“…Results also showed that, consistent with findings from other recent studies, White mothers and single mothers tended to be more depressed than non-White mothers and mothers in other family types (Klebanov, Brooks-Gunn, & McCormick, 2001).…”

“…Klebanov et al (2001) reported that home visiting in the first 3 years of a child's life and centerbased care in the second and third years reduced maternal emotional distress, particularly so for women with less than a high school education and those with less active coping strategies. Fuligni and Brooks-Gunn's review (2000) illustrated that economically disadvantaged children benefit from high-quality, center-based childcare programs augmented by services that support other family members and the family as a whole.…”

How Money Matters for Young Children's Development: Parental Investment and Family Processes

This study used data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and its 1997 Child Development Supplement to examine how family income matters for young children's development. The sample included 753 children who were between ages 3 and 5 years in 1997. Two sets of mediating factors were examined that reflect two dominating views in the literature: (1) the investment perspective, and (2) the family process perspective. The study examined how two measures of income (stability and level) were associated with preschool children's developmental outcomes (Woodcock-Johnson [W-J] Achievement Test scores and the Behavior Problem Index [BPI]) through investment and family process pathways. Results supported the hypothesis that distinct mediating mechanisms operate on the association between income and different child outcomes. Much of the association between income and children's W-J scores was mediated by the family's ability to invest in providing a stimulating learning environment. In contrast, family income was associated with children's BPI scores primarily through maternal emotional distress and parenting practices. Level of income was associated with W-J letter-word scores and income stability was associated with W-J applied problem scores and BPI, even after all controls were included in the models.

“…fear for the infant's life and its potential disability, helplessness, sense of losing control, feelings of guilt and injustice, anger, sadness, hope, and feeling of loss. Studies on this particular type of stress have focused not only on discovering and understanding the mechanisms responsible for the fact that some women cope with the situation of premature labor worse than others [4,7,[21][22][23], but also on discovering appropriate research tools that would allow for precise measurement of quantitative and qualitative stress [24][25][26][27]. The findings confirmed the diversification of the structure of stress experienced by the parents in the situation of premature labor.…”

Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze a possible correlation between personality traits and the level of stress experienced by women after premature labor. Material and methods:The analysis was carried out on the basis of a study conducted in 96 women after premature labor. The following tools were used: Personality Inventory NEO-FFI, Parental Stressor Scale: NICU (SSR:OITN), and personal data questionnaire. It was an exploratory study since the SSR:OITN method is only applied to find out the characteristic features of stress induced by prematurity, and, therefore, it cannot be applied to study the control sample (i.e. women who delivered at term). Results:The obtained results revealed significant correlations between the level and structure of stress connected with premature labor and personality traits. The general level of stress and all its components (infant's clinical characteristics and medical procedures, personal and interpersonal problems as well as parental competence) correlated positively with Neuroticism. Negative correlations between the general level of stress together with its parental competence factor and Extraversion and Openness to experience were found. Agreeableness correlated negatively with parental competence stress. No correlation between the level of stress and Conscientiousness was observed. Conclusions:Our findings shed new light on how women after premature labor experience stress, and suggested an effective medical-psychological-therapeutic support aiming at reducing the level of trauma. The SSR:OITN Scale is proposed as one of the basic methods used to diagnose difficulties experienced by the investigated women.

“…While Affleck et al's (1989) study proposed that coping was a potential moderator of intervention efficacy, a more recent study did not. Klebanov, Brooks-Gunn, and McCormick (2001) looked at the Infant Health and Development Program data with a view to addressing (among other things) whether the impact of the intervention on low birth weight children's outcomes would be mediated by maternal emotional distress or coping. They reported that maternal coping was not influenced by the intervention and did not moderate the influence of the intervention on child outcomes.…”

This article examines whether preterm newborns' behavior and their mother's adjustment to the premature birth and infant hospitalization have an influence on subsequent infant development and behavior, maternal adjustment, and mother-infant relationship. The behavioral competencies of 42 well, singleton preterm infants (mean gestational age ϭ 31 weeks) were assessed, as were their mothers' adjustment (depression and coping) and competencies (knowledge of child development). At 12 months of postnatal age, child competencies (development and behavior) were assessed, together with maternal adjustment (parenting stress and depression). Mother-infant interaction also was observed. Regression analyses indicated that in the newborn period, maternal positive reappraisal and a planful coping style, more knowledge of child development, and previous experience with baby-sitting were associated with better infant development (p ϭ .002), maternal adjustment (p ϭ .012), and mother-child relationship (p ϭ .002) at 12 months. Newborn infant muscle-tone maturity was predictive of better motor quality at 12 months (p ϭ .011), and being a firstborn infant who was more sleepy and drowsy was associated with subsequent higher maternal parenting stress (p ϭ .007). Social and educational support groups combined with an approach that assists mothers to develop problem-solving coping styles may have a beneficial influence on infant development.

Preterm Behavior • 581RESUMEN: Este ensayo examina el hecho de si la conducta de un infante nacido prematuramente y la adaptación de la madre al nacimiento antes de tiempo y a la hospitalización del infante ejercen influencia sobre el subsecuente desarrollo y conducta del infante, la adaptación de la madre y la relación entre madre e infante. Las aptitudes de conducta de 42 infantes nacidos prematuramente, bien diferenciados, (promedio de edad gestacional de 31 semanas), fueron evaluadas, así como también lo fue la adaptación de la madre (la depresión y el hecho de enfrentarse a la situación) y sus aptitudes (conocimiento del desarrollo del niño). A los doce meses de edad postnatal, las aptitudes del niño (desarrollo y conducta) fueron evaluadas, junto con la adaptación materna (el estrés relacionado con la crianza y la depresión). También se observó la interacción entre la madre y su infante. Los análisis de regresión indicaron que en el período del recién nacido la positiva revaloración maternal y un estilo de adaptación planeado, así como un mayor conocimiento del desarrollo del niño y la anterior experiencia con el cuidado de niños fueron asociados con un mejor desarrollo del infante (p ϭ .002), con la adaptación materna (p ϭ .012), y con la relación entre madre e infante (p ϭ .002) a los doce meses. La madurez de la firmeza de los músculos del infante recién nacido indicó la presencia de...
