女性和男性准父母在怀孕期间与未出生婴儿的关系的性质具有理论和临床意义。它可能提供了一个框架,以提高对心身产科的许多方面的理解,包括对胎儿丢失的反应。旨在评估这种关系的现有工具没有充分区分对胎儿本身的态度与对怀孕状态或母亲角色的态度。本文提出了一个理论模型的主观经验的人类依恋。这是用来开发一个问卷,以评估产前依恋结构。项目分析结果在19项母亲和16项父亲的问卷具有较高的内部一致性。每一个都需要大约五分钟才能完成。最后,对问卷的因素结构进行了探讨。
The nature of the relationship which female and male expectant parents develop during pregnancy with their unborn baby has both theoretical and clinical significance. It potentially provides a framework for improved understanding of many aspects of psychosomatic obstetrics, including reactions to foetal loss. Existing instruments designed to assess this relationship inadequately differentiate between attitude to the foetus per se versus attitude to the pregnancy state or motherhood role. The present paper presents a theoretical model of the subjective experiences of human attachment. This is utilized to develop a questionnaire to assess the antenatal attachment construct. Item analysis results in a 19-item maternal and 16-item paternal questionnaire with high levels of internal consistency. Each takes approximately five minutes to complete. Finally, the factor structures of the resultant questionnaires are explored.
