这项研究考察了高危婴儿的发育结果与父母的认知和期望之间的关系。1989年4月至10月,连续209名高危婴儿的父母被要求在他们的婴儿接受标准的发育评估之前提供他们的发育解释和预期。父母与运动和语言技能的专业评估之间存在中等相关性(p<0.05至p<.01)。大多数一致意见是在专业人士将婴儿评估为正常时发生的。分歧很常见,在所有发展领域都存在。这些不匹配与出生时的胎龄、新生儿并发症、贫困或对父母经历的估计无关。专业人员应该认真对待高危婴儿父母表达的任何发育问题。然而,表达的发育问题不能用于高危婴儿的发育筛查。
This study examines the relationship between developmental outcomes of high-risk infants and parental perceptions and expectations. Parents of 209 consecutive high-risk infants were asked to provide their development interpretations and expectations before their infants received standard developmental assessments between April and October 1989. Moderate correlations between parents and professional assessments of motor and language skills were noted (p < .05 to p < .01). Most agreements occurred when infants were assessed as normal by professionals. Disagreements were common and occurred in all areas of development. These mismatches were not associated with gestational age at birth, neonatal complications, poverty, or estimates of parental experience.Professionals should take seriously any expressed developmental concerns by parents of high-risk infants. Expressed developmental concerns, however, cannot be relied on for developmental screening of high-risk infants.
