Prevention against child abuse in families with multiple children and support system for childrearing

多胎生育会增加虐待和忽视儿童的风险。据报道，几乎只有一个孩子受到虐待，而施虐者大多是母亲。母亲对依恋的偏爱被认为是这一趋势的原因。这项研究调查了多胎生育家庭中这种现象的流行情况，并确定了与风险增加相关的因素。总体而言，有多个孩子的母亲中有10.0%的人报告说，她们对所有孩子的依恋程度并不平等。与没有表现出偏爱的母亲相比，没有平等依恋自己的母亲表现出明显的健康状况不佳和上呼吸道感染的频率更高。此外，她们更有可能抱怨严重的疲惫(身心)和糟糕的睡眠条件。3.没有平等地依附于所有多胞胎孩子的母亲有更高的残疾儿童比率。

Multiple births are associated with an increased risk of child abuse and neglect. It is reported that only one child is abused in almost cases, and most abusers are the mothers. Maternal partiality regarding attachment has been suggested as the reason for this tendency. This study investigated the prevalence of this phenomenon in families with multiple birth children and identified factors associated with increased risk.1. Overall, 10.0% of mothers with multiple birth children reported that they didn't equally attach themselves to all their offspring.2. Mothers who didn't equally attach themselves exhibited significantly poor health conditions and a higher frequency of upper respiratory infections, compared with mothers who demonstrated no partiality. Moreover, they were more likely to complain of severe fatigue (physical and mental) and poor sleeping conditions.3.The mothers who didn't equally attach themselves to all their multiple birth children had a higher rate of handicapped children.
