Parent-Child Interaction Model
Kathryn E. Barnard
RN, Ph.D
Charles and Gerda Spence Professor in Nursing
Family and Child Nursing
University of Washington |
In the 1970s, when Barnard began her
studies of infants and their mothers, there was
minimal appreciation of the connections between
earliest communication, touch, brain growth, and the
ways humans develop the social, emotional and
behavioral capacities to self-regulate, connect with
others, and experience the world as a safe and
predictable place. Even less was known about
research-based protocols to help health care workers
assess infant development and intervene to promote
parent-infant interaction. Without empirically derived
guidelines, clinicians were hampered in their
abilities to diagnose infants at risk for neglect,
abuse, or developmental delays and even less certain
about how to stimulate parenting that would enhance
infants' cognitive, emotional, and behavioral
development.
In 1971, through a contract with the US Public Health
Service, Division of Nursing, Barnard developed a
system for assessing behaviors of infants and parents
during the routine interactions of feeding and
teaching and identified environmental factors that are
critical to a child's later cognitive and language
development. In 1976 she pioneered a strategy for
disseminating these research-based assessment methods
to nurses and other health professionals, using
satellite technology. This revolutionary program,
internally recognized as the Nursing Child Assessment
Satellite Training (NCAST) program, was first taught
in a series of eight classes delivered via satellite
transmission of audio-video classes to 19 cities in
the United States.
