- Abstract
The long-term effects of the Cues intervention to reduce anxiety and enhance the interactive behavior of mothers of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants were investigated. A randomized trial comparing the Cues intervention to an attention control condition was conducted. A total of 122 mothers of newborns weighing < 1,500 g were randomized, and 96 participated in a follow-up assessment when the infants were 6 months corrected age. Maternal outcomes included anxiety, posttraumatic stress and depression, and mother–infant interaction. The Bayley Scales were used to assess infant development. Mother’s anxiety was not significantly lower in the Cues group (27.8 [SD = 7.9]) compared with the control group (30.5 [SD = 10.0]; p = 0.14). Mothers in the Cues group were not more sensitive in interactions with their infants. There were no differences between groups with respect to infant development. Thus, there was no evidence of any differential beneficial effects of the Cues program.
