“…ISS Wellbeing did not indicate depression, although CES‐D scores did (Radloff, 1991). Household disturbance (CHOAS) was extremely high compared to a general population sample (Coldwell, Pike, & Dunn, 2006). Scores were similar in both arms.…”

BackgroundPeople with bipolar disorder (BD) experience additional parenting challenges associated with mood driven fluctuations in communication, impulse control and motivation. This paper describes a novel web‐based self‐management approach (Integrated Bipolar Parenting Intervention; IBPI) to support parents with BD.MethodParents with BD with children aged 3–10 years randomised to IBPI plus treatment as usual (TAU) or waitlist control (WL). IBPI offered 16 weeks access to interactive self‐management information concerning BD and parenting issues. Feasibility was through recruitment, retention and web usage. Clinical outcomes were assessed at baseline, 16, 24, 36 and 48 weeks. Trial Registration Number: ISRCTN75279027.ResultsNinety seven participants were recruited with 98% retention to end of intervention and 90% to final follow‐up (56%–94% data analysed of retained participants; higher rates for observer measures). 77% of IBPI participants accessed the website (53% accessed parenting modules). Child behaviour, parenting sense of competence and parenting stress improved significantly in IBPI compared to WL to end of intervention, sustained to 48 weeks. Impacts of IBPI on family functioning, parent mood and time to mood relapse were not significant.ConclusionsOnline self‐management support for parents with BD is feasible, with promising improvements in parenting and child behaviour outcomes. A definitive clinical and cost‐effectiveness trial is required to confirm and extend these findings.

“…Among children, chaos in the home has been measured using a 15-item scale and is associated with lower socioeconomic status, worse emotional adjustment, delayed cognitive development, and more behavioral problems. 6,11,12 Previous studies have not directly measured chaos in adults. However, some research has implied that chaos may influence the health and health care of adults, having looked at issues of overcrowding, noise, and other similar factors.…”

“…The quality of parent-child interactions predicts the risk for psychopathology over the lifespan (Oakley Browne et al, 1995;Kendler et al, 2002;McEwen, 2003;Nemeroff, 2004a,b;Coldwell et al, 2006). Studies in the rat suggest direct effects of maternal care on the development of neural systems that regulate cognitive, emotional, and neuroendocrine responses to stress (Meaney, 2001) and thus influence vulnerability for mood disorders.…”

Maternal licking and grooming (LG) in infancy influences stress responsiveness and cognitive performance in the offspring. We examined the effects of variation in the frequency of pup LG on morphological, electrophysiological, and behavioral aspects of hippocampal synaptic plasticity under basal and stress-like conditions. We found shorter dendritic branch length and lower spine density in CA1 cells from the adult offspring of low compared with high LG offspring. We also observed dramatic effects on long-term potentiation (LTP) depending on corticosterone treatment. Low LG offspring, in contrast to those of high LG mothers, displayed significantly impaired LTP under basal conditions but surprisingly a significantly enhanced LTP in response to high corticosterone in vitro. This enhanced plasticity under conditions that mimic those of a stressful event was apparent in vivo. Adult low LG offspring displayed enhanced memory relative to high LG offspring when tested in a hippocampal-dependent, contextual fear-conditioning paradigm. Hippocampal levels of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors were reduced in low compared with high LG offspring. Such effects, as well as the differences in dendritic morphology, likely contribute to LTP differences under resting conditions, as well as to the maternal effects on synaptic plasticity and behavior in response to elevated corticosterone levels. These results suggest that maternal effects may modulate optimal cognitive functioning in environments varying in demand in later life, with offspring of high and low LG mothers showing enhanced learning under contexts of low and high stress, respectively.

Household chaos – links with parenting and child behaviour

Abstract: Household chaos is able to work in an additive way and predict children's problem behaviour over and above parenting, and is particularly potent when in combination with less positive/more negative parenting.
