The Protective Effect of Prenatal Social Support on Infant Adiposity in the First 18 Months of Life
2019, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :It does not ask for further specification of who provides support, such as a family member, friend, or spouse. This item of the Maternal Social Support Index has been shown to be independently associated with maternal depression26 and parenting stress27 in prior studies. This item reflects the perceived availability of social support, a subconstruct of social support that has stronger ties to positive health outcomes than measures of actual or received support.9
Mom doesn't care: When increased brain CRF system activity leads to maternal neglect in rodents
2019, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Postpartum depression represents an episode of major depression with a specific temporal manifestation, which is still under debate. A crucial feature of maternal depression that distinguishes it from other depressive episodes is the loss of interest in the infant (Atkinson et al., 2000; Lovejoy et al., 2000), which may lead to maternal neglect due to an aversive perception of the child (Adamakos et al., 1986; Bifulco et al., 2004). Finally, postpartum psychosis is probably the most serious postpartum disorder and has a prevalence of 0.1–0.5% in parturient women.
Resilience in families raising children with disabilities and behavior problems
2014, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Of course, the data from this study will be unsurprising to researchers in other fields who, over the last three decades, have found that measures of maternal social support and integration are associated with a wide range of outcomes. These include but are not limited to pre and post-natal depression (Collins, Dunkel-Shetter, Lobel, & Scrimshaw, 1993; Cutrona & Troutman, 1986); fetal growth and birth weight (Feldman, Dunkel-Schetter, Sandman, & Wadhwa, 2000); parenting stress and sense of competence (Adamakos et al., 1986); maternal warmth and responsiveness (Burchinal, Follmer, & Bryant, 1996; Crnic, Greenberg, Ragozin, Robinson, & Basham, 1983; Pascoe, Loda, Jeffries, & Earp, 1981); risk of child abuse and neglect (Bishop & Leadbeater, 1999; Garbarino & Crouter, 1978; Kotch, Browne, Dufort, Winsor, & Catellier, 1999; Wandersman & Nation, 1998); and, child cognitive, emotional and social development (Melson, Ladd, & Hsu, 1993; Pianta & Ball, 1993; Sameroff, Seifer, Baldwin, & Baldwin, 1993). Overall, the study findings support a social–ecological approach to understanding and building resilience: if a family has reasonably good social–ecological resources, outcomes are likely to be good even in the context of severe stressors.
Maternal social stress modulates the development of prepulse inhibition of startle in infants
2013, Developmental Cognitive NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Hence, from a developmental perspective, postnatal rat pup stress may be comparable to prenatal human fetal stress. The quality and quantity of a mother's social network are important predictors of parenting behavior (Adamakos et al., 1986; Goldstein et al., 1996), which is generally linked to child development (Webster-Stratton and Hammond, 1999). The birth of a child is a joyful event for many parents, yet the first months after birth are characterized by several adaptation and readjustment processes and can be perceived as stressful.
