“…These findings are in line with other studies [15,62]. Studies regarding role stress in comparison to other subscales of PSS:NICU notably found role stress to be the main source of stress in parents [59][60][61][62][63]. Regarding factors associated with parental stress, we found the female gender is strongly associated with higher levels of role stress.…”

“…Communication stress was peculiarly present in parents who had experienced multiple births. As similar effects are already reported elsewhere [58,59], we assume that multiple birth and having more than one child in the NICU affects the risk of communication stress, requiring additional communication needs. Thus, additional support resources for parents of multiples may be of particular benefit.…”

“…The statistical power calculation was based on the PSI total score assuming a mean score of 64.3 and a standard deviation of 17.7 27. A sample size of 172 (86 in a group) would have 90% chance of detecting a 0.5 SD difference between the groups at p<0.05.…”

Objective: To evaluate the influence of parenting intervention on maternal responsiveness and infant neurobehavioural development following a very premature birth. Design: Cluster-randomised controlled trial, with a crossover design and three-month washout period. Setting: Six neonatal intensive care units. Patients: Infants born ,32 weeks' gestation. Intervention: The Parent Baby Interaction Programme (PBIP) is a supportive, educational intervention delivered by research nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit, with optional home follow-up for up to six weeks after discharge. Main outcome measures: Parenting stress at 3 months adjusted age, as measured by the Parenting Stress Index (PSI). Other outcomes included the Neurobehavioural Assessment of the Preterm Infant (NAPI) and maternal interaction as assessed by the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale (NCATS) and the responsivity subscale for Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME). Results: 112 infants were recruited in the intervention phases and 121 in the control phases. Mean standardised NAPI scores at 35 weeks did not differ between the PBIP and control groups. Both groups had low but similar NCATS caregiver scores before discharge (36.6 in the PBIP group and 37.4 in control, adjusted mean difference 20.7, 95% CI 22.7 to 1.4). At three months, adjusted age mean PSI scores for the PBIP group were 71.9 compared with 67.1 for controls (adjusted mean difference 3.8, 95% CI 24.7 to 12.4). NCATS scores and HOME responsivity scores were similarly distributed between the groups. Conclusion: This early, nurse-delivered, parent-focused interaction programme intervention had no measurable effects on short-term infant neurobehavioural function, mother-child interaction or parenting stresses.

“…Examples include high level of stress because of new parental role (Cornish et al, 2006; Leigh and Milgrom, 2008; Petch and Halford, 2008; Misri et al, 2010; Bornstein and Venuti, 2013; Trillingsgaard et al, 2014), problematic relationship adjustment (Belsky, 1985; Belsky and Isabella, 1985; Belsky et al, 1985; Belsky and Rovine, 1990; Cobb et al, 2008; Lawrence et al, 2008; Garbarini, 2011; Velotti et al, 2011; Zerach and Magal, 2016), and the emergence of anxious and depressive symptoms (Soliday et al, 1999; Matthey et al, 2000; Skari et al, 2002; Buist et al, 2003; Condon et al, 2004; Glazebrook et al, 2004; Goodman, 2004; Edhborg et al, 2005; Schumacher et al, 2008; Figueiredo and Conde, 2011; Fisher et al, 2012; O’Hara and McCabe, 2013; O’Hara and Wisner, 2014; Mazzeschi et al, 2015; Anding et al, 2016; Della Vedova and Matthey, 2016; Prino et al, 2016; Vismara et al, 2016). …”

Parenting Stress, Mental Health, Dyadic Adjustment: A Structural Equation Model

Objective: In the 1st year of the post-partum period, parenting stress, mental health, and dyadic adjustment are important for the wellbeing of both parents and the child. However, there are few studies that analyze the relationship among these three dimensions. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between parenting stress, mental health (depressive and anxiety symptoms), and dyadic adjustment among first-time parents.Method: We studied 268 parents (134 couples) of healthy babies. At 12 months post-partum, both parents filled out, in a counterbalanced order, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the potential mediating effects of mental health on the relationship between parenting stress and dyadic adjustment.Results: Results showed the full mediation effect of mental health between parenting stress and dyadic adjustment. A multi-group analysis further found that the paths did not differ across mothers and fathers.Discussion: The results suggest that mental health is an important dimension that mediates the relationship between parenting stress and dyadic adjustment in the transition to parenthood.
