Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The development of the children is assessed by their parents with the Ages and Stages questionnaires (ASQ; Squires, Potter & Bricker, 1999) en de Ages and Stages questionnaires - Social Emotional (ASQ-SE; Squires, Bricker & Twombly, 1999). The Infant Toddler Scales (ITSC; DeGangi et al., 1995) specifically evaluates infants selfregulation skills. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) is used to study behaviourproblems. Development of extreme preterm children is studied at the follow up clinic of the NICU with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID II; Van der Meulen et al. 2002) The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ; Koeter & Ormel, 1991) asks for well being and stress of the mothers. The DS14 (Denollet, 2005) evaluates personality characteristics as negative emotionality and social inhibition. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, Spinhoven et al., 1997) specifically focusses on anxiety and depressive complaints of the mothers. Mother-infant interaction is observed during a daily meal and assessed with the Emotional Availability Scales (EAS; Biringen) as well as an evaluation of eating behaviour (Chatoor et al., 2000). The Working Model of the Child Interview (WMCI; Zeanah, Benoit, Barton & Hirshberg, 1996) informs on the quality of the relationship between mother and child.
