ABSTRACT

The study was aimed to explore the values of maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) at different stages of pregnancy using Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) with the construction of reference percentile curves and to examine possible associations between the measures of MFA and major demographic and obstetric characteristics. The study covered 530 pregnant women aged 18 through 50 years, gestational age 4 through 41 weeks. Reference percentile curves were constructed. No associations were found between gestational age and the values of the MAAS subscales. Primigravida had higher intensity and MAAS total scores; women having previous abortions had lower intensity and MAAS total scores; primipara had higher intensity score, and women with intended pregnancy had higher values on the quality, intensity and MAAS total scores. Early evaluation of MFA is appropriate for most pregnant women and may be useful indicator for early clinical and psychological intervention.

摘要

本研究旨在利用母亲产前依恋量表 (MAAS) 和参考百分位曲线的构建，探讨妊娠不同阶段的母胎依恋 (MFA) 值，并检查 MFA 测量值与主要人口统计和产科特征。该研究涵盖了 530 名 18 至 50 岁、孕周 4 至 41 周的孕妇。构建了参考百分位曲线。未发现胎龄与 MAAS 分量表值之间存在关联。初产妇的强度和 MAAS 总分较高；有过流产史的妇女的强度和 MAAS 总分较低；初产妇的强度评分较高，而计划怀孕的女性在质量、强度和 MAAS 总分上的值较高。
