What signs do researchers use to describe the beginning of a mother-infant bond?
Developing a bonding assessment makes the choice of indicators and the setting of observation visible to readers.
Who was studied?
Mothers recruited in a hospital maternity service in Türkiye
Age / stage: Early postpartum
Read with three questions
- What signs do researchers use to describe the beginning of a mother-infant bond?
- What evidence supports the reliability and validity of the measure for these particular respondents?
- Which features of the study population (mothers recruited in a hospital maternity service in Türkiye) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The instrument was developed in a single hospital maternity service. Early signs recorded there may not capture how a parent and infant interact after they return home.
