THE ROLE OF INFANT FACTORS IN POSTNATAL DEPRESSION AND MOTHER‐INFANT INTERACTIONS

Murray, Lynne, Stanley, Charlie, Hooper, Richard, King, Fiona, Fiori‐Cowley, Agnese·1996·Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology

Abstract

SUMMARY: A large group of infants of primiparous women who were at high risk for postnatal depression (N=188) and a smaller group of those at low risk (N=43) were assessed in the neonatal period using the Neonatal Behavioural Assessment Scale. Poor motor scores and high irritability were strongly predictive of the onset of maternal depression by eight wéeks postpartum. These effects obtained after taking account of both maternal mood in the neonatal period and maternal perceptions of infant temperament. Poor motor scores and high levels of infant irritability in the neonatal period also predicted less optimal infant behaviour in face‐to‐face interactions with the mother at two months postpartum. Neonatal behaviour did not predict the persistence of depression, nor did it predict the quality of maternal behaviour in interaction with the infant. RÉSUMÉ: Le rôle des facteurs infantiles dans la dépression post‐ natale et les interactions mère‐enfant. Un groupe important de nourrissons de mères primipares à haut risque de dépression du postpartum (N=188) et un plus petit groupc de mères à faible risque (N=43) ont été examinées durant la période néonatale à l'aide de la Neonatal Behavioural Assessement Scale. Des scores moteurs médiocres et un degréélevé d'irritabilité ont été fortement prédictifs d'un début de dépression maternelle à huit semaines de post‐partum. Ces effets étaient obtenus en tenant compte à la fois de l'humeur maternelle dans la période néonatale et la perception maternelle du comportement de leur enfant. Des scores moteurs médiocres et un niveau élevé de l'irritabilité chez lc nourrisson durant la période néonatale prédisait également un comportcment infantile moins optimal dans l'interaction de face à face avec la mère deux mois après la naissance. Le comportement à la naissance ne prédisait pas la persistance de la dépression, ni la qualité du comportement maternel dans l'interaction avec son nourrisson. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Der Einfluβ kindlicher Faktoren auf postnatale Depressionen und Mutter‐Kind Interaktionen Eine große Gruppe von Säuglingen erstgebärender Mütter, die ein hohes Risiko für eine postnatale Depression hatten (N=188) und eine kleinere Gruppe solcher mit niedrigem Risiko (N=43) wurden in der Neugeborenenperiode mit Hilfe der Neonatal Behavioural Assessment Scale untersucht. Schlechte motorische Scores und hochgradige Empfindlichkeit waren wichtige Parameter für den Beginn einer mütterlichen Depression bis fünf Wochen postpartum. Diese Einfüsse blieben auch bestehen, nachdem man sowohl die Stimmung der Mutter in der Nconatalpcriode als auch ihre Einschätzungen des kindlichen Temperaments berücksichtigt hattc. Schlechte motorische Scores und hochgradige Empfindlichkeit des Kindes in der Neonatalperiode waren kein optimaler Parameter für das kindliche Verhalten bei Blickkontakt‐Interaktionen mit der Mutter im Alter von zwei Monaten post partum. Das Verhalten in der Neonatalperiode besagte nichts über das Fortbestehen der Depression, noch besagte es etwas über die Art des mütterlichen Verhaltens bei Interaktionen mit dem Kind. RESUMEN: Papel de los factores del recién nacido en la depresión postnatal y en las interacciones madre‐lactante; Un gran grupo de lactantes de mujeres primíparas de alto riesgo para la depresión postnatal (N=188) y un grupo más pequcño con bajo riesgo (N=43) fueron evaluados en el período neonatal utilizando la Neonatal Behavioural Assessment Scale. Los puntajes motores pobres y la alta irritabilidad fueron fuertemenie predictivos del inicio de una depresión materna a las ocho semanas postpartum. Estos efectos se obtuvieron después de tener en cuenta la manera de ser de la madre (su estado de ánimo) en el período neonatal y las percepciones maternas del temperamento del lactante. Los puntajes motores pobres y los altos niveles de irritabilidad el lactante en el período neonatal tambíen predijeron un comportamiento del lactante menos óptimo en su interacción con la madre a los dos meses del postparto. El comportamiento neonatal no predijo la persistencia de la depresión, ni la cualidad del comportamiento materno en su interacción con el lactante.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
