A self-completed questionnaire survey was performed 1 year after birth among 305 mothers who gave birth to term infants at maternity hospitals in the Hokuriku region. The survey content included : state of infant cries (characteristics of the cry and frequency, occurrence of crying at night, and the period when cries at night were observed), mother s sleeping condition and health condition, status of night feeding, support, feelings of mothers, and period when mothers began to understand the reasons for the infant s cries. In this study, the frequency of maternal distress regarding infant s crying was converted to a score, with higher scores indicating higher levels of distress related to crying. The number of valid responses was 251 (rate of valid response, 82.3%). One hundred eighty-five mothers reported night crying (73.7%), and night crying occurred most often around 6 to 8 months. The period when mothers felt they understood the reasons for the infant s cries was at 7 to 8 months in the majority of cases, and 1 year at the latest. At 1 year after birth, only approximately 20% of mothers reported feelings of distress related to crying. The results indicated that maternal distress associated with child crying is related to nuclear family, presence of someone to talk to about childcare, characteristics of infant s cry, mother s health condition, and mother s feelings toward childcare.1年児の泣きとその母親の泣きに対する困難感の実態を明らかにすることを目的とし た。  北陸地方の病産院にて正期産児を出産した母親305名を対象に、出生後1年時に、自己記 入式質問紙調査を実施した。調査内容は、児の泣きの状態(泣き方の特徴や頻度、夜泣き の有無と夜泣きの時期等)、母親の睡眠・健康状態、夜間の授乳状況、サポート状況、児が 泣いた時の母親の気持ちや泣きの理由がわかるようになった時期などである。本研究にお いては、児が泣くと戸惑う母親の頻度を得点化し、得点が高いほど、泣きに対する困難感 が高いと解釈した。有効回答は251名(有効回答率823. %)であった。乳児の夜泣きは、185 名(737. %)の母親にみられ、夜泣きの時期は6~8ヶ月頃が最も多かった。母親が児の泣 きの理由がわかるようになったと感じる時期は、大部分が7~8ヶ月頃から遅くとも1年 までであった。1年時においては、泣きに対して戸惑う母親は2割程度であった。泣きに 対する母親の困難感には、核家族、子育て相談者の存在、児の泣きの特性、母親の健康状態、 育児に対する母親の気持ちやなどが関連していることが明らかとなった。, [原著:Originals]}, pages = {45--52}, title = {Relationship between maternal distress associated with 1-year-old infant crying}, volume = {35}, year = {2011} }
