Psychological Distress in mothers of preterm infants
Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 1995Co-Authors: Elaine C. Meyer, C T Garcia Coll, Ronald Seifer, Adriana Ramos, Erny KilisAbstract:The purpose of this study was to identify infant and maternal characteristics that predict Psychological Distress among mothers of preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infant characteristics included birth weight, gestational age, and ventilatory support, and maternal characteristics included age, parity, and socioeconomic status. Mothers (n = 142) completed questionnaires including a demographic form, the Parental Stressor Scale, and the Symptom Checklist 90-R. In hierarchical regression analyses, maternal NICU-specific Distress was more strongly predicted by infant characteristics [F(3,135) = 6.80, p < .05] with maternal variables covaried. Maternal general Psychological Distress was more strongly predicted by maternal characteristics [F(3,135) = 6.05, p < .05]) with infant variables covaried. Twenty-eight percent of mothers reported clinically significant Psychological Distress compared with 10% in a normative population. Psychological Distress among mothers of preterm infants appears to be common and deserves clinical consideration. The use of standardized questionnaires as part of the assessment process may improve case identification and psychosocial service delivery in the NICU.

paternal Psychological Distress and child problem behavior from early childhood to middle adolescence
Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2019Co-Authors: Eirini Flouri, Zahra Sarmadi, Marta FrancesconiAbstract:Objective To explore whether paternal Psychological Distress is related to the longitudinal course of child problem behavior after accounting for maternal Psychological Distress. Method We used data from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), a large general-population birth cohort in the United Kingdom. Maternal and paternal Psychological Distress was measured with the Kessler 6-item Psychological Distress Scale (K-6) at child ages 3, 5, 7, 11, and 14 years. Problem behavior was measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire at these ages. Data were analyzed using growth curve modeling, before and after adjustment for confounders (N = 13,442). Results The effect of paternal Psychological Distress was weaker than that of maternal Psychological Distress. However, even after adjustment for maternal Psychological Distress and confounding, paternal Psychological Distress predicted all four domains of child problem behavior that we examined (hyperactivity, conduct, emotional, and peer problems). Child problem scores were generally lower in biological father families, but the effect of paternal Psychological Distress was the same for children in biological and nonbiological father families and did not depend on the level of maternal Psychological Distress. High levels of paternal Psychological Distress predicted some problems (emotional symptoms and hyperactivity) more strongly in boys than in girls. Conclusion There was evidence for a robust association between Psychological Distress in fathers and problem behavior in their offspring. Our findings suggest that the mental health of both fathers and mothers is important for the behavior of their children.

Perceived discrimination, social support, and Psychological Distress in transgender individuals.
PsyCh journal, 2020Co-Authors: Sobia Falak, Faiza Safdar, Nuzhat‐ul‐ainAbstract:The present study aimed to find the relationship among perceived discrimination, social support, and Psychological Distress in transgender individuals (TIs) and the predictors of Psychological Distress in TIs. A correlational research design was used in the present study. It was hypothesized that there would likely to be a positive relationship between perceived discrimination and Psychological Distress and that there would likely be a negative relationship between social support and Psychological Distress. It was also hypothesized that perceived discrimination would predict Psychological Distress. Permission for using the questionnaires was taken from the authors of the original tools and the authors of the Urdu translated versions of the tools. The sample of 111 participants with an age range of 20-65 years was recruited by using purposive and non-probability snowball sampling techniques. The Everyday Perceived Discrimination Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to determine perceived discrimination, social support, and Psychological Distress, respectively, in TIs. Results revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between perceived discrimination and Psychological Distress, a significant negative relationship between social support and Psychological Distress, and there was also a significant negative relationship between perceived discrimination and social support. Additional findings revealed that perceived discrimination was found more in younger TIs than older TIs while social support from significant others was greater for younger TIs than for their older counterparts.

Lung cancer stigma is a predictor for Psychological Distress: A longitudinal study.: Lung cancer stigma is a predictor for Psychological Distress.
Psycho-oncology, 2021Co-Authors: Shiho Rose, Allison Boyes, Brian Kelly, Martine Cox, Bnutdiet, Kerrin Palazzi, Christine L. PaulAbstract:OBJECTIVES To examine if baseline stigma predicts Psychological Distress at 3 months and 6 months follow-up among patients newly diagnosed with lung cancer. METHODS This longitudinal study was nested within a larger randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants were recruited via respiratory and oncology out-patient clinics in Australia (n=194). Consenting participants were asked to complete surveys at baseline, 3 months and 6 months post-recruitment. Measures included lung cancer stigma (Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Scale) and Psychological Distress (General Health Questionnaire 12). RESULTS One-hundred and ninety-four participants were included for analysis. Most were male (57.7%) with a mean age of 68 years (SD=8.8). A significant relationship between baseline lung cancer stigma and Psychological Distress at six months was found, where a one unit increase in lung cancer stigma increases Psychological Distress by 0.044 when adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, baseline GHQ-12 scores and intervention allocation (as part of the larger trial; p=0.001; β=0.044, 95% CI=0.010, 0.079). CONCLUSION Temporal links between lung cancer stigma and Psychological Distress was found at 6 months, suggesting stigma-related experiences may have a delayed impact. Development of routine lung cancer stigma assessments is recommended to identify those at risk of Psychological Distress. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
