Quality of Mother–Infant Attachment after Physiological Birth
Authors
Abstract:
Background Childbirth affects the quality of mother–neonate attachment after delivery. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of mother–infant attachment in physiological delivery with non-physiological delivery after birth. Materials and Methods A case-control study was conducted on 60 women (n = 30 non- physiological delivery, 30 physiological delivery) referred to Shahid YahyaNejad Hospital (Babol city, Iran) durring 2015 to 2016. Subjects in the physiological delivery group received special care from the midwife or significant other, labor mobility, spontaneous progress of labor, and non-pharmacological methods. Subjects in the non-physiological delivery group received medical interventions including birth aids, use of analgesics, and local anesthesia. Quality of mother-infant attachment after delivery was assessed with a valid Persian version of Avant’s mother-infant attachment. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA) was also used to assess the differences in two groups. Results The mean of mother–infant attachment scores in the physiological delivery compared with non-physiological delivery group were as follows: emotional behavior (2.29 ± 38.7 vs. 1.56 ± 27.23), proximity behavior (1.82 ± 27.30 vs. 1.49 ± 20.70), caring behavior (1.17 ± 15.77 vs. 1.13 ± 10.80), and total score (4.58 ± 81.72 vs. 3.66 ± 58.73). Results showed that in all three dimensions of attachment (emotional, caring, and proximity behavior), physiological delivery showed higher scores than did non-physiological delivery (P < 0.05). Conclusion Thequality of mother–infant attachment (emotional, proximity, and caring behaviors) was higher in women with physiological birth than non-physiological birth.

Quality of survival after severe birth asphyxia.
Thirty-one children who survived severe birth asphyxia defined by a 1-minute Apgar score of 0, or a 5-minute Apgar score of less than 4, have been seen at age 5 to 10 years for neurological and psychological assessment. Their progress has been compared with that of controls matched for sex, birthweight, gestational age, and social class. 29(93%) of the 31 asphyxiated group and all the controls ...
full textMeasuring physiological changes during the transition to life after birth.
The transition to life after birth is characterized by major physiological changes in respiratory and hemodynamic function, which are predominantly initiated by breathing at birth and clamping of the umbilical cord. Lung aeration leads to the establishment of functional residual capacity, allowing pulmonary gas exchange to commence. This triggers a significant decrease in pulmonary vascular res...

Various studies have shown that neighborhood quality is linked to neighborhood attachment and satisfaction. However, most have relied upon residents’ own perceptions rather than independent observations of the neighborhood environment.

full textRelation of Chemical Attachment to Physiological Action of Vasopressin.
We have suggested in preliminary publications" 2 that the antidiuretic action of vasopressin in the mammalian kidney may depend on a sulfhydryl-disulfide interchange involving SH groups on the receptor and the S-S bridge of the hormone. Strong support for this concept is presented in the preceding paper' where it is shown that the vasopressin-induced increase in the permeability of a simple liv...
