Abstract

This study was conducted in order to identify factors influencing maternal-fetal attachment among pregnant women, considering the factors presented in Mercer's theory: Becoming a Mother(pregnancy stress, self-esteem, dyadic adjustment, sense of mastery, antepartum stress). The data was collected through structured questionnaires from 140 pregnant women who visited the obstetric clinic and public health centers in a metropolitan area to have prenatal tests from August 23th to November 25th 2014. The data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software using descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, the Pearson's correlation coefficients and a stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows: Maternal-fetal attachment in the group of pregnant women under 30 years of age was significantly higher than that in the group of over the age of 31(t=2.79,p=.004). Primiparas had higher maternal-fetal attachment than multiparas(F=3.27, p=.041). There was a negative correlation between pregnancy stress(r=-0.22, p=.009) and maternal-fetal attachment. Self-esteem (r=0.45, p<.001), dyadic adjustment(r=0.42, p<.001), sense of mastery(r=0.24, p=.005) and maternal-fetal attachment were, however, positively correlated. It was found that self-esteem, dyadic adjustment and age were some of the factors influencing maternal-fetal attachment among pregnant women. These variables explained 26.1% of the variance in maternal-fetal attachment. Findings of this study indicate needs for comprehension and assessment of self-esteem and dyadic adjustment in pregnant women through prenatal tests. Also, the intervention programs to improve maternal-fetal attachment among older mothers should be developed and implemented.

본 연구는 Mercer의 어머니되기 이론적 모델에서 제시한 태아애착행위의 영향 변수(임신스트레스, 자존감, 결혼적응도, 자아통제감, 산전우울)를 고려하여 임부의 태아애착행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 산전검사를 위해 산부인과와 보건소에 방문한 임부 140명을 대상으로 2014년 8월 23일에서 11월 25일에 걸쳐 자가보고식 형태의 설문조사를 하였다. 자료는 SPSS 20을 이용하여 평균과 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson의 상관관계, 단계적 회귀분석을 통해 분석되었다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 태아애착행위는 30세 이하 임부에서 31세 이상 임부보다 유의하게 높았고(t=2.79, p=.004), 초임부에서 경임부보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(F=3.27, p=.041). 태아애착행위는 임신스트레스(r=-0.22, p=.009)와 역상관관계를 보였고, 자존감(r=0.45, p<.001), 결혼적응도(r=0.42, p<.001), 자아통제감(r=0.24, p=.005)과는 정상관관계를 나타냈다. 임부의 태아애착행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 자존감, 결혼적응도, 나이로 밝혀졌으며, 전체 모형의 26.1%를 설명하였다. 본 연구결과는 산전관리를 통해 임부의 자존감과 결혼적응도에 대한 이해 및 사정이 필요하고, 고령 임부의 태아애착행위 증진 중재의 개발 및 적용이 필요함을 시사한다.
