“…As was noted for mothers massaging preterm newborns, mothers of full-term newborns have also benefited from massaging their newborns in at least two studies (Glover, Onozawa, & Hodgkinson, 2002;Gurol, & Polat, 2012). In a study from Korea, 57 newborns were given a 15-minute massage by their mothers every day for 38-days, and the mothers in the massage group were compared to a control group of non-massaging mothers( N=60) on the Maternal Attachment Inventory (Gurol & Polat, 2012).…”

Abstract:This review on newborn massage therapy research is based on literature searches of Pubmed, Medline and PsychInfo for studies published during the last six years to update a similar review published in 2010. In that review, massage therapy was noted to lead to greater weight gain and growth in preterm newborns who had received moderate pressure massage. The weight gain was thought to relate to increased vagal activity, gastric motility, insulin and IGF -1 levels resulting from the stimulation of pressure receptors during massage. The current review includes randomized controlled trial studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effects of massage therapy on both preterm and full -term newborns. Immediate effects have been noted for massage therapy during painful procedures such as the heelstick for preterm newborns and vaccinations for full-term newborns. Although most of the studies have focused on the effects of different oils used in massage therapy to enhance weight gain in preterm newborns, other conditions that have benefited from massage therapy include hyperbilirubinemia, feeding intolerance and brain injury. Mothers of preterm newborns have also experienced less depression, stress and anxiety after massaging their infants. Although very few studies have been conducted with full-term newborns, this review includes research on the effects of massage therapy on sleep patterns in full term newborns and their mothers, on hyperbilirubinemia, pain, colic, cortisol and HIV. Despite the methodological limitations noted for some of these studies including small sample sizes and the need for more randomized controlled trials on a standard moderate pressure massage protocol, the data converge to suggest that newborns benefit both physically and developmentally from being massaged by their mothers during the newborn period and their mothers also benefit when they are providing their newborns massage.

“…En posteriores adaptaciones, la puntuación se ha mantenido similar: en las versiones china y coreana de 0.94 (28,29) , en la brasileña de 0.907 (30) , en la turca de 0.85 y de 0.96 (31,32) y finalmente, 0.90 en la australiana (33) . Cabe señalar, que las puntuaciones obtenidas no se encuentran asociadas a una escala, ni a una clasificación de apego materno, por lo que la finalidad de este cuestionario ha sido medir el grado de apego y comparar los grupos a estudio.…”

Introducción: el apego materno es el conjunto de conductas y vínculos que la madre establece en torno al recién nacido. El ingreso en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales supone una barrera en el establecimiento de estos primeros lazos. Objetivo: el principal objetivo del presente estudio es comparar el grado de apego valorando dicha separación, así como identificar aquellas variables que podrían influir en su establecimiento. Material y métodos: un total de 82 madres, divididas en dos grupos (O-U), participaron en este estudio ex postfacto comparativo causal mediante la cumplimentación del cuestionario Maternal Attachment Inventory, la entrevista y la revisión de la historia clínica. Resultados: se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la puntuación MAI entre madres del Grupo Obstetricia (99’67) y del Grupo UCIN (91’64), del mismo modo se señaló la edad gestacional y la alimentación como factores influyentes. Discusión y conclusión: la separación tras el ingreso en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales dificulta el establecimiento de los primeros vínculos maternos. Es necesario valorar los diferentes factores que influyen en esta situación y realizar futuras intervenciones para mejorar la relación materno-filial.
