Early observations of parent\u2013infant interactions may provide opportunities to identify babies at risk of neglect and EM. This prospective study tests, in the first fortnight of life, the feasibility of using an observation tool previously validated for use at 2 to 7\u00a0months of age.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Women awaiting induction of labour were recruited in South Wales in July 2016. Women consented to being contacted postnatally and video recordings of mother\u2010infant interaction at two home visits between 7 and 10\u00a0days (T1) and 8\u201312\u00a0weeks old (T2). Demographic details, information on the pregnancy, delivery, and infant condition were obtained at T1. A questionnaire was completed at T2 to capture any significant events affecting the parent\u2013infant relationship. The Parent\u2010Infant Interaction Observation Scale (PIIOS) was used to score the videos. Exclusion criteria included admission to neonatal unit.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Recruitment of suitable participants and full research data completion were feasible. Of 60 women who consented to be contacted post\u2010delivery, 30 women (31 infants) participated at T1 and T2. Three babies were excluded. Women accepted being observed in their homes with their babies, with no attrition between T1 and T2. Using the PIIOS 10 of the 13 items could be scored with an awake infant under 2\u00a0weeks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These encouraging findings can inform exploration of an observation tool to identify high\u2010risk dyads for targeted support. A trial and test of a modified scoring system (based on the PIIOS) should be developed for a future study using a larger sample size. Further research should assess if this approach reliably produces a consistent valid screening tool to assess parental sensitive responsiveness and resilience promoting behaviours at this early stage of life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.12637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,26]],"date-time":"2018-12-26T16:19:16Z","timestamp":1545841156000},"page":"271-285","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Using an observation tool (Parent\u2013Infant Interaction Observation Scale) to assess parent\u2013infant interaction in the first 2 weeks of life: A feasibility study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1631-5923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aideen","family":"Naughton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Safeguarding Team Public Health Wales  Cardiff Wales"},{"name":"Division of Population Medicine, School of Medicine Cardiff University  Cardiff Wales"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucinda","family":"Perkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Unit Singleton Hospital  Swansea Wales"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bethan","family":"McMinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Community Child Health Division Singleton Hospital  Swansea Wales"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Kemp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Population Medicine, School of Medicine Cardiff University  Cardiff Wales"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","volume-title":"Patterns of attachment: Assessed in the strange situation and at home","author":"Ainsworth M.","year":"1978"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","volume-title":"A pilot study to evaluate the accuracy of health visitor assessments of the quality of mother\u2010infant interactions","author":"Appleton J.
