Brief Summary

Establishing a strong bond between mother and infant is crucial for fostering healthy relationships in the future. This research sought to investigate the correlation between mother-to-infant bonding and sensory processing, as well as the connection between prematurity and sensory processing in 12-month-old infants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale

  The Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale is a tool designed for evaluating mother-infant bonding. Comprising 10 items on a 4-point scale, this scale yields a total score ranging from 0 to 30. Higher scores on the scale are indicative of poorer mother-to-infant bonding.

  15 minutes

• Test of Sensory Functions in Infants

  The test consists of 24 items divided into five subtests: sensory processing and reactivity. subtests include: deep pressure, adaptive motor functions, visual-tactile integration, ocular-motor control, and vestibular stimulation. By observing the baby's response, items are scored from negative to normal according to the criteria provided; Items are given 0, 1 or 2 points depending on the baby's reaction.
