Failure to thrive: parental indicators, types, and outcomes.

C C Ayoub, J S Milner

    Child Abuse & Neglect
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that while parental awareness impacts infant failure to thrive (FTT) outcomes, it doesn't predict later neglect. However, high Child Abuse Potential (CAP) scores in parents predict neglect, irrespective of FTT type or outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Child Psychology
    • Social Work

    Background:

    • Environmental failure to thrive (FTT) is a complex condition affecting infants.
    • Understanding factors influencing FTT and its long-term consequences is crucial for intervention.
    • Parental factors, including awareness, cooperation, and potential for abuse, are key areas of investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clinically evaluate the relationship between FTT type and parental factors.
    • To assess if parental awareness/cooperation predicts FTT outcome and later neglect.
    • To determine the predictive value of the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory for neglect.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation and follow-up of 42 parent-infant dyads with environmental FTT.
    • Assessment of parental awareness, cooperation, and FTT outcomes.
    • Administration of the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory to parents.

    Main Results:

    • FTT type correlated with parental awareness/cooperation and FTT outcome.
    • Parental awareness/cooperation predicted FTT outcome.
    • No significant relationship was found between FTT type, parental factors, and subsequent neglect.
    • CAP scores predicted later neglect, independent of FTT characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental awareness is a significant factor in the outcome of infant FTT.
    • The Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory is a valuable tool for identifying risk of future neglect.
    • Interventions for FTT should consider parental psychological factors, while neglect prevention requires distinct assessment tools.
