目标。虽然大多数早产婴儿没有重大的发育问题，但那些有围产期医疗问题和在新生儿重症监护病房长期住院的婴儿有感觉调节问题和发育后遗症的风险。本研究比较了早产儿和足月儿的感觉反应，探讨了感觉反应与气质和发育功能的关系。有（n = 45）和没有（n = 22）早产儿的照顾者被要求完成感官评定量表。采用《贝利婴儿发育量表第二版》（BSID-II）对早产儿进行评估。早产儿比足月婴儿表现出更多的触觉防御行为和困难气质。当检查特定的物品时，早产儿表现出感官寻求行为和高活动水平。由照顾者报告测得，感觉反应性与气质有显著相关，与BSID-II心理和精神运动量表得分无显著相关。本研究支持了其他研究的发现，即早产儿在感觉反应和气质方面有轻微的问题，相关结果不支持父母报告婴儿的感觉反应和发育功能之间的明确关系。
Objectives. Although most infants born prematurely do not have major developmental problems, those with perinatal medical problems and lengthy stays in the neonatal intensive care unit are at risk for sensory modulation problems and developmental sequelae. This study compared sensory responsiveness in preterm and full-term infants and examined the relationship of sensory responsiveness to temperament and developmental function.Method. Caregivers of infants with (n = 45) and without (n = 22) prematurity were asked to complete the Sensory Rating Scale. The preterm infants were also evaluated with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Second Edition (BSID-II).Results. The preterm infants exhibited more frequent behaviors indicating tactile defensiveness and difficult temperament than did the full-term infants. When specific items were examined the preterm infants displayed sensory-seeking behaviors and high activity levels. As measured by caregivers' report, sensory responsiveness was significantly related to temperament It was not related to BSID-II Mental and Psychomotor scale scores.Conclusion. This study supports the findings of others that preterm infants have mild problems in sensory responsiveness and temperament Correlational results do not support a definitive relationship between parents' reports of their infants' sensory responsiveness and developmental function.
