“…In this study, the prevalence of FD diagnosis remained constant throughout the preschool period demonstrating the stability of the diagnosis over time. The presence of FD symptoms during the preschool period was 33.30%, which is consistent with findings from Linscheid, Budd, and Rasnake (2003) and Ramsey, Gisel, McCusker, Bellavance, and Platt (2002) whom found presence of feeding problems among 25-45% of children. The percentage of preschoolers presenting FD symptoms in our study decreased from 20.3% at age 3 to 12.9% at age 5, showing a gradual decreased, may be due to the fact that in this developmental period children learn a lot of social rules and decrease their easy distractibility during mealtimes.…”

The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of feeding problems during the preschool period and to explore the associations of feeding related behaviors with parenting practices. Participants were a large community sample of N = 622 children longitudinally assessed yearly at ages 3, 4 and 5 years-old through diagnostic interview and questionnaires reported by parents. The prevalence of children who met DSM-IV criteria for feeding disorder during the follow-up was 1.6%, the amount of children who presented feeding disorder symptoms was 33.3%, those with clinical impairment due to these symptoms were 25.7% and 11.6% reported seek for professional help related to feeding problems. Logistic regressions adjusted to children's sex and other DSM-IV diagnoses different to feeding disorder showed that the dimensions of parenting more strongly related to feeding related behaviors and ACCIÓN PSICOLÓGICA, dicembre 2015, vol. 12, n. o 2, 143-154. ISSN: 1578 144 impairment due to feeding problems were poor monitoring, inconsistence practices, corporal punishment, low norms and low autonomy. Although the prevalence of preschool children who met DSM-IV criteria for feeding disorder was relatively low, the presence of feeding related behaviors (symptoms, impairment and consultation) was common during this developmental period. Parenting practices are associated to the presence of these behaviors, and so they must be considered into the prevention and intervention programs.Keywords: feeding problems; parenting; preschool. ResumenEl objetivo del estudio es estimar la prevalencia de problemas relacionados con la alimentación durante el período preescolar y explorar las asociaciones de conductas relacionadas con la alimentación con las prácticas. Se estudió una amplia muestra comunitaria de niños (N = 622), que fue evaluada anualmente de forma longitudinal a la edad de 3, 4 y 5 años, mediante entrevistas diagnós-ticas y cuestionarios contestados por sus padres. La prevalencia de niños que cumplió criterios diagnósticos DSM-IV para recibir un diagnóstico de Trastornos de la Alimentación durante el seguimiento furede 1.6%, la cantidad de niños que presentó síntomas del trastorno llegó al 33.3%, los que presentaron deterioro clínico debido a estos síntomas fueron el 25.7% y hasta un 11.6% de las familias buscó ayuda profesional relacionada con los problemas relacionados con la alimentación. Los datos, analizados mediante regresiones logísticas ajustadas por el sexo de los niños y la presencia de otros diagnós-ticos DSM-IV, mostraron que las dimensiones de estilo parental más estrechamente relacionadas con los problemas y el deterioro relacionados con la alimentación fueron la pobre supervisión, las prácticas educativas inconsistentes, el castigo corporal, la baja presencia de nomas y la escasa autonomía. Aunque la prevalencia de niños preescolares que cumplían criterios diagnósticos para el Trastorno de alimentación fue relativamente baja, la presencia de problemas relacionados con la alimentación (síntomas, deterioro ...

“…Despite the above, the 'uncorrected' percentile of notably depressed mothers (34%) remains greater than the 8-15% reported for all women of similar age in the United States and mothers who delivered healthy full-term infants. [58][59][60] It is evident that the stress of having a sick VLBW infant is unique and likely more intense than delivering a healthy full-term infant. 18,22,25,61 This is supported by our observations that our subjects were stressed by their NICU experience (PSS:NICU), particularly by their inability to act as a parent (Parental Role Alteration).…”

Objective: (1) To compare maternal characteristics and psychological stress profile among African-American, Caucasian and Hispanic mothers who delivered very low birthweight infants. (2) To investigate associations between psychosocial factors, frequency of milk expression, skin-to-skin holding (STS), and lactation performance, defined as maternal drive to express milk and milk volume.Study Design: Self-reported psychological questionnaires were given every 2 weeks after delivery over 10 weeks. Milk expression frequency, STS, and socioeconomic variables were collected.Result: Infant birthweight, education, and milk expression frequency differed between groups. Trait anxiety, depression and parental stress in a neonatal intensive care unit (PSS:NICU) were similar. African-American and Caucasian mothers reported the lowest scores in state anxiety and social desirability, respectively. Maternal drive to express milk, measured by maintenance of milk expression, correlated negatively with parental role alteration (subset of PSS:NICU) and positively with infant birthweight and STS. Milk volume correlated negatively with depression and positively with milk expression frequency and STS.Conclusion: Differences between groups were observed for certain psychosocial factors. The response bias to self-reported questionnaires between groups may not provide an accurate profile of maternal psychosocial profile. With different factors correlating with maintenance of milk expression and milk volume, lactation performance can be best enhanced with a multi-faceted intervention program, incorporating parental involvement in infant care, close awareness and management of maternal mental health, and encouragement for frequent milk expression and STS.

Background: Postpartum depression occurs in 10% to 20% of women who have recently given birth, but fewer than half of cases are recognized. The purpose of this review is to discuss the potential benefit of mass screening for improving postpartum depression recognition and outcomes.Methods: A review of the literature was conducted by searching MEDLINE, using the key words "depression," "postpartum depression," and "mass screening." The Cochrane database was also searched for reviews on depression and postpartum depression.Results: Opportunities for routine postpartum depression screening include mothers' postpartum office visits and their infants' well-child visits. Although several depression screens have been used in postpartum women, additional studies using large representative samples are needed to identify the ideal screening tool. Depression screening plus "high-risk" feedback to providers improves the recognition of depression. However, for screening to positively impact clinical outcomes, it needs to be combined with systems-based enhanced depression care that provides accurate diagnoses, strong collaborative relationships between primary care and mental health providers, and longitudinal case management, to assure appropriate treatment and follow-up. Depression is common and costly, particularly for women in their childbearing years. The World Health Organization has identified major depression as the fourth leading cause of burden among all diseases, and the leading cause of years lived with disability. Conclusions: Postpartum depression screening improves recognition of the disorder, but improvement in clinical outcomes1 It is estimated that depression costs the United States $30 billion to $50 billion in lost productivity and direct medical costs each year.2 By 2020, depressive illness is expected to be the second leading cause of disability in the world.3 The burden is greatest for women, with a lifetime risk for major depressive disorder of 20% to 25%, approximately twice the 7% to 12% rate seen with men. 4 In the first 3 months after childbirth, 14.5% of women have a new episode of major or minor depression, 5 and 10% to 20% of mothers are believed to suffer with depression sometime during their postpartum course, 6 making postpartum depression the most common serious postpartum disorder.There is some controversy about whether rates of depression increase after delivery, and whether postpartum depression is a distinct entity from nonpostpartum depression. A British case-control study of mothers from 4 general practices found a 3-fold higher incidence of depression within 5 weeks after childbirth.7 Similarly, a Norwegian study comparing postpartum with nonpostpartum women found a 1.8-fold greater risk for depression in postpartum women.8 However, other researchers have not found the risk of depression to be an higher in postpartum women, compared with other young women, suggesting that postpartum depression may not be a distinct condition but merely major depression recognized at a time of potentia...
