目的和目的编制母亲依恋量表（MAI）中文版，并对其进行心理测量学评价。该量表显示最合适的指标与附件，并已被广泛采用在不同领域的测量母婴attachment.Design横断面调查design.Methods进行了研究，在两个诊所。从507个样本中，采用简单随机抽样的选择方法，使用计算机随机选择200名产后4-8个月的母亲姓名。181位母亲同意参加这项研究。中文版的MAI（CMAI）分为五个阶段：翻译，审查，回译，专家小组审查和试点测试。关于CMAI的可靠性，连续进行了子量表和整个量表之间的相关性检验。对MAI的效度进行了探索性因素分析、项目与分量表之间的关系检验和同时效标关联效度分析。CMAI及其分量表具有良好的内部一致性，Cronbach的α系数为0.94。此外，CMAI与母-胎依恋量表（MFAI）和母-婴依恋量表（MIAI）之间的Pearson积差相关系数分别为0.38和0.5。这表明CMAI与这两个量表之间分别存在显着的中等和高度相关性。本研究的一个主要限制是，参与者被招募来自两个诊所位于中部Taiwan.Conclusions CMAI具有可接受的信度和效度用于测量母亲和他们的infants.Relevance临床practice之间的依恋和情感纽带的水平CMAI提供了进一步的证据，CMAI在临床产科护理服务的适用性。
Aims and objectives To develop the Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) into Chinese and assess its psychometric properties.Background The MAI measures of maternal affectionate attachment. This scale displays the most appropriate indicators associated with attachment and has been widely adopted in different fields for measuring maternal-infant attachment.Design Cross-sectional survey design.Methods The study was carried out in two clinics. From the accessible population of 507 samples, a simple random sampling method of selection was used to randomly choose 200 names of mothers at 4-8 months after delivery using a computer. One hundred and eighty-one mothers agreed to participate in the study. The Chinese version of the MAI (CMAI) was developed in five stages: translation, review, back-translation, a review by a panel of specialists and a pilot test. Regarding the reliability of the CMAI, a test of correlations between the subscales and the entire scale was performed consecutively. With respect to the validity of the MAI, exploratory factor analyses, a test of relationships between items and subscales, and an analysis of concurrent criterion-related validity were conducted.Results The CMAI contains four factors in its structure. The CMAI and its subscales possess good internal consistency; the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.94. In addition, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the CMAI and the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Inventory (MFAI) and between the CMAI and the Maternal-Infant Attachment Inventory (MIAI) was 0.38 and 0.5, respectively. This suggests significant medium and high respective correlations between the CMAI and these two scales. One major limitation of this study is that participants were recruited from two clinics located in central Taiwan.Conclusions The CMAI possesses acceptable reliability and validity for use in measuring the levels of attachment and affectional ties between mothers and their infants.Relevance to clinical practice The CMAI provides further evidence of the applicability of the CMAI in clinical maternity care services.
