This study focalizes the attention on the birth experience in different ethnic groups, analysing relationship styles in 30 mother-infant couples (10 Chinese, 10 African, 10 Italian), considering the influence that stress may have on newborns behavioural outcome. An anamnestic questionnaire (in particular, socio-economical conditions and migration data), the NBAS to evaluate the neuro-behavioural outcome of the newborns and an observation of the mother-baby relationship during the breast feeding in the first 24-48 hours of life (Richards e Bernel, Hall et al.) have been used. We conclude that stress related to the migrant condition could influence the relationship in the dyad (evoking a poor pre and postnatal attachment) and alter the neuro-behavioural outcome of the newborns. These aspects should be taken under consideration when organizing services for pregnant women.

Abstract
This study focalizes the attention on the birth experience in different ethnic groups, analysing relationship styles in 30 mother-infant couples (10 Chinese, 10 African, 10 Italian), considering the influence that stress may have on newborns behavioural outcome. An anamnestic questionnaire (in particular, socio-economical conditions and migration data), the NBAS to evaluate the neuro-behavioural outcome of the newborns and an observation of the mother-baby relationship during the breast feeding in the first 24-48 hours of life (Richards e Bernel, Hall et al.) have been used. We conclude that stress related to the migrant condition could influence the relationship in the dyad (evoking a poor pre and postnatal attachment) and alter the neuro-behavioural outcome of the newborns. These aspects should be taken under consideration when organizing services for pregnant women.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
