As the incidence of child abuse and neglect in the United States increases, there is a pressing need to identify the predictors of maternal role sufficiency. A necessary first step is to identify prenatal variables that predict the less extreme forms of insufficiency in maternal behavior, such as insensitivity to infant cues. Using this knowledge as a base, research may then progress to the identification of the predictors of extremes in behavior along the continuum of maternal role sufficiency. The purpose of the proposed study is to identify the relative impact of selected prenatal variables upon postnatal maternal role sufficiency at 4-6 weeks after birth. The Millor theoretical framework for maternal role sufficiency was used as the basis for selecting study variables. The study sample will consist of expectant women who register for prenatal care at the Fairfax County (Virginia) Health Department. Data will be collected at two times. Time 1 (second half of pregnancy) will consist of an interview and completion of questionnaires during a clinic visit. The interview schedule is composed of open-ended questions from the Maternal Childhood Nurture Subscale and an adaptation of the Ways of Handling Irritating Behaviors Scale. The questionnaires are the Personal Resource Questionnaire-Part 2, the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory, and the Maternal-Fetal Atttachment Scale. Time 2 (4-6 weeks after birth) consists of a home visit in which data will be collected by means of observation of maternal- infant interactions and a self-report of the subject's perception of her mothering. The instruments used will be the Nursing Child Assessment Feeding and Teaching Scales and the Postpartum Self- Evaluation Questionnaire. Correlation and regression analysis will be used to examine the relative impact of the prenatal variables upon postnatal maternal role sufficiency. Implications for practice, education and research will be derived from the findings so that nursing may move closer to preventing the extreme forms of postnatal maternal role insufficiency before they begin.

由于美国虐待和忽视儿童的发生率 增加，迫切需要确定预测因素 母亲角色的充分性。 必要的第一步是确定 预测不太极端形式的产前变量 母亲行为不足，例如对婴儿不敏感 提示。 以这些知识为基础，研究可能会取得进展 识别极端行为的预测因素 沿着母亲角色充分性的连续体。 目的 拟议的研究旨在确定所选项目的相对影响 产前变量对产后 4-6 岁母亲角色充分性的影响 出生后几周。 米勒孕产理论框架 角色充分性被用作选择研究的基础 变量。 研究样本将包括以下孕妇 在费尔法克斯县（弗吉尼亚州）卫生局登记产前护理 部门。 数据将被收集两次。 时间1（秒 怀孕的一半）将包括面试和完成 就诊期间进行问卷调查。 面试时间安排是 由来自母亲童年的开放式问题组成 培育子量表和处理方式的改编 恼人行为量表。 调查问卷为个人问卷 资源调查问卷-第2部分，婴儿的知识 发育量表和母胎依恋 规模。 时间 2（出生后 4-6 周）包括家访 这些数据将通过观察产妇的方式收集 婴儿互动和受试者感知的自我报告 她的母性。 使用的仪器将是哺乳儿童 评估喂养和教学量表以及产后自我 评估问卷。 相关和回归分析将 用于检查产前变量的相对影响 产后母亲角色的充分性。 对以下方面的影响： 实践、教育和研究将从研究结果中得出 以便护理可以更接近于预防极端形式 产后母亲角色不足的问题开始之前。
