Purpose: The objectives of this study were to translate and modify the Assessment of Mother–Infant Sensitivity scale into a Chinese version ( modified AMIS-C) and to examine its reliability with preterm and term Taiwanese mother–infant dyads. Method: A total of 241 mother–infant pairs (179 preterm dyads and 62 term dyads) were prospectively recorded and their behaviour in feeding assessed using the modified AMIS- C when infants were at 4 and 6 months corrected age. A subset of the sample was used for interrater reliability testing, and the whole sample was used for assessment of internal consistency. Results: Interrater reliability was high for the modified AMIS-C section and total scores (intra -class correlation coefficients=0.91–0.99). Internal consistency was good to excellent for the maternal section and total score ( =0.71–0.86) and was fair to good for the infant and dyadic section score ( =0.44–0.75). Conclusions: The modified AMIS-C scale is a clinically feasible and reliable instrument for assessing mother–infant interaction of preterm and term dyads during early infancy. ; 醫學系小兒科 ; 醫學系 ; 醫學院 ; 期刊論文
