Relationships between parent-infant bonding, dyadic adjustment and quality of life, in an intra-partner sample.

The transition to parenthood represents a moment of change and adaptation in which the dyadic marital relationship becomes a triadic relationship. Facilitating a positive transition requires a thorough understanding of the explanatory model of the relationship between parental-infant bonding, dyadic adjustment and quality of life (QoL) from an integrative perspective of the family unit. The aim of this work was to analyse the relationships between parent-infant bonding, dyadic adjustment and QoL from an intra-partner perspective, 6-12 months after the birth of a child.
