Abstract:
Preterm birth can affect maternal-infant bonding; however, the factors contributing to bonding after preterm delivery remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of maternal resilience and the ability of mothers to adjust to the difficulties after preterm birth on the bonding process. To this end, the impact of resilience on bonding and the ability of mothers to adjust to difficulties after preterm delivery was evaluated across four maternity facilities in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, between July 2015 and July 2017. A regression analysis revealed that resilience was the most important maternal bonding factor in the preterm group (β = 0.50, p = 0.00), followed by social support from the husband (β = 0.31, p = 0.03). The results suggest that strengthening the resilience of mothers who experienced preterm birth could strengthen bonding.
