Disorganised Attachment Behaviour among Infants Born Subsequent to Stillbirth

Abstract: There is limited evidence that siblings of stillborn infants are more vulnerable to psychological problems. This case-controlled study examines the relationship between previous stillbirth and the next child's pattern of attachment and explores factors in the mother which may be associated with and which may explain the pattern of infant attachment. We examined 53 infants next-born after a stillbirth, and 53 control infants of primigravid mothers. Maternal demographic, psychiatric, and attachment data were col… Show more

“…Such women were reported to tend to exhibit more anxiety, which results in emotional withdrawal and avoidance of forming a bond with the child too early (Côté-Arsenault & Donato, 2011).

These observations are in conflict with the results of our study.…”

Unsere klinischen Erfahrungen bestätigen dies: Frauen haben oftmals Schwierigkeiten, sich emotional auf die Schwangerschaft einzulassen.…”

Verglichen mit den Ergebnissen von Hughes et al (2001) zu den Belastungen nach Spätabort in einer erneuten Schwangerschaft wiesen die Probandinnen unserer Stichprobe ein geringeres Maß an überschwelliger Belastung auf (< 28 %). Dennoch liegen die Werte unserer Stichprobe oberhalb der von Hughes ermittelten Beeinträchtigungen anamnestisch unbelasteter Frauen (8 %).…”
