Muito embora se saiba que a prematuridade é um importante factor de risco no desenvolvimento do bebé, pouco sabemos acerca dos mecanismos pelos quais tal acontece. Com vista a estimar o impacto da prematuridade na circunstância de a criança poder vir a ser maltratada pelos pais, uma amostra de 82 mães e 80 pais foi estudada nas seguintes dimensões: percepções e expectativas a respeito do bebé (antes e depois do nascimento do bebé), história de abuso, potencial de abuso, stress parental e ligação afectiva ao bebé. Os resultados mostram que há um risco aumentado de o bebé prematuro poder vir a ser maltratado pelos pais, bem como apontam para os mecanismos pelos quais esta circunstância pode vir a ocorrer.
Despite the knowledge that prematurity is an important risk factor in child development, little is known about the mechanisms through which this occurs. In order to estimate the impact of prematurity in the circumstances of the probability of a child being maltreated by his/her parents, 82 mothers and 80 fathers were studied in the following dimensions: perceptions and expectations towards the baby (before and after birth), history of abuse, abuse potential, parent stress and emotional attachment with flue baby. Results prove that there is a higher risk for a premature baby to be maltreated by his/her parents, and furthermore, point out the mechanisms through which this circumstance may occur.
