“…A Massage Procedure was used in the study (n = 19) by Hansen and Ulrey, 20 with predominantly Caucasian, low-middle SES parents (age not reported) of infants aged from 3 to 19 months at the start of the intervention (mean and SD not reported), with a diagnosed motor delay or neuromotor deficit. The intervention comprised twice weekly sessions of 3-hour sensorimotor stimulation programming (duration not reported), involving special handling and massage techniques to facilitate relaxation and pleasurable interaction between infant and caregiver.…”

“…This was added to a standard early intervention program, all compared to the standard early intervention program only. Using an observation protocol adapted from the Foley and Hobin 21 attachment-separation-individuation profile, Hansen and Ulrey 20 rated sensory cueing, contact with people, behavior organization, and overall discrepancy/synchrony between parent and child, which was arrived at by comparing child and parent behaviors in each of these 3 domains.…”

Evidence-Based Parenting Interventions to Promote Secure Attachment

Various interventions are used in clinical practice to address insecure or disorganized attachment patterns and attachment disorders. The most common of these are parenting interventions, but not all have a robust empirical evidence base. We undertook a systematic review of randomized trials comparing a parenting intervention with a control, where these used a validated attachment instrument, in order to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve attachment in children with severe attachment problems (mean age <13 years). This article aims to inform clinicians about the parenting interventions included in our systematic review that were clinically effective in promoting secure attachment. For completeness, we also briefly discuss other interventions without randomized controlled trial evidence, identified in Patient Public Involvement workshops and expert groups at the point our review was completed as being used or recommended. We outline the key implications of our findings for clinical practice and future research.

“…Crnic & Greenberg, 1987). Possible influences on developmental outcome include medical procedures used in treating the infant, medical complications accompanying prematurity, and environmental experiences of the infant (Field, Sostek, Goldberg, & Shuman, 1979) including synchrony and reciprocity of caregiver-infant interactions (e.g., Brachfeld, Goldberg, & Sloman, 1980;Hansen & Ulrey, 1988;Holaday, 1987).…”

Labeling effects of infant health and parent demographics on nurses' ratings of preterm infant behavior

Nurses in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) provide early influences on hospitalized infants' neurobehavioral and social‐emotional development. Hence it is important to examine their perceptions of preterm infants. This research employed a 2 × 2 factorial design to examine the labeling effects of infant health status and parent demographics on 52 NICU nurses' ratings of premature infant behavior, attractive ness, general health, and responsiveness to developmental intervention. Behavioral descriptors were provided to orient participants to the infant behaviors they were to observe. MANCOVA and univariate ANCOVAs revealed significant differences as a function of the infant health variable, but not parent demographics, on the Premature Infant Behavior, Attractiveness, and General Health scales. Ratings were significantly more positive for the infant described as healthy compared with the one identified as having lung damage. The results extend the prematurity prejudice literature and highlight the need to recognize the operations of stereotypes and the possibility of self‐fulfilling prophecies. Future research directions are outlined.
