ABSTRACT
(1) Background:
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between (a) new mothers' styles of attachment to their own mothers with their representation of self as a mother as well as with their representation of one's mother as a mother, (b) new mothers' representation of self as a mother with their representation of one's own mother as a mother, and (c) their bonds with their children and their styles of attachment to their own mothers. (2)Methods:
A total of 86 mothers were interviewed approximately six months postpartum. The Adjective Checklist, a modified version of the Experiences in Close Relationships, and the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire were used in the study. (3)Results:
Analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between the new mothers' styles of attachment to their own mothers and both their representation of self as a mother and their representation of one's mother as a mother. The relationship between representation of self as a mother and representation of one's mother as a mother was also statistically significant. No statistically significant relationship was observed between the style of attachment to one's mother and the bond with one's child six months postpartum. (4)Conclusions:
A deeper understanding of the relationship between these variables may improve the help system directed at young mothers.Palavras-chave
