Clinical Trial 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.

Description:

At the age of four months, mothers will utilize the Mother-Infant Attachment Scale (MIBS) to evaluate the bonding between themselves and their infants. Subsequently, at 12 months old, the sensory processing abilities of the infants will be assessed using the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI). The study will encompass both preterm and term-born children.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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
Primary	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.	30 minutes
