Abstract

Purpose: Maternal-fetal attachment in a pregnant woman is important for her health and for her child's emotional stability. This study was done to identify the contribution of maternal fatigue, social support, and Taegyo to maternal-fetal attachment based on a survey of pregnant women. Methods: The study was a descriptive correlation study. Participants were 211 from two women's health clinic centers. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Mean scores for maternal-fetal attachment, Taegyo, maternal fatigue, and social support were 93.74 (range 25-125), 64.76 (17-85), 24.12 (10-40), and 54.43 (22-132), respectively. There were significant differences in maternal-fetal attachment according to parity, breast feeding experience, and putting prenatal education into practice. Multiple regression analysis showed that the key determinants of maternal-fetal attachment, were Taegyo (${\beta}$=.67), maternal fatigue (${\beta}$=.21), and social support (${\beta}$=.13), and these explained 55% of the total variance of attachment. Conclusion: The results suggest a need to encourage Taegyo in prenatal management program and provide methods for fatigue resolution and promotion of social support.

목적 본 연구의 목적은 산전 임부를 대상으로 태아애착, 태교실천, 피로 및 사회적 지지 정도를 확인하고 태아애착에의 영향 요인을 파악하는 데 있다. 방법 대상자는 월평균 분만 100건 이상의 여성전문병원에 산전관리를 위해 외래를 방문한 임부 중 임신합병증을 동반하지 않은 건강한 임부 211명이다. 일반적 특성에 따른 태아애착의 차이를 비교하였으며 태아 애착을 평가하기 위한 Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale, 태교실천은 Mun과 Choi (2002)의 도구, 피로를 측정하기 위해 Milligan 등(1997)이 개발한 Fatigue Symptom Checklist 및 Curry 등(1994)의 사회적지지 측정도구를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, Stepwise multiple regression analysis를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과 임부의 태아애착 정도는 $93.74{\pm}13.69$점(점수범위 25-125점)이었으며 산과력, 모유수유 경험 및 태교 경험에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 초임부, 모유수유 경험이 없는 경우, 태교 경험이 있는 경우 태아애착 정도가 유의하게 더 높았다. 임부의 태아애착은 태교실천(r=.71, p < .001), 피로(r=.15, p =.032), 사회적 지지(r=.38, p <.001)와 정적 상관관계에 있었고 태교 실천 정도는 사회적 지지 정도와 유의한 정적 상관관계를 보였다(r=.40, p <.001). 임부의 태아애착에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 태교실천(${\beta}=.67$), 피로(${\beta}=.21$), 사회적 지지(${\beta}=.13$) 순으로 나타났으며 설명력은 55.2%였다. 결론 임부의 태아애착 증진을 위해 태교실천 및 태교실천 프로그램 효과를 입증하는 하나의 근거자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이며 임부의 피로를 단순히 임신증상으로 인식하는 수준에서 벗어나 이를 태교실천을 통해 중재하는 것이 필요할 것이다. 또한 사회적 지지를 통해 태교실천을 더욱 더 잘 실천함으로 태아애착이 증진될 수 있을 것이다.
