Abstract To analyze the correlation between the intelligent development of the preterm infants and their maternal breastfeeding behavior and parenting competence. Methods: 40 preterm infants with the age of one year old who had born in the hospital and were abnormal evaluated by the Chinese version of developmental center for children (CDCC) from April 2021 to April 2022 were included in study group, and 50 preterm infants with normal CDCC score during the same period were included in control group. The clinical data of the preterm infants and their mother in the two groups were collected. The breastfeeding behavior and parenting competence of the women in the two groups were recorded. Spearman and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation between the intelligent development of the preterm infants and their maternal breastfeeding behavior and parenting competence. Results: There were no significant differences in the gender, the gestational weeks at birth, the cause of preterm birth, the postnatal complications, the maternal age, type and education level of the preterm infants between the two groups (P>0.05). The birth weight (2.09±0.18 kg) of the preterm infants in the study group was significantly lower than that (2.22±0.17 kg) of the preterm infants in the control group. The proportion of breastfeeding (52.5%) of the preterm infants in the study group was significantly lower than that (75.0%) of the preterm infants in the control group. The scores of the maternal parenting efficacy (36.76±2.08 points) and parenting satisfaction (43.78±2.87 points) evaluated by the Chinese version of parenting sense of competence scale (C-PSOC) of the preterm infants in the study group were significantly lower than those (40.89±1.02 points and 45.01±1.45 points) of the preterm infants in the control group (all P<0.05). The intellectual development of the preterm infants was positively correlated with their maternal breastfeeding behavior and parenting sense of competence (r=0.645 and 0.633, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the low birth weight, the maternal breastfeeding behavior and low parenting sense of competence of the preterm infants were the influencing factors of their intellectual development disorders (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The birth weight and their maternal breastfeeding behavior and parenting sense of competence of the preterm infants were closely related to their intellectual development, and which are all the factors influencing the intelligent development of the preterm infants, and so these preterm infants should be paid attention to in the clinical practice.
