“…Based on a study done in Butajira, about 20 km away, children whose mothers experienced common mental disorders and expressed symptoms were more likely to drop out of school or be absent during preschool and early elementary school (Mekonnen et al, 2018). Maternal depression has also been shown to potentially negatively affect children's Intelligence Quotient (Wu et al, 2018). Various studies, however, have documented that early identification, intervention, and treatment of maternal depression had positive impacts on the women (Baron et al, 2016), and the resources provided were important in allowing them to not only manage their own symptoms but also to engage with their children to enable them to reach their full potential (Mekonnen et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2018).…”

Objectives: Mental disorders are vastly underdiagnosed in low-income countries that disproportionately affect women. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of common mental disorders in newly postpartum women, and stigma associated with mental health reporting in an Ethiopian community using a validated World Health Organization survey.Methods: The Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) for psychological distress was administered in Amharic by nurses to 118 women aged 18–37 years who had given birth in the prior 3 months in the Glenn C. Olsen Memorial Primary Hospital in Yetebon. Mental health stigma among the four nursing staff was assessed using Link and Phelan's Components of Stigma.Results: Among 118 women surveyed, 18% had a probable common mental disorder using the SRQ 4/5 cutoff and 2% admitted to suicidal thoughts. Presence of stigma in the healthcare staff was verified, including labeling, stereotyping, separating, and status loss and discrimination.Conclusion: Postpartum mental health disorders as well as stigma against such diagnoses are common in the Yetebon community. There is an urgent need for increased availability of properly trained and supervised healthcare staff in the identification and referral of postpartum women with common mental disorders.

“…Confirming previous findings (Wu et al . 2019), mothers’ antenatal psychological resources (presence/absence of antenatal distress) were highly influential and featured in more than half the paths to Good and Poor language. No maternal antenatal distress (AD) was present exclusively in paths to Good language and antenatal distress only present in paths to Poor language; this is an unexpected example of symmetry.…”

Background Children who experience adversity are more vulnerable to language difficulties. Early interventions beginning antenatally, such as home visiting, are provided to help prevent these problems. To improve the precision of early interventions, the impact of combinations of risk and protective factors over time must be explored and understood. There is, however, limited research investigating how such factors interact with intervention to change language outcomes over time. Aim To explore the different paths that lead to Good and Poor language in a cohort of children experiencing adversity whose mothers received an optimal dose of the Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home visiting (MECSH) intervention over 2.5 years. Methods & Procedures A total of 24 low socioeconomic status (SES) mothers experiencing adversity and their children who received more than half the scheduled dose of the MECSH intervention were followed over time: from before birth to school entry. Data were extracted from surveys and direct measurement over the study course. Child language outcome at school entry and the influence of seven key child, maternal and environmental factors, which have been shown in previous research to result in Good and Poor language outcomes, were explored through qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). QCA is a qualitative analytical technique that provides a deeper understanding of factor combinations influencing language development. Outcomes & Results Multiple paths to Good (six paths) and Poor language (seven paths) were found. Paths with mostly protective factors resulted in Good language, except when maternal antenatal distress was present. Paths with two or more influential risks usually resulted in Poor language outcomes. When children experiencing adversity received the MECSH home visiting intervention, there was no one risk or protective factor necessary for Good or Poor language outcomes; however, there were clear patterns of factor combinations. Conclusions & Implications Mothers’ antenatal psychological resources were a flag for future language concerns which can be used to improve the precision of the MECSH intervention. They were highly influential to their children's Good and Poor language outcomes by 5 years, when over time they were combined with characteristics such as early childhood education, poor maternal responsivity and/or the number of children in the home. Knowledge of early conditions associated with later Poor language can help clinicians identify and respond in preventative and promoting ways to improve language skills.

A single mother has to face quite complicated conditions, especially for children with special needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many activities have changed due to large-scale social restrictions in Jakarta and its surroundings, including studying and teaching. All educational activities are conducted online. Single mothers have to consider fulfilling their children’s needs while dealing with their children doing online school. This qualitative research uses a phenomenological study of four single mothers as participants with special needs children aged 15-22 years who struggle to raise them. This study shows that mothers have strong resilience because they adapt to conditions and need support from family, friends, and the environment.
