Enhancing reciprocity between mother and neonate.

C J Anderson

    Nursing Research
    |March 1, 1981

    Summary

    Early intervention improved maternal responsiveness by familiarizing mothers with infant capabilities. Observing the Brazelton Neonatal Behavior Assessment Scale (BNBAS) with explanations yielded significant benefits for maternal-infant interaction.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Behavior
    • Maternal-Infant Interaction
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding newborn capabilities is crucial for effective maternal-infant bonding.
    • Early interventions can significantly impact maternal responsiveness and infant development.
    • The Brazelton Neonatal Behavior Assessment Scale (BNBAS) offers insights into infant characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of an early intervention on maternal responsiveness.
    • To determine if observing the Brazelton Neonatal Behavior Assessment Scale (BNBAS) enhances intervention effectiveness.
    • To assess parallel effects on infant responsiveness.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty mothers of newborns were divided into three groups.
    • Group 1: Observed BNBAS administration with explanations ('show-and-tell').
    • Group 2: Received explanations of BNBAS without observation ('tell-only'). Group 3: Control (infant furnishings instruction).

    Main Results:

    • Maternal responsiveness significantly increased in the 'show-and-tell' group.
    • No significant enhancement in maternal responsiveness was observed in the 'tell-only' group.
    • Infant responsiveness showed parallel changes, mirroring maternal responsiveness effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Observing the Brazelton Neonatal Behavior Assessment Scale (BNBAS) alongside explanations is key to enhancing maternal responsiveness.
    • Early, interactive interventions positively influence maternal-infant dyadic functioning.
    • The findings support the utility of the BNBAS in early intervention programs for improving parent-infant relationships.
