CHILD REARING BELIEFS/PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES IN MOTHERS OF FTT INFANTS

这项研究扩大了试点范围，以进一步确定将婴儿置于FTT风险中的特定育儿行为。其目的是：(1)描述在各种结构和非结构的儿童抚养情境中，发育迟缓(FTT)婴儿的母亲与身体健康的正常发育婴儿的母亲之间的问题解决互动；(2)描述发育迟缓儿童的母亲与那些表现出适龄身体发育的母亲对儿童抚养的期望；(3)确定FTT婴儿的母亲与正常发育儿童的母亲在儿童抚养问题解决方面和儿童抚养期望方面的区别；(4)评估涉及儿童抚养和与FTT婴儿的母亲一起解决问题的一系列措施的可行性。使用发育测试室和心理测量师。试点结果为提交国家研究服务局补助金申请提供了数据，并于1996年收到了资金。到目前为止，的母亲和她们的孩子已经登记在册，研究完成。目前正在对数据进行分析，准备发布。

This study extends the pilot to further identify specific parenting behaviors that put infants at risk for FTT. The aims are: (1) to describe problem solving interactions in a range of childrearing situations, structured and unstructured, of mothers of failure to thrive (FTT) infants compared with that of a matched group of mothers of physically healthy normal growing infants; (2) to describe expectations of childrearing among mothers of children who are failing to thrive versus those who demonstrate age appropriate physical growth; (3) to identify dimensions of problem solving in childrearing and expectations of childrearing that discriminate mothers of children with FTT versus normally growing children; (4) to assess the feasibility of a battery of measures involving childrearing and problem solving with mothers of FTT infants. Uses developmental testing room and psychometrist. The results of the pilot provided data for submission of a National Research Service grant application and funding was received in 1996. To date, 64 mothers and their children have been enrolled and the study completed. Data is being analyzed for publication.
