GIRALDO-MONTOYA, Dora Isabel; CASTANEDA-PALACIO, Hellen Lucia y MAZO-ALVAREZ, Héctor Mauricio. Demographic factors related to maternal and child attachment. Univ. Salud [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.2, pp.197-206. ISSN 0124-7107. https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.171902.82.
Introduction:
Postpartum is one of the decisive moments to strengthen the attachment between the mother and child relationship; however, there are demographic factors that can limit this interaction and become a disadvantage for the proper development of the child.
Objective:
Determine the demographic factors related to maternal child attachment in the postpartum during the year 2014.
Materials and methods:
An analytical transversal study was carried out with a sample of 117 mothers with their newborn. The instrument Mother-child relationship was used. The variables to determine attachment were: breastfeeding, interest, response, language and tact. They were evaluated on a numerical scale whose final score allowed to determine whether there was a healthy or at-risk attachment. A logistic regression model was implemented to explore the association between demographic variables and at-risk attachment.
Results:
The median age was 27 years with an interquartile range between 22 and 31. 54.7% lived in free union and 34.2% had fulfilled high school studies. Healthy attachment was presented in 80.3% of the mothers. Nevertheless, 60.7% had low initial motivation for breastfeeding which could lead to at-risk attachment. Statistical association between at-risk attachment, marital status and schooling was found, but the only variable that explained this association was the civil status: single (RP=4.88 IC95% p=0.48).
Conclusion:
According to the multivariate model, at-risk attachment is associated with the civil status: single.
