| Resumen:The objective of the present study was: (a) to identify the concerns, verbally expressed, of 50 mothers
regarding their preterm infants (PT) and then compare their verbal expression with those of 25 mothers
of full-term infants (FT); and (b) to correlate the mothers’ verbal expressions with maternal and infant
variables. The following instruments were used to compose and characterize the sample: Structure Clinical
Interview for DSM III-R Non-Patient (SCID/NP), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Depression
Inventory (BDI), and medical charts. Results showed that there was no difference between groups in term
of mothers’ expectations and conceptualizations; both groups exhibited predominantly positive expectations
and concepts. In comparison with FT mothers, PT mothers verbally expressed more feelings and reactions
predominantly negative or conflicting in relation to infant birth. Higher levels of maternal anxiety and
depression in the PT Group were correlated with more verbal expressions about negative or conflicting
emotions. In addition, lower birth weight, higher neonatal risk and longer length of stay in intensive care
nursery of the infants were related with more negative or conflicting concepts by the mothers. // El objetivo de este estudio era: (a) identificar las preocupaciones, expresadas verbalmente, de 50 madres con respecto a sus niños prematuros (PT) y después comparar su expresión verbal con la de 25 madres de niños nacidos a término (FT); y (b) correlacionar las expresiones verbales de las madres con variables maternas e infantiles. Se emplearon los siguientes instrumentos para componer y describir la muestra: Entrevista Clínica Estructurada para DSM-III-R No-Pacientes (Structure Clinical Interview for DSM III-R Non-Patient; SCID/NP), Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; STAI), Inventario de Depresión de Beck (Beck Depression Inventory; BDI), y registros médicos. Los resultados mostraron que no había diferencias entre los grupos en términos de las expectativas y conceptualizaciones de las madres; ambos grupos exhibieron predominantemente expectativas y conceptos positivos. En comparación con las madres FT, las madres PT expresaron verbalmente más sentimientos y reacciones predominantemente negativos o conflictivos con respecto al nacimiento del niño. Los niveles más altos de ansiedad y depresión maternales en el grupo PT correlacionaban con más expresiones verbales de emociones negativas o conflictivas. Además, el peso más bajo al nacer, mayor riesgo neonatal y una estancia más larga en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales de los niños se relacionaban con mayor número de conceptos negativos o conflictivos de las madres.
