Aim: To systematically review the efcacy of parenting interventions in improving thequality of the relationship between mothers and preterm infants.Method: Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials (RCT) of parenting interven-tions for mothers of preterm infants where motherinfant relationship quality outcomeswere reported. Databases searched: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO andWeb of Science.Results: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria, 14 with strong methodological quality.Eight parenting interventions were found to improve the quality of the motherpreterminfant relationship.Conclusions: Heterogeneity of the interventions calls for an integrated new parenting pro-gram focusing on cue-based, responsive care from the mother to her preterm infant toimprove the quality of the relationship for these motherpreterm infant dyads.

birth
, the average preterm birth rate is approximately 11% (Blencowe et al., 2012). For mothers, the preterm birthe feelings of guilt, helplessness, grief at the loss of the pregnancy, and anxiety and fear for their infants futurer, Lopez, Sjourn, Denis, & Chabrol, 2011; Whittingham, Boyd, Sanders, & Colditz, 2013). Preterm birth is alsoith signicant mortality and short and long term morbidity for the child, with increased prematurity leading to
alth risk (Clark, Woodward, Horwood, & Moor, 2008; Greco et al., 2005; Laws & Hilder, 2008). Medical concerns lung dysfunction, chronic respiratory disease, seizure disorders, cerebral palsy (McCormick, McCarton, Tonascia,unn, 1993), deafness and blindness (Lorenz, Wooliever, Jetton, & Paneth, 1998).

The medical condition of the infant can lead to the absence of close physical contact between the mother and the infant(Amankwaa, Pickler, & Boonmee, 2007). It may also nd the mother withdrawing from her critically ill preterm infant toprotect herself from disappointment, guilt and hurt (Miles, Holditch-Davis, & Burchinal, 1999). This can increase mater-nal depression and anxiety, and decrease maternal responsiveness (Amankwaa et al., 2007; Borghini et al., 2006; Fiese,Poehlmannrelationshipties can leadFor motherabout the d

preterm infant relationship difculties
preterm infant dyads can be at higher risk of relationship difculties than motherfull-term dyads (Borghini; Forcada-Guex, Pierrehumbert, Borghini, Moessinger, & Muller-Nix, 2006; Wille, 1991). Only 20 and then 30%
of preterm infants had secure attachment representations at 6 and 12 months respectively following the birtho 53 and 57% in a term comparison group (Borghini et al., 2006). They were also less likely than mothers withfants to have a cooperative dyadic pattern of interaction and demonstrate balanced representations of their

the Strange Situation task (Wille, 1991).udies have found the distribution of maternal attachment classications (Korja et al., 2009), infant attachmentns (Pederson & Moran, 1996) and motherinfant attachment relationships (Pederson & Moran, 1995) did noteen preterm and full-term groups. (Borghini et al., 2006; Forcada-Guex et al., 2006). A systematic review con-ilar results for all three categories (Korja, Latva, & Lehtonen, 2012). Of the 29 studies included in the reviewproximately half found maternal attachment representation difculties, insecure infant attachment, or interac-
vior and affect differences for the motherpreterm infant dyads. Variables such as socioeconomic status, infantl impairment, and altered maternal representations due to the contrast between prenatal expectations andxperience were cited as possible reasons for the disparity (Korja et al., 2012). Several other studies have alsoeconomic status (Borghini et al., 2006; Wille, 1991), infant neurological impairment (Brisch, Bechinger, Betzler,nn, 2003) and the contrast between prenatal expectations and postnatal experience (Borghini et al., 2006; Evans,m, & Boyd, 2012; Korja et al., 2009) to have a negative impact on the quality of the motherpreterm infant.analysis using the standardized Strange Situation task to assess infant attachment, also found the distribu-term attachment classications to be similar to that of normal samples (IJzendoorn, Goldberg, Kroonenberg,1992). In contrast, there was a decrease in secure attachment and an increase in insecure ambivalent
for children whose mothers had maternal problems, including mental illness, maltreatment and being ather (IJzendoorn et al., 1992). Interestingly, mental illness (Brandon et al., 2011), maltreatment (Noll, Trickett,utnam, 2009) and being a teenage mother (Chen et al., 2010), have been found to be higher in moth-erm births compared to mothers of term births. Other maternal factors including unresolved grief (Shah,
Poehlmann, 2011) and decreased maternal responsiveness (Fuertes, Lopes-dos-Santos, Beeghly, & Tronick,ing a preterm birth have also been related to insecure infantmother attachment. This evidence suggests that
hment maybe affected by maternal rather than infant problems, and difculties could be higher in preterm where these maternal problems exist. Focusing on maternal problems may therefore help improve attach-
ing interventions
parenting interventions can increase maternal sensitivity which can increase infant attachment security-Kranenburg, Van Ijzendoorn, & Juffer, 2003). This can be explained through the transactional model, where thehich the preterm infants biological problems impacts upon development depend upon the infants caregivingt (Sameroff & Chandler, 1975). Improving the infants caregiving environment through parenting interventionsund to improve attachment and relationship outcomes for motherpreterm infant dyads (Kang et al., 1995;Milgrom, & Skouteris, 2009; Pridham et al., 2005)

ng the quality of the motherpreterm infant relationship can have consequences for the infants later development& Rodning, 1996; Forcada-Guex et al., 2006; Wijnroks, 1998). Decreased motherpreterm infant relationshipicted increased behavioral problems and decreased personal-social development at 18 months-of-age (Forcada-
2006). Alternatively, increased levels of maternal involvement predicted improved cognitive status at both 12

The infodelivery locst 50 years, a decrease in preterm infant mortality has led to an increase in the number of mothers and theirants who will be exposed to these attachment and relationship difculties (Goldenberg & Rouse, 1998). Examiningns which are effective in reducing these difculties may lead to improved outcomes for these dyads. The primaryaper was to systematically review the literature to determine the efcacy of parenting interventions in improving
outcomes between mothers and their preterm infants. The secondary aim was to identify at the post intervention, if the delivery location, content, intensity, duration or delivery mode of these interventions determined whichterventions are most effective in improving relationship outcomes between mothers and their preterm infants.
re search strategy
tematic review followed the guidelines of the Cochrane Review Group search strategy (Higgins, Green, &n, 2008). The following databases were comprehensively searched by two reviewers (TE and KW in the: Cochrane
96April 2013), PubMed (1951April 2013), CINAHL (1982April 2013), PsycINFO (1966April 2013) and Web1900April 2013). The search strategy comprised the following MESH headings or key words:
infant or prematurity;enting intervention OR parent education OR intervention OR parent intervention;chment OR motherinfant interaction OR mother infant interaction OR parentinfant interaction OR parentteraction.
n criteria
ad to meet the following inclusion criteria:
ized control trials (RCT) or quasi-RCT;m infants born 37 weeks gestation;ndomized studies, single case studies, observational studies;
not addressing interventions or without a clear explanation of the intervention; that did not have a control group; without available means and standard deviations, standardized outcome measures or outcome measures notng attachment and/or the motherinfant relationship.
lt of the screening process to identify relevant articles is presented in Fig. 1.lationships can be measured in three ways, either as a dyad where the mother and the infant are assessed, orrspective of the mother, or from the perspective of the infant. All three have been included in this review.

Means and standard deviations werer continuous variables and the number of occurrences was extracted for categorical variables.
tative data synthesis
ies reported results for the control and experimental groups. For continuous variables, the reported meansrd deviations for both groups were used to perform a t test to determine if there was a signicant differ-en the groups who received the parenting intervention compared to the control groups. For studies with twonterventions, each intervention group was compared to the control group, using each groups mean, stan-ion and sample size to calculate a t test value (Browne & Talmi, 2005; Kang et al., 1995; Neu & Robinson,mean difference, condence intervals and effect sizes were also calculated. For categorical variables, a chi

e original intention of this review to conduct a meta-analysis of all the data using RevMan 5. The diversity ofs used to measure outcomes meant a meta-analysis was only possible for three studies (Browne & Talmi, 2005;
et al., 2007; Kang et al., 1995). Measures used included observation, self-report questionnaire, interview or an of these. Some of the measures using continuous variables provided an overall mean and standard deviationoup, while others reported a mean and standard deviation for each discrete mother and/or infant behavior.
e behaviors measured varied between studies. Measures using a categorical variable reported the number ofs for each outcome. Studies using the same assessment measure, reported assessment times that varied.
en RCTs (11) or quasi-RCTs (6) met the inclusion criteria. Results were calculated on a total of 1940 participants,experimental groups and 953 in the control groups (see Table 2). Fourteen of the 17 RCTs were considered to

Of the 14 RCTs, 14 different parentingns were identied, eight nding an improvement in the quality of the motherpreterm infant relationship.

The Kangaroo Holding and Traditional Holding programswere the same as outlined above for motherinfant dyadic outcomes, except mothers were encouraged to use blanketholding with their infants in the Traditional Holding group (Neu & Robinson, 2010). Three interventions found a negativeeffect on the motherinfant relationship for infants (Meijssen et al., 2010; Neu & Robinson, 2010; Parker-Loewen & Lytton,1987).

The current literature is limited by the heterogeneityaches with regards not only to the structural framework of the interventions but also the assessment measures
is evidence for the efcacy of eight different parenting interventions: MITP, SM, NSTEP-P, IBAIP, GP, Kangarooaditional Holding, and an individualized family-based intervention (Kaaresen et al., 2006; Kang et al., 1995;
al., 2010; Meyer et al., 1994; Neu & Robinson, 2010; Newnham et al., 2009; Ravn et al., 2011; Schroeder &06).t effective interventions showing large effect sizes were very similar in intensity and duration of sessions;rs over 8 weeks (Neu & Robinson, 2010), 49 hours from hospital stay to three months post discharge (Newnham), 4 hours during the hospital stay (Schroeder & Pridham, 2006) and 9 home visits to 5 months-of-age (Kang). All these interventions except the MITP (Newnham et al., 2009) were delivered by nurses. The Kangaroo andlding (Neu & Robinson, 2010) and the MITP (Newnham et al., 2009) interventions combined hospital and homehile the GP intervention was delivered in hospital (Schroeder & Pridham, 2006) and the N-STEP-P program at
et al., 1995). All these interventions promoted cue-based care, that is, maternal care that is given to the infant to the infants behavioral cues, and sensitive responsive mothering. This is consistent with attachment theory88).a-analysis revealed the SM program had a benecial effect for both high and low education mothers at vehowever this effect did not extend to the infants in the low education group (Kang et al., 1995). Perhaps mothersants require more than a 1-hour intervention to reinforce the information sufciently to be able to continuent responsive cue-based care to their infants past the initial 1.5-month assessment period. This could explained infant relationship quality at ve months ca after the low education mothers had received the more intenseP program (Kang et al., 1995).ative relationship effects found for infants were for orientation and signalling to the mother (Parker-Loewen &7), the vitality in the infants positive bids for the mothers attention (Neu & Robinson, 2010), and the infantsn the environment instead of focussing on the mother (Meijssen et al., 2010). This could indicate that interventionre overstimulating their infants, causing the infants to turn away or to have less involvement in the relationship.ns focusing on cue-based care could enhance the infants relationship with the mother by helping the mothersnfants cues and responding to signals of overstimulation.rogeneity of the outcome measures made it difcult to compare the results of the interventions and this is aaw of the existing research. As interaction between mothers and infants is not achieved in a simple unidirectionalt through a complex process of synchrony (Osofsky & Connors, 1979), it is important for future research to assessof the motherpreterm infant relationship using an observational measure where both the mother and the infant
simultaneously. The measure should rate the quality of the interaction rather than discrete counts of behavior toelationship, as the number of times a behavior occurs does not represent the sensitivity of the mothers response008).otherpreterm infant dyads are at risk for developing relationship difculties (Borghini et al., 2006; Forcada-Guex
Wille, 1991). Mothers can enhance the relationship, as mothers who respond sensitively to their infants in the life, are more likely to have children that develop secure attachments to them (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall,e attachment relationships can be enhanced by responding sensitively during caregiving activities and interactionant, which not only enhances their relationship and but also her caregiving capabilities (Bowlby, 1988). Consistentment theory, this systematic literature review identied that interventions promoting cue-based, responsiveves the motherpreterm infant relationship (Kang et al., 1995; Neu & Robinson, 2010; Newnham et al., 2009;
Pridham, 2006) which may enhance the infants later development (Beckwith & Rodning, 1996; Forcada-Guex Wijnroks, 1998).iew has identied the wide variety of existing parenting interventions for mothers of preterm infants with vary-on improving the quality of their relationship.

After assessment, mothers of at-risk dyads could receive the parenting intervention. Assessingntion in an RCT would help to determine if there was a direct effect on enhancing the motherpreterm infant. This RCT should be longitudinal in nature as there is not only a lack of long-term relationship quality evidence
