Abstract
- Purpose To determine whether congenital anomaly visibility affects maternal-infant attachment levels. Design and Methods The study population consisted of mothers who had infants with cleft lip/palate or congenital heart anomalies who were receiving treatment in a university hospital. The data were collected using the Structured Questionnaire Form and the Maternal Attachment Inventory. Results Statistically significant differences in maternal-infant attachment levels were observed between infants with cleft lips/palates and healthy infants and between infants with congenital heart anomalies and healthy infants. Practice implications It is important to apply appropriate nursing interventions for these mothers during the postpartum period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
