“…The literature has shown that adult pregnant women receive more social support than do pregnant teenagers. 25,26 However, a recently published study examining the effects of social support on Canadian women during and after pregnancy found that teenage mothers received more social support from the family during pregnancy than adult mothers. 27 The authors argue that because teenagers present more difficulties to connect with their peers, the family may end up providing more support.…”

“…32 Studies show that the absence or lack of support from a companion was more frequent among single teenage mothers or those who did not live with a partner. 25,26 In the United States, a study with pregnant women found that married women had more support than those unmarried and that partner support and marital stability are important factors for health and well-being. 33 Partner support is an important protective factor throughout pregnancy and conception and our study corroborates these findings.…”

“…además, bajos puntajes en seguridad del apego implican un mayor riesgo para la depresión posparto. en la misma línea, Figueiredo et al (2006) compararon la experiencia de embarazo en adolescentes y adultas; uno de los principales predictores de la depresión fue el estilo de apego enredado (Bifulco et al, 2002), caracterizado por un elevado deseo de compañía, baja autoconfianza y elevado miedo de separación.…”

Estudio comparativo de los estilos de apego adulto en un grupo de mujeres con y sin diagnóstico de depresión ResumenNumerosos estudios han asociado los estilos de apego inseguros a distintas formas de psicopatología, entre ellas la depresión, en diversas etapas del ciclo vital. esta investigación tuvo como objetivo describir el estilo de apego de un grupo de pacientes de sexo femenino, diagnosticadas con depresión. se estudió a un grupo de 28 pacientes, comparándolos con un grupo de 28 mujeres adultas que no presentan la enfermedad, igualando a las participantes en relación a la edad. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en los estilos de apego de ambos grupos. las pacientes diagnosticadas con depresión presentan, en su mayoría, estilos de apego inseguros (39.2%) e inclasificables (32.1%). Por su parte, el grupo de personas sin depresión presentan en su gran mayoría (85.7%) un estilo de apego seguro. Palabras clave: depresión, estilos de apego, apego adulto y psicopatología. Abstractseveral studies have linked the insecure attachment styles to different types of psychopathologies, i.e. depression, at diverse stages of the life cycle. this research aimed to describe the attachment style for a group of female patients diagnosed with depression. a group of 28 patients was analyzed and compared with a group of 28 female adults not presenting the psychopathology and with similar age range. Results show significant differences on the attachment style in within these two groups. the patients diagnosed with depression have, mainly, insecure attachment styles (39.2%) and cannot classify (32.1%). on the other side, the majority of the group of people without depression (85.7%) has a secure attachment style.

Objective: To review the literature on the effects of parental divorce over the psychological maladjustment and physical health problems in children of divorced parents, thus contributing to the integration of existing scientific knowledge based on the biopsychosocial model of the impact of divorce on children's physical health as proposed by Troxel and Matthews (2004). Sources:Review of the literature using MEDLINE and PsycInfo (1980-2007) databases, selecting the most representative articles on the subject. Special attention was paid to contributions by internationally renowned investigators on the subject. Summary of the findings:Divorce may be responsible for a decline of physical and psychological health in children. The developmental maladjustment of children is not triggered by divorce itself, but rather by other risk factors associated with it, such as interparental conflict, parental psychopathology, decline in socio-economic level, inconsistency in parenting styles, a parallel and conflicting co-parenting relationship between parents and low levels of social support. Such risk factors trigger maladjusted developmental pathways, marked by psychopathological symptoms, poor academic performance, worst levels of physical health, risk behavior, exacerbated psychophysiological responses to stress and weakening of the immune system. Conclusions:Clear links were observed between experiencing parental divorce and facing problems of physical and psychological maladjustment in children. Divorce is a stressor that should be considered by health professionals as potentially responsible for maladjusted neuropsychobiological responses and for decline in children's physical health. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2009;85(5):385-396:Divorce, children, health, interparental conflict, immunology, stress. ResumoObjetivo: Apresentar uma revisão da literatura sobre os efeitos da separação parental na desadaptação psicológica e nos problemas de saúde física em crianças filhas de pais separados, contribuindo para a integração do conhecimento científico existente à luz do modelo biopsicossocial do impacto da separação na saúde física das crianças de Troxel e Matthews (2004). Fontes dos dados:Revisão da literatura utilizando as bases de dados MEDLINE e PsycInfo , selecionando os artigos mais representativos do tema. Foi dada especial atenção aos contributos dos investigadores de referência internacional no tema. Síntese dos dados:A separação pode ser responsável pela diminuição da saúde física e psicológica das crianças. Não é a separação por si própria a que desencadeia a desadaptação desenvolvimental das crianças, mas sim outros fatores de risco associados à mesma, como, por exemplo, o conflito interparental, a psicopatologia de um dos pais, a redução do nível socioeconômico, um estilo parental inconsistente, uma relação coparental paralela e conflituosa e baixos níveis de suporte social. Estes fatores de risco desencadeiam trajetórias desenvolvimentais caracterizadas por inadequada adaptação, com possível sintomatologia psicopa...
