨这些问题，尤其是在高风险人群中，以确保采取适当的干预措施，减轻长期后果。
