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

这项研究扩展了试点，以进一步确定具体的养育 使婴儿处于FTT风险中的行为。 目的是：（1） 描述一系列育儿中解决问题的互动 结构化和非结构化的情况下，失败的母亲茁壮成长 (FTT)婴儿与母亲的匹配组相比， 身体健康、正常生长的婴儿;（2）描述期望 在那些孩子发育不良的母亲中， 与那些表现出与年龄相适应的身体发育的人相比;（3） 确定解决育儿问题的各个方面和期望 对患有FTT儿童的母亲的歧视， 正常生长的儿童;（4）评估电池的可行性 采取的措施， FTT婴儿。使用发展测试室和心理测量师。 的 试点结果为提交国家研究报告提供了数据。 1996年收到了服务赠款申请和资金。迄今为止， 母亲和她们的孩子都参加了。20个额外的二分体 将被招募。

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, 55 mothers and their children have been enrolled. Twenty additional dyads will be recruited.
