The relations among mothers' touch patterns and mothers' internal states, and touch situations in infants at 6 months: On the depression, anxiety, parenting stress, feeling of touch, and self-concept

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the mothers' touch patterns in several caring situations depending on their internal states. Participants were 299 mothers of 6 months olds. The mothers were asked about type of touch and situations when they touched their babies. The touch situations were categorized into 2 groups(physiological situations vs socialㆍemotional situations). The difference in touch and touch situations according to mothers' depression, anxiety, parenting stress, the feeling of touch, and self-concept were analysed using Chi-Square Test separately. The results revealed that all mothers used soft and affectionate touch in the physiological caring situations regardless of their internal states. On the other hand, the results revealed that in socialㆍemotional caring situation, mothers' touch patterns were different according to their internal states: mothers with more stable internal states were more likely to use the types of touch causing positive emotions than mothers with unstable internal states. The results of our study indicated that mothers use different touch patterns in the two caring situations depending on their internal states.
