Infantile atopic dermatitis (AD) is linked to a higher risk of mother-to-infant bonding disorder (MIBD). This study highlights AD as a potential risk factor for MIBD, impacting maternal mental health and infant development.
Area of Science:
- Perinatal mental health
- Pediatric dermatology
- Infant-child development
Background:
- Mother-to-infant bonding disorder (MIBD) significantly affects maternal mental health and child development.
- Infantile atopic dermatitis (AD) impacts caregiver well-being, but its association with MIBD is unclear.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between MIBD and infantile AD.
- Utilize data from a large-scale Japanese cross-sectional survey (JACSIS) involving 4236 postpartum women.
Main Methods:
- MIBD assessed using the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS-J).
- Infantile AD identified via maternal report (R-AD) and physician diagnosis (D-AD).
- Modified Poisson regression analysis employed to determine relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Main Results:
- A prevalence of 24.2% for MIBD was observed.
- Both reported AD (RR=1.22) and diagnosed AD (RR=1.41) were significantly associated with increased MIBD risk.
- Infantile AD correlated with higher scores for Anger and Rejection, a subscale of the MIBS-J.
Conclusions:
- Infantile AD emerges as a potential risk factor for MIBD.
- Further research is warranted to explore the MIBD-infantile AD link.
- Developing targeted support for mothers and infants affected by AD is crucial.
