Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to investigate infant sensory patterns and their associations with previous perinatal loss, maternal-foetal attachment and postnatal maternal sensory patterns. Design/methodology/approach In a prospective cohort study, women with and without perinatal loss (N = 57) were recruited from an Australian public hospital. Participants were surveyed during pregnancy (maternal-foetal attachment, loss) and again postnatally (maternal/infant sensory patterns). Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses controlling for previous perinatal loss were conducted with infant sensory patterns as outcome variables. Findings “More than typical” infant low registration was associated with poorer quality of maternal-foetal attachment. “More than typical” infant sensory seeking was associated with previous perinatal loss and higher levels of maternal sensory seeking. “More than typical” infant sensory sensitivity was linked with previous perinatal loss, poorer quality of maternal-foetal attachment and higher maternal low registration. “More than typical” infant sensory avoidance was associated with poorer quality of maternal-foetal attachment and higher levels of maternal sensory sensitivity. Practical implications To support more typical infant sensory patterns, results point to the potential benefit of occupational therapists supporting pregnant women with previous perinatal loss; facilitating favourable maternal-foetal attachment; and educating new mothers on how their sensory patterns impact on interactions with their infant. Sensory modulation strategies that consider the sensory patterns of both mother and infant may be beneficial to promote engagement in co-occupations. Originality/value These findings are the first to suggest that previous perinatal loss, poorer quality of maternal-foetal attachment and higher levels of maternal postnatal sensory patterns represent risk factors for infant sensory patterns that are “more than typical.”
婴儿感觉模式:与先前围产期丧失、母婴依恋和产后母亲感觉模式的关联
目的研究婴儿感觉模式及其与既往围产期丢失、母婴依恋和产后母亲感觉模式的关系。设计/方法/方法在一项前瞻性队列研究中,从澳大利亚公立医院招募了有和没有围产期损失的女性(N=57)。参与者在怀孕期间(母胎依恋、丢失)和产后再次接受调查(母胎/婴儿感觉模式)。以婴儿感觉模式为结果变量,进行卡方检验和逻辑回归分析,控制先前围产期损失。研究结果表明,“超过典型”的婴儿低登记率与母婴依恋质量较差有关。“超过典型”的婴儿感官寻求与之前的围产期损失和较高水平的母体感官寻求有关。“超过典型”的婴儿感官敏感性与之前的围产期损失、母胎依恋质量较差和母胎登记率较低有关。“超过典型”的婴儿感官回避与母体胎儿依恋质量较差和母体感官敏感性水平较高有关。实际意义为了支持更典型的婴儿感觉模式,研究结果指出职业治疗师支持有围产期损失的孕妇的潜在益处;促进有利的母婴依恋;教育新妈妈了解她们的感官模式如何影响与婴儿的互动。考虑到母亲和婴儿的感觉模式的感觉调节策略可能有利于促进共同职业的参与。原始性/价值这些发现首次表明,以前的围产期损失,母体胎儿依恋质量较差和母体产后感觉模式水平较高是婴儿感觉模式“更典型”的风险因素
