“…De fato, uma série de estudos tem evidenciado uma associação entre a ocorrência da depressão pós-parto e o pouco suporte oferecido pelo parceiro ou por outras pessoas com quem a mãe mantém relacionamento (Beck, 2002;Beck, Reynolds, & Rutowsky, 1992;Brown et al, 1994;Deal & Holt, 1998;Kumar & Robson, 1984;Pfost, Stevens, & Lum, 1990;Romito, Saurel-Cubizolles, & Lelong, 1999), o não planejamento da gestação, o nascimento prematuro e a morte do bebê (Kumar & Robson, 1984), a dificuldade em amamentar (Warner, Appleby, Whitton, & Faragher, 1996), e a dificuldades no parto (Brown et al, 1994). Além disso, alguns estudos mostram uma associação entre a depressão da mãe e eventos de vida estressantes, como: problemas de saúde da criança (Romito et al, 1999); dificuldades relacionadas ao retorno ao trabalho (Hock & DeMeis, 1990;Murray et al, 1995); e adversidades sócio-econômicas (Seguin, Potvin, St Denis, & Loiselle, 1999).…”

“…Embora a experiência da maternidade de mulheres que apresentam sintomas depressivos após o nascimento do bebê seja ainda pouco explorada, alguns estudos que investigaram esse tema foram consistentes ao mostrar que mães deprimidas comumente relatam mais dificuldades em exercer a maternidade do que mães não-deprimidas (Downey & Coyne, 1990;Hock & DeMeis, 1990;Lovejoy, Graczyk, O'Hare, & Neuman, 2000;McKim, Cramer, Stuart, & O'Connor, 1999;Rutter, 1990). Alguns desses estudos mostraram que mães deprimidas definiram-se como menos competentes, menos ligadas emocionalmente às suas crianças, mais dependentes e isoladas socialmente (Milgron & McCloud, 1996), relataram menos confiança e satisfação com o desempenho do papel materno do que mães não-deprimidas (Anderson, Fleming, & Steiner, 1994;Brown et al, 1994;Fowles, 1996;Panzarine, Slater, & Scharps, 1995), e tenderam a descrever seus bebês como crianças com temperamento difícil (Brown et al, 1994;Campbell & Marcus, 1987;Mebert, 1991;Whiffen, 1990).…”

ResumoO presente artigo examina algumas questões teóricas e estudos empíricos a respeito do impacto da depressão pós-parto para a interação mãe-bebê. Analisam-se as características da depressão pós-parto e fatores de risco associados à sua ocorrência. Discutem-se, em particular, as repercussões do estado depressivo da mãe para a qualidade da interação com o bebê e, conseqüentemente, para o desenvolvimento posterior da criança. Os estudos revisados sugerem que a depressão pós-parto afeta a qualidade da interação mãe-bebê, especialmente no que se refere ao prejuízo na responsividade materna. Por outro lado, apontam que os efeitos da depressão da mãe na interação com o bebê dependem de uma série de fatores, o que não permite a realização de um prognóstico baseado em fatores isolados.Palavras-chave: depressão pós-parto; interação mãe-bebê; desenvolvimento sócio-emocional AbstractThe impact of postpartum depression to mother-child interaction. The present article examines some theoretical aspects and empirical studies related to the impact of postpartum depression to mother-child interaction. The characteristics of postpartum depression and the risk factors related to its occurrence are also examined. Furthermore, it discusses the consequences of maternal depressed state to mother-child interaction and to child development. The revised studies suggest that postpartum depression negatively affects the motherchild interaction quality, particularly maternal responsivity. On the other hand, studies show that postpartum depression effects on mother-child interaction depend on various factors, which makes it impossible for us to make predictions based on any isolated factor.Key words: postpartum depression; mother-child interaction; socio-emotional development A interação mãe-bebê e sua relação com o desenvolvimento posterior da criança representam uma área de grande interesse entre os pesquisadores do desenvolvimento infantil. As investigações conduzidas nesse sentido têm enfatizado tanto as contribuições maternas quanto as contribuições do próprio bebê para a qualidade da interação (Brazelton, 1988; Klaus & Kennel, 1993;Klaus, Kennel & Klaus, 2000). Dentre os fatores que contribuem com o processo interativo, o papel exercido pela depressão pós-parto tem sido abordado por inúmeras investigações nas últimas décadas, devido às evidências de que o estado depressivo da mãe pode repercutir negativamente no estabelecimento das primeiras interações com o bebê e, em conseqüência, no desenvolvimento afetivo, social e cognitivo da criança (Cummings & Davies, 1994;Dodge, 1990;Field, 1998;Tronick & Weinberg, 1997).O exame da literatura demonstra que grande parte dos estudos que versam sobre a interação bebê-mãe deprimida aborda as implicações da depressão pós-parto para a interação nos primeiros meses após o nascimento da criança, considerando-se a maior incidência dos quadros depressivos nesse período (Campbell, Cohn & Meyers, 1995). No entanto, evidências de que muitas mulheres permanecem com os sintomas por um período prolongado ...

“…The degree to which a woman benefits from occupying multiple roles (i.e., mother, wife) is determined by many other factors, such as the number of hours she works (Shehan, 1984), the consonance between her work status and work preferences (Hock & DeMeis, 1990;Klein et al, 1998), her income (Rosenfield, 1989), and how much her husband contributes to family work (Berardo, Shehan, & Leslie, 1987;Glass & Fujimoto, 1994).…”

This study examines the degree to which the division of household and child-care tasks predicts working-class women's well-being across the transition to parenthood. Women completed questionnaires about the division of labor and their well-being before the birth of their first child and upon returning to work. Results showed that violated expectations regarding the division of child care were associated with increased distress postnatally, and there was some evidence that this relationship was moderated by gender ideology. Traditional women whose husbands did more child care than they expected them to do were more distressed. Work status also moderated the relationship between violated expectations and distress. The results suggest that the division of child care is more salient in predicting distress than the division of housework, for working-class women, at this time point.Family roles have undergone many changes in the United States over the past 50 years. What was considered the traditional family arrangement in the 1950s (mom stays home, dad works) is clearly no longer the norm. In 2000, both parents were employed in 64.2% of married-couple families with children under 18, whereas the father, but not the mother, was employed in only 29.2% of married-couple families. In 2000, the labor force participation rate of married mothers was 69.8%, with 55.8% of married mothers with children under a year old in the work force (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2000). These employment trends demonstrate that employed women who also claim the title of mother are clearly in the majority. Little is known about how the transition into the parent role, while maintaining one's work and marital roles, affects women's well-being. The goal of this study is to explore this phenomenon for working-class women. Multiple Roles and Women's Mental HealthMuch research has explored the effects of employment on women's mental health. Barnett and Hyde (2001) cite empirical data to support the notion that multiple roles are beneficial for women's mental health. Indeed, much research suggests that employed mothers enjoy greater psychological well-being than mothers who are housewives (e.g., Glass & Fujimoto, 1994;Hyde, Klein, Essex, & Clark, 1995;Kessler & McRae, 1982). However, other studies have not found significant differences in the mental health of housewives versus employed women (e.g., Klein, Hyde, Essex, & Clark, 1998;Lennon, 1994). These inconsistent findings may be explained, in part, by examining both paid and unpaid work together. For example, Rosenfield (1989) found that housewives were typically more depressed than employed women, with one exception: housewives were less depressed than the most overloaded employed women (fullCorrespondence concerning this article should be addressed to Maureen Perry-Jenkins, Tobin Hall, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003. mpj@psych.umass.edu.

“…Although some researchers believe that women, compared to men, still consider their career less important (7,22), other findings suggest that women with a salient work role often return to work after giving birth and prefer to work rather than stay at home (23). The importance of career also strongly differs between women with traditional gender ideology, and feminists (24,25).…”

The aim of this research was to determine the salience of work and family roles and to study the connection between role salience and the interference of different types of roles among working men and women. Self-assessment measurement scales were applied. The research involved 206 participants; 103 employed married couples from different regions of Croatia. The results show that roles closely connected to family are considered the most salient. However, men are mostly dedicated behaviourally to the role of a worker. Women dedicate more time and energy to the roles of a spouse, a parent, and a family member whereas men are more oriented towards the leisurite role. The highest level of conflict was perceived when it comes to work disturbing leisure. Gender differences appeared only for work-to-marriage conflict, with men reporting higher conflict than women. The research found proof of only some low correlations between the salience of different types of roles and work-family conflict.
