RESUMEN
La calidad del cuidado una variable es determinante en el desarrollo infantil temprano: en Centros de Educación Inicial (CEI), las interacciones Cuidador Secundario Profesional (CSP)-infante constituyen el núcleo de dicho proceso. El propósito de esta investigación fue evaluar la relación entre la sensibilidad de las CSP y el comportamiento de base segura de los infantes con su desarrollo sociocognitivo. Participaron 34 díadas CSP-infante de CEI del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. Se utilizó el MBQS, el AQS y la EECSC. Las CSP tuvieron niveles de sensibilidad adecuados (M = 0.59), pero los infantes no construyeron vínculos de apego con ellas (M = 0.26) debido al corto tiempo de interacción. Tanto la respuesta sensible activa-animada de las CSP (r = 0.51) como el comportamiento de base segura de los infantes (r = 0.4) se asociaron con su desarrollo sociocognitivo. Se sugiere que las CSP permanezcan con el mismo grupo de infantes durante toda su estancia en el CEI.
ABSTRACT
Quality of care is a potentially important determinant of child outcomes. Professional Secondary Caregiver (PSC)-child interactions constitute the core of process quality. The purpose of the study was to examine the association between the PSC's sensitivity, child security -as assessed with the scores derived from Q-Sort descriptions (MBQS and AQS)- and socio-cognitive development (as derived from an assessment) in an accidental sample of 34 dyads trough a cross-sectional study. PSC were highly sensitive (M = .59) but children had less than 4 months interacting with them and showed it was insufficient time to establish a secure base relationship. Adequate and appropriate responses from the nonmaternal caregiver to communication and signs the infant is making relate to the child's socio-cognitive development. More stable and long term PSC-child relationships would lead to better outcomes in child development, therefore, allowing the PSC to spend more time with the same group of children would be ideal.
