Prematuritet och utveckling i familjesystemet: en systematisk litteraturöversikt
(2022) PSPR14 20212Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Preterm infants are at a heightened risk for developmental difficulties and more dependent upon their caregiving environment for regulation due to their neurological immaturity. A premature birth is also a major stressor to the family system that constitutes the caregiving environment. We conducted a systematic review of quantitative studies to investigate whether families of preterm children differ from families with full-term children in their family interactions. A second aim was to investigate what impact the quality of family interaction has on child development. Of the eleven studies included, nine were deemed to be of good quality, while two were deemed to be of poor quality. Our results show that the quality of family interactions... (More)

A second aim was to investigate what impact the quality of family interaction has on child development. Of the eleven studies included, nine were deemed to be of good quality, while two were deemed to be of poor quality. Our results show that the quality of family interactions is either equal or poorer in families of preterm children compared to families with full-term children. Importantly, the links between quality of family interactions and child development outcomes were stronger for preterm children compared to full-term children. Thus, the systematic review findings highlight the importance of strengthening family interactions, both for the sake of the family members and their interactions, and in order to promote the development of preterm children. Notably, the present review provides the first systematic overview of family function and quality of triadic interactions in preterm families. Given the limited number of studies with such focus, the potential for definitive conclusion is restricted. More observational studies, particularly in the period of post infancy, are needed in order to identify the specific aspects of family interactions that may be most influential for the development of children born preterm, and whether certain periods are sensitive to this end.

- Abstract (Swedish)
- Prematura barn löper en ökad risk för utvecklingsmässiga svårigheter och är givet sin neurologiska omognad mer beroende av omgivningen för reglering. En prematur födsel innebär också en stark påfrestning för det familjesystem som utgör barnets omgivning. Vi genomförde en systematisk litteraturstudie av kvantitativa studier för att undersöka huruvida familjeinteraktionsmönster skiljer sig åt mellan familjer med prematura och fullgångna barn. Ett andra syfte var att undersöka betydelsen av kvaliteten i familjeinteraktioner för det prematura barnets utveckling. Av de elva inkluderade studierna bedömdes nio vara av god kvalitet, medan två bedömdes ha svag. Detta är den första systematiska litteraturöversikten över familjefungerande i... (More)
- Prematura barn löper en ökad risk för utvecklingsmässiga svårigheter och är givet sin neurologiska omognad mer beroende av omgivningen för reglering. En prematur födsel innebär också en stark påfrestning för det familjesystem som utgör barnets omgivning. Vi genomförde en systematisk litteraturstudie av kvantitativa studier för att undersöka huruvida familjeinteraktionsmönster skiljer sig åt mellan familjer med prematura och fullgångna barn. Ett andra syfte var att undersöka betydelsen av kvaliteten i familjeinteraktioner för det prematura barnets utveckling. Av de elva inkluderade studierna bedömdes nio vara av god kvalitet, medan två bedömdes ha svag. Detta är den första systematiska litteraturöversikten över familjefungerande i prematurfamiljer. Resultatet visar att familjeinteraktionerna antingen likvärdiga eller av sämre kvalitet hos familjer med prematurer jämfört med familjer med fullgångna barn. Sambandet mellan kvaliteten i familjeinteraktioner och utveckling var dessutom starkare för prematurer än för fullgångna barn. Litteraturstudien påvisar därmed vikten av att stärka familjeinteraktioner bland familjer med prematurer, både med hänsyn till familjen och det prematura barnets utveckling. Bristen på studier inom forskningsområdet begränsar dock förutsättningarna att dra säkra slutsatser. Framtida forskning behövs för att undersöka vilka aspekter av familjeinteraktioner som gynnar prematura barns utveckling och i högre utsträckning tillämpa observationsmetoder, i synnerhet efter spädbarnsperioden där observationsstudier saknas helt.
