Background: The mental health of the mother has a great influence on the health of her fetus. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the mother's spiritual well-being and forgiveness with maternal-fetal attachment (MFA). Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study. A sample of 200 female participants was selected by applying a simple sampling method among the mothers hospitalized in 3 clinics during the period of 2017-2018. The Paloutzian and Ellison Spiritual Health and Pollard & Anderson Forgiveness Questionnaires were used toassess the correlation between the spiritual health and forgiveness of the mother with MFA. Results: The relationship between attachment parameters including sentimental and emotional behaviors (r = 0.365, p = 0.0001), near-proximity-keeping behaviors (r = 0.261, p = 0.002), care behaviors (r = 0.339, p = 0.0001), mother’s attention to baby (r = 0.19, p = 0.026), versus all attachment behaviors (r = 0.349, p = 0.0001) and high level of spiritual well-being was significant, whereas the relationship between the mother’s forgiveness score and all the attachment components was not meaningful. However, the high level of forgiveness score was significant with all of the attachment components (p<0.0001). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the mother’s mental health and forgiveness and the attachment versus its components. It is recommended that in order to reduce the stress level and promotion of MFA, training courses for spiritual programs and mechanisms for the creation of forgiveness should be scheduled in the pregnancy plans.

<strong>The aim of the research</strong> is to study the level of attachment to the fetus of women with the threat of premature birth in the third trimester of pregnancy and psychomotor development of the baby in the first year of life. <strong>Materials and methods.</strong> The study included 150 pregnant women in the third trimester (23-37 weeks), and their men. Of these, the main group consisted of 120 women with the risk of preterm birth in the last trimester of pregnancy (MG). The comparison group consisted of 30 women with physiological pregnancy (CG). <strong>Results and discussion.</strong> Women with MG were found to have a maternal fetal attachment level of 71.0±1.0 (attachment disorder) and women with a CG of 51.0±2.0 (sufficient attachment level). Assessment of the psychomotor development of the child during the first year of life showed a tendency to lag its indicators in children of mothers from MG (after the second examination of MTG compared with the infants of women with CG and MGK during all periods of observation (p<0.05). Such a difference in indicators of psychomotor development was observed at the third survey: the level of development of children of mothers of CG was significantly higher than in women with MG. In the fourth survey, children of MTG mothers (29.0) showed better psychomotor development rates than infants of MCT women (27.5), but lower than those of CG (29.4). Subsequently, the level of psychomotor development of children with CG and MTG was almost equal to that of children of MCG (28.1), which were lower than in other groups. When reaching the age of one year, the children of MTG mothers showed the best level of psychomotor development (29.2), almost the same results were observed in children with CG (29.1), and indicators of MCG children were lower (28.5). <strong>Conclusions.</strong> Among the negative factors that provoke the formation of dyadic interaction disorders, psychological unpreparedness for motherhood and a low level of attachment to the fetus of women with the threat of premature birth during the third trimester of pregnancy are leading

Full textAbstract:
Maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) makes an essential contribution to maternal and fetal health and influences the adoption of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. Mothers who have a strong MFA tend to have healthy behaviors and give birth to healthy babies. Mothers who feel emotionally connected to their fetus tend to be more motivated to take care of their own health. They realize that their health directly affects the health of the developing baby. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of maternal-fetal attachment in primigravida in the third trimester. The quantitative descriptive research method was used with 85 primigravida mothers who have met the inclusion criteria (third-trimester primigravida; no complications during pregnancy, self-examination at the Sleman regional public health centre) and have participated in this study. The Indonesian version of the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) questionnaire is used to review maternal-fetal attachments in a face-to-face interview. The results of the study provide an overview of the fact that most primigravida mothers in the third trimester have high maternal-fetal attachment scores. In addition, effective information communication and education for pregnant women were identified as factors that contributed to the level of maternal-fetal attachment. Effective maternal-fetal attachment-related programs in the education of new-reproductive couples are needed to be developed and implemented by health workers, including by midwives.

Full textAbstract:
Background & Aims: There are contradictory results in studies on the relationship between maternal-fetal attachment behaviors and anxiety in high-risk pregnancies. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal-fetal attachment and anxiety and demographic characteristics of first pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 pregnant women with preeclampsia, hypertension, and preterm were enrolled in two prenatal clinics of a selected hospital affiliated with the Iran University of Medical Sciences in 1998. The random sampling method was simple. The instruments used in this study included the demographic and midwifery questionnaire, the Cranley fetal-maternal attachment questionnaire, and the Wendenberg pregnancy anxiety questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Spss software version 16 using independent t-test, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression.. Results: The mean maternal attachment to the fetus was 85.26±12.68 in the participating women. It was moderate level. The mean score of female anxiety was 196.20±66.34, higher than the mean of the instrument. There was a statistically significant correlation between the total score of maternal attachment to the fetus and the total score of female anxiety (P<0.001). There was a significant and inverse relationship between education of pregnant women and their husbands, support of pregnant women, and planning for pregnancy with maternal attachment to the fetus and anxiety (P<0.001). Conclusion: Less education for pregnant mothers and, lack of planning for pregnancy, less support from spouses to pregnant women have caused them to become more attached to the fetus. The mothers were more worried in the face of preterm pregnancy. The efforts of health care providers should be for pregnancy care in this group of women with higher quality and with more consultation time.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Environmental tobacco smoking is produced by active smokers burning the tip of a cigarette and breathed by nonsmokers and measured by cotinine level. It has the potential to raise the risk of periodontal disease. One of the most frequent chronic diseases in adults is periodontal disease. The lower maternal-fetal attachment has been found to predict smoking status in previous studies, but no research has examined whether maternal-fetal attachment predicts environmental tobacco smoking. This study assessed the effects of maternal environmental tobacco smoke exposure on periodontal health and mother-infant bonding concerning salivary cotinine levels. Materials and methods: This is a comparative cross-sectional study comparing environmental tobacco smoke on exposed and non-exposed mothers aged between 20-35 years with their infants aged up to one year who attended primary health care centers in rural areas of AL-Karkh sector/Baghdad. Along with the essential socio-demographic data, a secondhand smoke exposure scale and postpartum bonding questionnaire were employed. Collection of unstimulated saliva from mothers was done according to Navazesh and Kumer in 2008. After that, the clinical Assessment of gingival bleeding and periodontal pockets was performed by using Community Periodontal Index according to the world health organization in 1997. Results: Out of 150 subjects,67(44.66%) were exposed to environmental tobacco whereas the non-exposed mothers were composed of 83 (55.33%). The highest mean number of CPI0(healthy gingiva) and CPI1(gingival bleeding) were among the non-exposed mothers while the highest mean number of CPI2(dental calculus), CPI3 (shallow pocket 4-5mm) and CPI4(deep pocket 6mm or more) were among the exposed mothers. The mean value of cotinine level among the non-exposed mothers was lower than exposed mothers with significant results. A higher salivary cotinine level was linked to a lower maternal-fetal bonding score. Conclusions: Mother’s exposure to environmental tobacco smoke significantly negatively impacts periodontal disease. Furthermore, mothers who have a stronger sense of attachment and affiliation to their fetus have lower salivary cotinine concentrations than mothers who have a less sense of fetal attachment.

Causes and post partum bleeding include placental retention which reached 16%-17% in 2016. Placental retention is a condition in which the placenta is not born within 1 hour after the baby is born. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between maternal characteristics and the occurrence of placental retention in Babussalam Health Center in 2021. The research was conducted at Babussalam Health Center with a sample number of 22 people with this type of analytical survey research and cross sectional design. The results of the study can be seen with the Chi Square test with a confidence level of 95%, and a = 0.05, based on the parity it is known that X2 calculates > X2 table (14,157 > 7.815) then there is a relationship between parity and the occurrence of placental retention. Based on the age of daketahul X2 calculated > X2 table (13,093 > 5,991) then there is a relationship between the mother's age and the occurrence of placental retention. Based on the state of the uterus known X2 calculates > X2 table (10,092 > 3,841) then there is a relationship between the state of the mother's uterus and the occurrence of placental retention. Based on the sticking of the table is known X2 calculates > X2 table (9,322 > 5,991) it can be concluded that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. So there is a relationship between placental attachment and placental retention. There is a characteristic relationship of maternity mothers with the occurrence of placental retention. It is expected to the mother to keep her pregnancy distance and if the mother's age is > 35 years and already have more children and 3 should the mother not get pregnant again because it will be very risky to the mother and fetus.

Full textAbstract:
Background of the study: The earliest relationship does not begin at birth. The concept of prenatal attachment is defined as the subjective feeling state of love for the unborn child. Developing an attachment for one’s unborn child is considered an important milestone in the future parents’ developmental trajectory. Pregnancy is a natural, pleasant process in a woman’s life, which is also associated with significant stresses due to the physical and mental changes. Evidence suggests that the emergence of maternal-fetal attachment, is a predictive factor for the postpartum maternal attitude and function, mother-infant interaction, and attachment after birth. Mothers with a higher level of fetal attachment during pregnancy have been shown to have more effective interactions with their infants, which in turn has a substantial impact on the growth and emotional, cognitive, and social development of the child. Aim: To compare the knowledge and attitude regarding prenatal attachment among primigravida women residing in selected urban and rural communities. Material and methods: A quantitative research approach with non-experimental comparative research design was adopted to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding prenatal attachment among primigravida women residing in selected urban and rural communities of District Mohali, Punjab. A total of 100 primigravida women i.e., 50 from urban and 50 from rural community were selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Results: Present study result showed that in urban community majority of primigravida women (42%) had moderate knowledge; while in rural community majority of primigravida women (56%) had in-adequate knowledge regarding prenatal attachment. Results related to attitude revealed that in urban community majority of primigravida women (62%) had favorable attitude where as in rural community majority of primigravida women (68%) had unfavorable attitude towards prenatal attachment. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the study was urban community has adequate knowledge and favorable attitude then rural community. Hence, the study suggests that considering the importance of prenatal attachment in child’s development and mother’s health, prenatal period can be an appropriate time to educate the women regarding maternal fetal attachment and its importance and benefits of attachment to the fetus.

Full textAbstract:
The study involved 150 women at 23–37 weeks of pregnancy: 120 women with the threat of premature birth (main group, MG), 30 women with the physiological course of pregnancy (comparison group, CG) and their husbands. The types of interaction in the mother–child–father triad with the threat of premature birth and after childbirth have been studied. A psychodiagnostic study revealed a reliably high level of the average value of reactive and personal anxiety in women with MG. The average indicator of the level of depression is higher in the MG, where there are cases of subdepressive state and severe depression, in the CG the latter was not revealed. According to the Cranley scale, at the first stage of the study, the level of attachment to the fetus in women from MG was (71,0±1,0) points (attachment disorder), in women from CG was (51,0±2,0) points (sufficient level of attachment), p<0,05. With the help of the «Pregnant Attitude Test», the prevailing type of woman’s attitude to her unborn child was determined in terms of the course of pregnancy. It was found that in 20,8 % of women, the euphoric type predominates, 9,17 % had the optimal type, 9,17 % had hyponosognosic type, 2,5 % had anxious type, 3,33 % had depressive type. In 26,7 % of women, CG has the optimal type. There are no other types of attitudes towards pregnancy. In women with MG, disorientation prevails at all stages of the examination (41–46 people), the dependent type (35–36), autonomous (23–29), and avoidance of proximity much less often was (14–16), in women with CG, the autonomous type dominates (10–13), dependent type (8–10), and avoidance of proximity (4–9) little less often were and disorientation (3–4) much less often was. At each stage of the survey, the level of social support in the MG is reduced relative to that in the CG. It is noted that in both groups the level of social support on two scales such as the support of colleagues at work and public organizations is reduced.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in a mother's attachment and emotional control resulting from Sandplay Therapy in cases of insecure adult attachment. Additionally, the study aimed to examine the changes in family perception and attachment to the mother's changes. One mother with a high insecure adult attachment score and her family were selected as subjects for this study. Attachment scales, emotional control scales, sentence completion tests (SCTs), and interviews were conducted before and after the therapy to study the subjects' changes in attachment and emotional control, as well as the changes perceived by family members. The mother then underwent 12 sessions of Sandplay Therapy. The results showed that: After Sandplay therapy, the mother's attachment and emotional control demonstrated positive changes. The mother's changes through Sandplay Therapy contributed to the improvement of the family's positive perception and attachment level. The Sandplay box underwent a process of individualization, leading to self-realization. In conclusion, Sandplay Therapy helps stabilize the attachment and emotion of insecure attachment mothers, and the changes in mothers have a positive impact on the perception and attachment of family members. A follow-up study, it is necessary to expand the number of study subjects by attachment type.

Full textAbstract:
The coronavirus-19 pandemic has become a serious stressor and can provoke an increase in emotional distress in pregnant women. The influence of unfavorable factors during pregnancy causes a responsive "adaptive response" in both the pregnant woman and the fetus, which has various long-term consequences for the child's development. The aim of our study was to investigate influence of perinatal factors such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and attachment of women in pregnancy and after birth on infants’ development during a pandemic. Sample. 1 st stage: 120 women age 28,7 years, 61% in 3rd trimester living in Russia. Measures: Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment, Impact of Events Scale, State and Trait Anxiety, Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale, Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale, Pregnant woman attitude test, Kent Infant Development Scale. Result. A study of the emotional state in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed a high level of state anxiety in 39% of pregnant women, a level of PTSD exceeding critical in 16% of pregnant women, the presence of various syndromes and DSM-associated disorders, including depressive disorder (10.3%) combined with mental health problem such as avoidance (9.7%). The study of the attitude towards pregnancy and the child revealed a high level of prenatal attachment and the predominance of the optimal type of attitude towards pregnancy. Preliminary data on the mental development of infants (29 infants, mean age 6,6 months) show lagging on the social, cognition, and self-care scales. Data on postnatal factors and its influence on child development will be presented later. Пандемия коронавируса-19 стала серьезным стресс-фактором и может спровоцировать усиление стресса у беременных. Воздействие неблагоприятных факторов во время беременности вызывает ответную «приспособительную реакцию» как у беременной, так и у плода, что имеет различные отдаленные последствия для развития ребенка. Целью нашего исследования является изучение влияния перинатальных факторов, таких как тревога, депрессия, посттравматическое стрессовое расстройство и привязанность женщин во время беременности и после рождения, на психическое развитие младенцев в условиях пандемии коронавируса. Выборка. На первом этапе в исследовании приняло участие 120 женщин (средний возраст – 28,7 лет), 61% в 3 триместре, проживающих в России. Методики: шкала психологического функционирования (The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment), шкала посттравматического стресса, шкала ситуативной тревоги, методика пренатальной привязанности матери, методика постнатальной привязанности матери, тест отношения беременной женщины, шкала развития младенцев (KID). Результаты. Изучение эмоционального состояния беременных в период пандемии COVID-19 выявило высокий уровень ситуационной тревожности у 39% беременных, уровень ПТСР, превышающий критический у 16% беременных, наличие различных синдромов и ДСМ-ассоциированных расстройств, в том числе депрессивное расстройство (10,3%) в сочетании с проблемами психического здоровья, такими как избегание (9,7%). Изучение отношения к беременности и ребенку выявило высокий уровень пренатальной привязанности и преобладание оптимального типа отношения к беременности. Предварительные данные об психическом развитии младенцев (29 детей, средний возраст 6,6 мес.) показывают отставание по шкалам социального и когнитивного развития, и самообслуживания. Данные о постнатальных факторах и их влиянии на развитие ребенка будут представлены в докладе.
