“…Secure attachment is a basic human need necessary for the formation of a close and confidential relationship between infants and their caregivers (Hong and Park, 2012). Attachment acts like an invisible connection that helps maintain a close relation between the mother and the child and is considered an important part of a child's development (Salehi and Kohan, 2017). Bowlby (1969), who introduced the attachment theory, defined attachment as "a set of internal behaviours that would cause the infant to become closely related to his/her main caregiver, who is usually the mother".…”

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the selected factors (age, education, parity, child planning, skin-toskin contact (SSC) support, breastfeeding, partner support satisfaction, a child with an illness, risk of depression) and their influence on postpartum mother-infant bonding (MIB) in Slovak women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used. To collect the relevant data, the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were used. The questionnaires were supplemented by research variables essential for the evaluation of the links between these items and the MIB. The study sample consisted of 204 women (mean age 30.9 ± 4.8 years) who were 6 weeks after childbirth. The received data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon two-sample test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Regression modelling. Results: A lower quality mother-infant relationship was demonstrated in mothers with higher education, with unsupported postpartum SSC, dissatisfied with partner support, as well as in mothers at risk of depression. According to the regression model, a statistically significant correlation was demonstrated between the PBQ score and the EPDS score (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Identification of MIB risk factors with an emphasis on screening for the mother's mental state is considered to be a key factor in designing early interventions to improve the quality of pregnancy, motherhood and childhood.

“…This relationship promotes healthy development in the baby, both mentally and physically, and this should continue after the birth. 7 Depressive symptoms and anxiety experienced during the prenatal or postnatal period may have a negative effect on the mother's feelings towards her baby. She may have low sensitivity to her baby or remain unresponsive to her baby's reactions and needs, and her responses may also be inconsistent.…”

“…Aspek ini dapat dilihat ketika ibu berkenan untuk menghadapi setiap masalah kehamilan demi kebaikan janinnya. Perilaku tersebut menunjukkan bahwa terdapat empati dan emosi ibu untuk janin yang ada di dalam dirinya (Kohan & Salehi, 2017). Aspek perilaku (interaction with the fetus and role taking) merupakan perilaku yang muncul pada ibu hamil karena keberadaan janin dalam dirinya (Doan & Zimerman, 2008).…”

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif non-eksperimental dengan metode korelasional. Fenomena Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) yang tinggi di Indonesia, khususnya di Purwakarta, menjadi dasar dilakukannya penelitian dimana adanya kelekatan ibu dan janin merupakan salah satu variabel yang dapat mencegah angka kematian ibu hamil. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara persepsi dukungan keluarga (perceived family support) terhadap kelekatan ibu dan janin. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Purwakarta dengan mengadaptasi alat ukur Maternal Fetal Attachment dan Perceived Social Support from Family yang kemudian diberikan pada 120 responden. Teknik analisis yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah teknik regresi linear dengan program SPSS versi 16.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat terdapat korelasi yang signifikan pada persepsi dukungan keluarga terhadap kelekatan ibu dan janin (p<0,01) dengan kontribusi sebesar 9 persen. Selain itu, terdapat pula temuan tambahan dari analisis statistik lintas tabulasi data demografi responden terhadap kelekatan ibu dan janin yaitu terdapat pengaruh tingkat pendidikan terhadap kelekatan ibu dan janin. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa persepsi dukungan keluarga berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kelekatan ibu dan janin, serta pengaruh variabel pendidikan terhadap kelekatan ibu-jann perlu dikaji lebih lanjut.
