“…Yılmaz et al . indicate that the independence level of the children with neuromuscular disease in activities of daily living affects the mothers' QOL 14 . Similarly, in the present study the level of severity of OBPP assessed by AMS was found to be related to NHP.…”

The results of this study revealed that mothers of children with OBPP have poor QOL compared with mothers of healthy children. The limitation in elbow joint movements was found to be important for the mothers. The strongest impact of the illness is on the emotional reactions and social isolation of the mothers. Professionals involved in the care of children with OBPP should also help parents to cope with the burden of caregiving.

“…Carers of boys with DMD using home ventilation rated sleep quality as poor and reported associated negative emotional symptoms and illness burden on family health and relationships 245. The functional level of the child is directly related to maternal stress and QOL 258. Parents report a sense of loss each time they see physical signs of deterioration 235.…”

“…Indeed, some studies show an association between child chronic illnesses, handicaps, or retarded growth and presence of maternal psychological distress (Gudmundsdóttir, Elklit, & Gudmundsdóttir, 2006;Patiño-Fernández et al, 2008) or maternal depressive symptoms (Silver, Bauman, & Weiss, 1999;O'Brien et al, 2004;Kashikar-Zuck, 2008), while others did not find any association (Gowen et al, 1989;Manuel et al, 2003). Studies indicate that the severity of maternal depressive symptoms is associated with the extent of functional limitations and the degree of dependence of the child on the mother but not necessarily with the nature of the handicap (Breslau, Staruch, & Mortimer, 1982;Silver, Bauman, & Weiss, 1999;Yilmaz et al, 2010). On the other hand, stress and depression or depressive symptoms during pregnancy may also make the child more vulnerable to childhood illnesses (for a review, see Brand & Brennan, 2009).…”

The authors examined the association between maternal reports of child asthma attacks since birth and occurrence of elevated maternal depressive symptoms at seventeen months postpartum in the present study. The modifying role of poverty in this association was also examined. Data from n = 1,696 mother-child dyads from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development, a birth cohort of children born in 1998, were used. Maternal depressive symptoms were measured with an abridged and validated twelve-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Maternal reports of child asthma attacks since birth in relation to the occurrence of maternal depressive symptoms at 17 months postpartum and the potential modifying role of poverty were tested using multiple logistic regression models. When mothers reported child asthma attacks, those without elevated depressive symptoms at 5 months postpartum had lower odds of elevated depressive symptoms one year later (OR = 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1-0.7). Poverty was associated with increased odds of elevated maternal depressive symptoms (OR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.5-3.9), without interacting with child asthma. Through this study, the authors suggest that in mothers without elevated symptoms at 5 months, reported child asthma attacks since birth did not contribute one year later to new occurrence of depressive symptoms.
