“…135 Two studies have directly tested diathesis stress compared to differential susceptibility models to determine a framework that characterizes how prematurity interacts with environmental susceptibility. 29,136 In this line of research, Hadfield et al 136 found effect of maternal factors, including attachment and maternal distress, were similar between full-term and PT children; however, paternal distress effect on child cognitive and social development were moderated by prematurity. Since adversity of parental distress (but not the presence of positive emotional factors) drove the interaction between birth status and outcome, Hadfield et al 136 tentatively interpret paternal distress effects within a diathesis stress framework.…”

Nurturing the preterm infant brain: leveraging neuroplasticity to improve neurobehavioral outcomes

An intrinsic feature of the developing brain is high susceptibility to environmental influence-known as plasticity. Research indicates cascading disruption to neurological development following preterm (PT) birth; yet, the interactive effects of PT birth and plasticity remain unclear. It is possible that, with regard to neuropsychological outcomes in the PT population, plasticity is a doubleedged sword. On one side, high plasticity of rapidly developing neural tissue makes the PT brain more vulnerable to injury resulting from events, including inflammation, hypoxia, and ischemia. On the other side, plasticity may be a mechanism through which positive experience can normalize neurological development for PT children. Much of the available literature on PT neurological development is clinically weighted and focused on diagnostic utility for predicting long-term outcomes. Although diagnostic utility is valuable, research establishing neuroprotective factors is equally beneficial. This review will: (1) detail specific mechanisms through which plasticity is adaptive or maladaptive depending on the experience; (2) integrate research from neuroimaging, intervention, and clinical science fields in a summary of findings suggesting inherent plasticity of the PT brain as a mechanism to improve child outcomes; and (3) summarize how responsive caregiving experiences situate parents as agents of change in normalizing PT infant brain development.

“…VLBW and preterm had a higher incidence of the abnormal neurobehavioral score (46%) than Full-term at1 month and 3 months (40%). Very preterm and late preterm both are known independent significant risk factors for poor outcomes at 3 months age and have poor neurodevelopment outcomes than full-term infants [11].…”

Aims and Objective:Influence of high-risk factors on early Neurodevelopmental and Neuromotor outcome at 3 months of corrected age and role of continued Newborn follow up care. Participants: All high-risk newborn discharged from tertiary care level NICU were enrolled for study at discharge. Method: In this prospective observational study, the influences of various sociodemographic factors as prematurity, birth weight, maternal education, family size, clinical profile, sociodemographic factors, parity, feeding patterns and follow up compliance on the neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 and 3 months of corrected age were studied. Results: Prematurity, ELBW and VLBW infants, Male infants, Low socioeconomic status, disease-causing CNS injury ( Severe Birth asphyxia, meningitis), poor maternal education, mixed and top feeding, longer duration of NICU stay, poor follow-up attendance and compliance were significantly( p=<0.05) associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 and 3 month of corrected age. Conclusion: Collaborative efforts shall be made to educate the parents of high-risk newborns towards the need and importance of neonatal follow-up and early stimulation and intervention therapy to decrease the future neurodevelopment abnormality. Special attention shall be given to premature LBW infants of the less-educated mother, of poor socioeconomic status and residing in distant rural areas having poor access to specialized center-based services.

“…Environmental factors also have an impact on premature children's psychological development and behavior in negative, as well as in positive ways (Erica et al, 2015). According to the "diathesis stress" model, premature children are more susceptible to the negative influence of the environment (Hadfield, Fearghal, & Gerow, 2017). The interaction of a child with a significant adult is the most important environmental factor during the first year of his life.…”

“…Such separation may negatively affect the psychological state of a parent: it is common for parents to experience fear of their child's potential death. It has been identified that this kind of parental anxiety further affects the neurocognitive and socioemotional development of a premature child (Hadfield et al, 2017). While parenting at home, any negative emotions experienced by the parents may be further aggravated by their realization that the child requires special care and protection, which in turn may cause parents to feel inadequate and result in a disadaptive attachment between the parents and the child.…”

Background. It has been demonstrated that preterm birth negatively affects the neurocognitive and socioemotional development of a child. It is therefore important to identify the factors that can decrease potential risks for atypical development in preterm infants. The social environment which surrounds a child is considered to be one such factor. We hypothesize that parent responsiveness positively influences the development of a preterm child. Objective. The purpose of this research is to reveal differences in the development of two one-year-old preterm children whose parents have exhibited opposite types of parent responsiveness. Design. Based on the analysis of video recordings of child-parent interactions, we identified two children whose parents registered opposite patterns of responsiveness. Parent responsiveness was measured based on Parent Responsiveness Markers Protocol methodology. The Bayley-III was used to assess the children's cognitive and socioemotional development. Results. We identified that the preterm child whose parent showed a high level of parental responsiveness had normative levels of neurocognitive development, socioemotional skills and adaptive behavior. The preterm child, whose parent showed a low level of parental responsiveness, scored lower on the Bayley-III. Conclusion. Preterm birth not only affects infant development, but also has a psychological impact on parents, evoking fear and anxiety for their child. This affects parental behavior and their responsiveness towards their child. This study showed that parent responsiveness has a positive effect on the neurocognitive and socioemotional development of a preterm child. Further research should focus on assessing the role of parent responsiveness in child development using a larger sample.
