Abstract

Background:Despite its clinical and public policy-making importance, neonatal abuse has been only minimally studied.Purpose:To identify predictors of mothers’ emotional abuse towards their infants at 1 month after childbirth.Methods:We studied a cohort of 252 women at three time points: late pregnancy and 5 days and 1 month after childbirth. At each time point, the women were administered a set of questionnaires about their depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale), bonding towards the foetus or neonate (Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale and Postnatal Bonding Questionnaire, respectively), and, at 1 month after childbirth, emotional abuse (Conflict Tactic Scale).Results:Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that neonatal emotional abuse was predicted by bonding difficulties at 5 days after childbirth but not by depression at that time point.Conclusion:Assessment for maternal bonding problems in the early post-natal period should be routinely performed by perinatal health professionals.
