“…The ndings from this study suggest that the quality of the mother's interactions with her child are more in uential than the quantity of time spent at home with the child. These ndings are consistent with previous research regarding maternal employment that showed no signi cant impact on the mother-child relationship (Youngblut, Singer, Madigan, Swegart, & Rodgers, 1998) or the child's development or behavior (Hillman & Sawilowsky, 1991;Youngblut, Loveland-Cherry, & Horan, 1993). Yet, ndings from this study expand on results from previous research by also including volunteer hours outside the home.…”

Children need to develop appropriate cognitive-behavioral repertoires to maintain mental health and prevent depression. Resourcefulness is learned throughout life in the context of one's environment. However, environmental or situational factors and individual factors in children's development of resourcefulness have not been studied. This study examined the effects of the situational factors of family context (one or two parents, and number of siblings) and maternal characteristics (employment, learned resourcefulness, and adaptive functioning), and individual (child) factors (gender, academic performance, and automatic thoughts) on learned resourcefulness in school-aged children. A convenience sample of 122 fifth and sixth graders was recruited from four public schools. The child's automatic thoughts and maternal resourcefulness were predictors of child's resourcefulness. Further research is needed to examine additional factors that may promote resourcefulness in school-aged children, so that appropriate nursing strategies can be implemented.

“…Um achado relevante é que 90,44% da amostra de crianças permaneciam constantemente sob os cuidados maternos, comprovando que as mães não possuíam ocupação. A literatura sugere que mães que trabalham possuem percepções mais otimistas em relação aos filhos, oferecendo um ambiente mais seguro e estimulante para estes, favorecendo inclusive o desenvolvimento cognitivo 24,25 , possivelmente a falta de uma atividade laboral pode ter contribuído para os atrasos encontrados em nossa amostra. Essa questão tem relação com a condição econômica familiar, uma vez que a renda é determinante para a qualidade de vida das famílias 1,8,19,26 .…”

“…Resultados semelhantes foram encontrados em outro estudo 25 . Esse dado corrobora com nossa pesquisa, onde 90,44% dos lactentes não puderam contar com a interferência de um ambiente rico de estímulos que favoreça ao desenvolvimento, podendo este fato ter contribuído no atraso detectado em parte da amostra.…”

A prematuridade é apontada como fator de risco biológico para o desenvolvimento típico motor. Sendo o desenvolvimento motor, multifatorial, crianças prematuras são mais vulneráveis a atrasos e sequelas no processo de desenvolvimento devido à imaturidade dos órgãos e sistemas ao nascimento, necessitando atenção especial. Objetivo. Verificar a influência do ambiente domiciliar no desenvolvimento motor de lactentes nascidos pré-termo. Método. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem analítica e quantitativa, realizado com 21 lactentes pré-termos. Para avaliar o desenvolvimento motor foi utilizada a escala Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), para as oportunidades ambientais a AHEMD-IS Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development Infant-Scale. Resultados. Mostraram que 61,9% dos lactentes apresentaram desenvolvimento motor alterado (suspeita de atraso e atraso). A comparação entre as variáveis AIMS e AHEMD--IS (escore total e dimensões) apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,02) na dimensão "brinquedos". Conclusão. As condições presentes no ambiente domiciliar da amostra não favorecem o desenvolvimento motor na maioria das residências estudadas. O estudo ratifica a tese de diversos autores de que o desenvolvimento motor é multifatorial, envolvendo características biológicas, fatores psicológicos, sociais e ambientais. Paralelamente aos fatores de risco biológicos, as desvantagens ambientais podem influenciar negativamente a evolução do desenvolvimento das crianças. Unitermos ABSTRACTInfant's prematurity is a biological risk factor for typical motor development. Motor development being multifactorial, premature infants are more vulnerable to delays and sequelae in the development process due to the immaturity of organ systems at birth, requiring special attention. Objective. To assess the home environment influence of motor development in premature infants. Method. This is a descrpitive, analitical and quantitative study with 21 premature infants. In order to assess motor development the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS used; and to assess environmental opportunities the AHEMD-IS Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development InfantScale was used. Results. We showed that 61.9% of infants presented altered motor development (suspicious motor delay and delayed). We found a statistically significant difference between the AIMS and AHEMD-IS (total and dimensions) especially in the "toys" dimension (p=0.02). Conclusion. We show that the conditions present in the household of the sample does not favor the motor development in most of the homes studied. Our findings are in pace with most literature that confirms that motor development is multifactorial evolving not only biological characteristics but also, psychological, social and environmental factors. Also and in accordance to this environmental disadvantages may negatively influence in infants motor development.

“…Indeed, Youngblut, Singer, Madigan, Swegart, and Rodgers (1998) found that discrepancy was not related to parenting strains for employed single mothers, but was associated with greater parenting strains for nonemployed single mothers. In a sample of poor, Black, single, employed mothers of preschoolers, Jackson (1993) found that employment preference was not related to mothers' perceptions of their preschool children's behavior.…”

“…Examine whether these relationships remained after controlling for family system and individual (mother and child) factors. These aims are part of a larger study of maternal employment effects for families with preterm and full-term preschool children (Youngblut & Brooten, 2000;Youngblut, Singer, Madigan, Swegart, & Rodgers, 1997;Youngblut al., 1998) …”

Maternal Employment and Parent-Child Relationships in Single-Parent Families of Low-Birth-Weight Preschoolers

Abstract: Background-The influence of premature birth of an infant in female-headed, single-parent families together or in conjunction with family environment factors, such as employment of the mother, on the mother-premature child relationship has not been considered in past studies.
