This qualitative study evaluated an attachment-based group parenting program that utilises mentalisation-based approach. The Building Early Attachment and Resilience (BEAR) program was designed to promote parent-child attachment across the perinatal period and has pre- and post-natal arms. The post-natal component targets mothers and infants at risk for early disturbances of attachment to, and emotional interaction. This evaluation study aimed to explore mothers’ subjective experiences of the post-natal BEAR program in encouraging mothers’ reflection on their role as a parent. Thirteen mothers were interviewed. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, with five themes emerging. Overall, mothers reported that the intervention promoted reflection about the parenting role, contributed to perceptions of improved mother-infant interactions and increased understanding of their infant’s internal experiences. The results suggest the BEAR program is acceptable and facilitates the development of secure parent-infant attachment.

这项定性研究评估了基于依恋的团体育儿计划，该计划利用基于心理化的方法。建立早期依恋和复原力 (BEAR) 计划旨在促进整个围产期的亲子依恋，并在产前和产后进行。产后部分针对有早期依恋和情感互动障碍风险的母亲和婴儿。本评估研究旨在探讨母亲对产后 BEAR 计划的主观体验，以鼓励母亲反思自己作为父母的角色。13位母亲接受了采访。使用主题分析对成绩单进行了分析，出现了五个主题。总体而言，母亲报告说干预促进了对养育角色的反思，有助于改善母婴互动的看法，并增加对婴儿内部体验的理解。结果表明 BEAR 计划是可以接受的，并促进安全的亲子依恋的发展。
