Abstract

Maternal-fetal attachment is crucial for a mother to establish a healthy psychological relationship with her unborn baby. This relationship progresses during the week of gestation. Many studies support the evidence of the impact of maternal-fetal attachment on mothers’ mental well-being during both antenatal and postnatal. For a baby, maternal-fetal attachment is essential to determine his development. Family, particularly the husband, plays an essential role in supporting the mother to experience positive maternal-fetal attachment during pregnancy. This study was to investigate the relationship between family support with maternal-fetal attachment among expectant mother. This sample was drawn using the purposive sampling method based on criteria that include mothers in their third trimester, mothers with any age range, mothers with no complications during the current pregnancy, and mothers who stay together with their husbands and or family. Seventy-seven expectant mothers completed the Indonesian version of the Prenatal Attachment Inventory and family support questionnaires. Kendal tau was applied to calculate the statistical relationship between two variables (p0.05). The results showed that more than 50% mother obtained support from their family, and more than 50% mother have high score of maternal-fetal attachment. There were a significant relationship between family support and maternal-fetal attachment (p 0.000). The conclusion of this study was that there were a significant relationship between family support with maternal-fetal attachment. This finding provides evidence of the significant role of family support for maternal mental well-being through maternal-fetal attachment during pregnancy. Therefore, healthcare providers have to invite the husband or family to engage in support for the mother during their pregnancy.

Abstract

Maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) makes an essential contribution to maternal and fetal health and influences the adoption of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. Mothers who have a strong MFA tend to have healthy behaviors and give birth to healthy babies. Mothers who feel emotionally connected to their fetus tend to be more motivated to take care of their own health. They realize that their health directly affects the health of the developing baby. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of maternal-fetal attachment in primigravida in the third trimester. The quantitative descriptive research method was used with 85 primigravida mothers who have met the inclusion criteria (third-trimester primigravida; no complications during pregnancy, self-examination at the Sleman regional public health centre) and have participated in this study. The Indonesian version of the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) questionnaire is used to review maternal-fetal attachments in a face-to-face interview. The results of the study provide an overview of the fact that most primigravida mothers in the third trimester have high maternal-fetal attachment scores. In addition, effective information communication and education for pregnant women were identified as factors that contributed to the level of maternal-fetal attachment. Effective maternal-fetal attachment-related programs in the education of new-reproductive couples are needed to be developed and implemented by health workers, including by midwives.
