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

这项研究扩展了试点，以进一步确定特定的养育行为，使婴儿处于FTT的风险。 其目标是：（1）描述发育不良婴儿的母亲与身体健康正常生长婴儿的母亲在一系列有组织和无组织的育儿情境中解决问题的互动;（2）描述发育不良儿童的母亲与那些表现出与年龄相适应的身体生长的儿童的母亲对育儿的期望;（3）确定问题解决的儿童抚养和儿童抚养的期望，歧视FTT儿童的母亲与正常生长的儿童的尺寸;（4）评估的可行性，涉及儿童抚养和解决问题的FTT婴儿的母亲的一系列措施。 使用发展测试室和心理测量师。 试验结果为提交国家研究服务赠款申请提供了数据，并于1996年收到了资金。 迄今为止，已有64名母亲及其子女参加了研究，研究已经完成。 正在分析数据以便发表。

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.
