Abstract
Identify predictors of maternal bonding and responsiveness for mothers of very preterm infants (< 32 weeks gestational age) at 6 weeks and 12 months corrected-age (CA). Cross-sectional and longitudinal study containing 39 mothers of very preterm infants. At 6 weeks CA maternal self-efficacy made a significant unique contribution to the variance in self-reported maternal bonding and responsiveness (21% and 26%, respectively). At 12 months CA maternal trauma symptoms, depressive symptoms and self-efficacy made a significant unique contribution to the variance in bonding (14%, 9% and 9%, respectively). Maternal self-efficacy made a significant 31% unique contribution to the variance in responsiveness. The combined effects of maternal trauma symptoms, depressive symptoms and self-efficacy at 6 weeks CA predicted maternal responsiveness at 12 months CA (p = .042). Supporting maternal self-efficacy is key to facilitating bonding and responsiveness up to 12 months CA following a very preterm birth.Trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12612000194864.Entities:
