Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Maternal Health

Background:

  • Maternal confidence is crucial for child development.
  • Understanding factors influencing maternal confidence in toddlerhood is vital.
  • Preterm birth may impact parenting confidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of maternal confidence in toddlerhood for mothers of preterm and fullterm children.
  • To compare parenting confidence levels between mothers of preterm and fullterm toddlers.

Main Methods:

  • Mothers of preterm (n=62) and fullterm (n=70) toddlers (12-36 months) completed the Toddler Care Questionnaire (TCQ) and a family background form.
  • Predictor variables included prior childcare experience, birth order, toddler health issues, maternal age, and birthweight.

  • Neonatal data were obtained from hospital records.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in mean TCQ scores was found between mothers of preterm and fullterm toddlers.
    • In preterm group, prior childcare, birth order, and cerebral palsy explained 33% of confidence variance.
    • In fullterm group, prior childcare, maternal age, and birthweight explained 38% of confidence variance.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternal confidence during toddlerhood is comparable between mothers of preterm and fullterm infants.
    • Predictors of maternal confidence vary slightly between preterm and fullterm groups, with prior experience and child health being key.
    • Findings align with Bandura's self-efficacy theory, highlighting the role of experience and perceived child characteristics.
