Parent-Infant Bond: The Connection Between Parents And Infants In The Nicu, Megan Casselberry, Anita Fagotti, Ava Gambucci, Emma Sardinskas, Carly Scheiner

Collaborative Research and Evidence shared Among Therapists and Educators (CREATE Day)

Objectives

• Define the challenges of parent-infant relations in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting
• Discuss the role of occupational therapy in fostering parent-infant bonding in the NICU
• Interpret evidence-based interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice to promote familial relations and social interactions amongst infants and parents

PICO Question
For infants in the NICU, what are evidence-based interventions within the scope of occupational therapy that increase parent-infant bonding?

A Swedish Translation And Validation Of The Mother-To-Infant Bonding Scale, Evalotte Mörelius, Anna Elander, Emmy Saghamre

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

© Author(s) 2020. Aim: This study aimed to test initial validity, reliability, and feasibility of the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale in a sample of Swedish mothers. Methods: A translation was performed through 11 steps using a forward–backward bilingual technique. For criterion validity, the Swedish translation of the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (S-MIBS) was compared with the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire, sub-scale 1 (PBQ1) and 2 (PBQ2) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in a sample of 63 Swedish mothers. Internal consistency was calculated with Cronbach’s alpha. For feasibility testing, the mothers were asked to grade their experience of S-MIBS and PBQ on a …

Evaluation Of The Bonding Strength Between Different Materials And Resin Cement Used For Cementing A Fixed Complete Prosthesis, Vinita Pankaj Ved

All ETDs from UAB

Statement of Problem: When a situation of full-arch edentulism is observed, CAD-CAM designed prosthesis have improved properties in comparison to conventional fixed dentures. Long term longevity of the prosthesis includes not only strength of the framework, but also enhanced bonding strength between the framework and implant coping. Purpose: To investigate the bonding strength between different polymer materials used for a monolithic metal-free fixed hybrid denture luted to Ti-Base using the push-out strength test. Materials and Methods: The experimental design consists of 20 specimens for each group, with a total of 7 groups (total = 140). The materials used in the …
