  • Association between maternal antenatal depression and Infant Development: a hospital-based prospective cohort study

    Abstract:

    Objective To examine the association between antenatal depression and Infant Development after controlling for confounding factors. Methods A hospital-based prospective cohort study (Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children’s Health) was conducted between July 2002 and October 2005 in Sapporo, Japan. Of 309 mothers who delivered at Sapporo Toho Hospital during the study period and who agreed with the clinical assessment of depression, 154 mother–Infant pairs were eligible for analysis. Antenatal depression was assessed between the second and third trimesters using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and Infant Development was assessed at 6 months by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID-II). Data on potential confounders, including socioeconomic status, birth complications, postnatal depression and child care environment, were obtained from medical records and self-administered questionnaires. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted in which the EPDS score was entered as an independent variable and the BSID-II scores as a dependent variable, adjusting for confounders. Results Although the antenatal EPDS score tended to be related to the BSID-II score in the univariable analysis, this correlation was lost in the multivariable analysis. However, based on a series of linear regression analyses, antenatal depression was found to be significantly related to shorter gestational age ( β  = −0.25, 95 % confidence interval (CI) [−1.20, −0.17]), and shorter gestational age was significantly related to a lower BSID-II (mental Development) score ( β  = 0.23, 95 % CI [0.00, 0.00]). Conclusions Gestational age is an important confounder in the association between maternal antenatal depression and Infant Development. A delay in Infant Development may be related to a shorter gestational period caused by maternal depression during pregnancy.

  • Cognitive appraisals, coping strategies, and support resources as correlates of parenting and Infant Development.
    Developmental psychology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Rachel Levy-shiff, Lilly Dimitrovsky, Shmuel Shulman, Dov Har-even
    Abstract:

    By applying R. S. Lazarus's (1993) theoretical model, the authors explored the dynamics of stress and coping as central mechanisms underlying parenting adjustment and Infant Development. Longitudinal assessment of 140 primiparous mothers included measures of cognitive appraisals of parenting, coping strategies used, and supportive coping resources at pregnancy and 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months postpartum. Maternal outcome measures of adjustment included maternal well-being, parental efficacy, and observed behaviors of caregiving and affiliation. Infant Developmental outcome was measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (N. Bayley, 1993). All measures of the stress and coping model showed systematic Developmental changes across the transition to parenthood as well as relative stability of individual differences. In addition, the stress and coping variables were found to have additive and interactive effects in predicting both maternal adjustment and Infant Development.

  • Infant Development and Developmental risk: a review of the past 10 years
    Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 1997
    Co-Authors: Charles H. Zeanah, Neil W. Boris, Julie A. Larrieu
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Objective To review critically the research on Infant Developmental risk published in the past 10 years. Method A brief framework on Development in the first 3 years is provided. This is followed by a review of pertinent studies of Developmental risk, chosen to illustrate major risk conditions and the protective factors known to affect Infant Development. Illustrative risk conditions include prematurity and serious medical illness and Infant temperament, Infant-caregiver attachment, parental psychopathology, marital quality and interactions, poverty and social class, adolescent parenthood, and family violence. Results Risk and protective factors interact complexly. There are few examples of specific or linear links between risk conditions and outcomes during or beyond the first 3 years of life. Infant Development is best appreciated within the context of caregiving relationships, which mediate the effects of both intrinsic and extrinsic risk conditions. Conclusions Complex and evolving interrelationships among risk factors are beginning to be elucidated. Linear models of cause and effect are of little use in understanding the Development of psychopathology. Refining our markers of risk and demonstrating effective preventive interventions are the next important challenges.

  • prenatal and postpartum maternal psychological distress and Infant Development a systematic review
    Child Psychiatry & Human Development, 2012
    Co-Authors: Dawn Kingston, Suzanne Tough, Heather Whitfield
    Abstract:

    Infant Development plays a foundational role in optimal child Development and health. Some studies have demonstrated an association between maternal psychological distress and Infant outcomes, although the main emphasis has been on postpartum depression and Infant-maternal attachment. Prevention and early intervention strategies would benefit from an understanding of the influence of both prenatal and postpartum maternal distress on a broader spectrum of Infant Developmental outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of studies assessing the effect of prenatal and postpartum maternal psychological distress on five aspects of Infant Development: global; cognitive; behavioral; socio-emotional; and psychomotor. These findings suggest that prenatal distress can have an adverse effect on cognitive, behavioral, and psychomotor Development, and that postpartum distress contributes to cognitive and socio-emotional Development.
