This review identified self-report instruments for maternal responsiveness. Current tools lack key variables like maternal awareness, highlighting a need for improved measurement in maternal responsiveness research.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Maternal Health
  • Developmental Science

Background:

  • Maternal responsiveness is crucial for child development.
  • Accurate measurement of maternal responsiveness is essential for research and clinical practice.
  • Existing self-report instruments may not fully capture the nuances of maternal responsiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review existing research on maternal responsiveness.
  • To identify and evaluate self-report instruments used to measure maternal responsiveness.
  • To determine the variables included in current maternal responsiveness self-report measures.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of electronic databases (Medline, PsychLit, SocLit, Cinahl).
  • Inclusion criteria focused on articles with 'maternal responsiveness' in the title or using a self-report instrument for its measurement.

  • Fifty-two eligible studies were identified, reviewed by two researchers, and summarized.

    • Main Results:

    • The review identified several self-report instruments for maternal responsiveness.
    • The studies reviewed primarily focused on antenatal care and limited aspects of communication.
    • Current instruments lack variables such as maternal awareness, recognition, and reflection.

    Conclusions:

    • Existing self-report measures for maternal responsiveness are limited in scope.
    • There is a significant need for the development of more comprehensive instrumentation.
    • Future research should focus on creating and validating new measures that include maternal awareness, recognition, and reflection.
