Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Children of parents with mental health problems are at higher risk of experiencing developmental difficulties.
Objectives: To determine whether there is a relation between parental psychopathological symptomatology and social withdrawal behavior of the child.
Methods: 64 fathers, 71 mothers and 71 children aged up to 24 months were evaluated. To evaluate the socio-demographic
and clinical characteristics of the sample self-administered questionnaires were used, among them the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) (Canavarro, 1995) for parental psychopathological symptomatology. The child social withdrawal behavior was assessed using the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) (Figueiredo & Costa, 2008).
Results: There is a significant association between paternal and maternal psychopathological symptomatology and there is
a significant association between parental psychopathological symptomatology and the child social withdrawal behavior. Younger children, with younger mothers, who are the couple’s first child, who live with the father or with the mother only, who are premature and who have shorter breastfeeding have higher social withdrawal behavior.
Conclusions: The results show an association between parental psychopathological symptoms and the child social withdrawal behavior. Social support and co-parenting seem to play a mediating role in this association. Special attention to the social development of the child in the first months of life must be provided to single-parent families and to those with lower social support.

Mental health problems early in life: New perspectives in the comprehension of developmental pathways
Publication year: 2013

http://www.elsevier.es/en-revista-atencion-primaria-27-pdf-90201504-S300
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Introduction: There is a lack of empirical studies on developmental and mental health problems in infants and toddlers up to 18 months of age. Although research has identified several of the risk factors for these problems, there is no information regarding their developmental pathways.
State of the Art: In a relatively recent epidemiological study with 18 month-old children, 16-18% were diagnosed with a
mental health problem. In other studies, similar rates have been reported (12.1% and 16.2%). A recent study showed that 25% of the children with behavioral problems at 18 months of age showed problems 6 years later. In Portugal, the National Commission for the Protection of Child and Youth at Risk (CNPCJ) 2009 report followed 67117 children at-risk. The causes were mainly associated with parental mental health problems, alcohol consumption and drug addiction. However, a major problem is that only a third of these children receives professional help before the age of 5.
New Perspectives: Gene-environment studies have reported that among children exposed to stressful life events, those with short allele of serotonin transporter promoter gene (5-HTT) were more prone to develop depression then those with long allele of 5-HTT genotype. Short allele variant of the 5-HTT has been also associated with the use of fewer problem-solving strategies to deal with stress.
Implications: The analysis of the interaction between environmental and genetic risk factors is extremely relevant to the
comprehension of developmental and mental problems.
Conclusions: Early detection and intervention on developmental and mental health problems at the primary care level is warranted to promote the well-being of children and families.

Skin conductance and sinus arrhythmia as a complement of psychological assessments during parent-infant interactions
Publication year: 2015
URL:
http://ecpa13.com/bookofabstracts.pdf
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The impact of the quality of early interactions on infant developmental outcomes is well reported in the literature. It is well established that parental behaviors, such as sensitivity and responsivity, are crucial for the quality of the interaction. Understanding the physiological mechanisms beneath adequate/inadequate parental behaviors during these interactions may be crucial for psychological assessment and early intervention. We intend to examine the underlying physiological mechanisms associated with the quality of parental behaviors during dyadic interaction at 6 weeks and 6 months of age. A sample of 37 parents and infants participated in this study. Parental skin conductance (SC) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were monitored during a face-to-face (FTF) still-face (ST) procedure (FTF1 - SF – FTF2). Interactions were recorded according to the Global Rating Scales9 protocol. During FTF1, parental non-intrusive behavior is associated with lower RSA (r=-.433, p=.039). Parental non-remote behavior is associated with higher SC during the SF episode (r=.364, p=.048). Lower excited engagement is associated with higher SC (r=-.367, p=.046) during FTF2. The physiological reactions during early interaction may be an important complementary tool for the psychological assessment of parental behaviors.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Parent-infant interaction characterized by mutual engagement difficulties and low parental sensitivity and responsiveness are associated with child developmental difficulties. The aim of this study is to to understand the behavioral and physiological features of difficulties in situations of mutual engagement, low parental sensitivity and responsiveness.
Method: A longitudinal study from 6 weeks to 18 months of the child’s life is been conducted. At 6 weeks, parental mental health and perinatal health is assessed. Separate face-to-face interactions between the infant and each parent is conducted and followed by the face-to-face still-face paradigm and during these interactions parental respiratory sinus arrhythmia, heart rate and skin conductance are monitored. At 6 and 18 months the infant social withdrawal and the infant psychomotor and mental development are conducted.
Results: We expect to provide data on the behavioral and physiological features of early interactions and to discuss methodological options.
Conclusions: The comprehension of the mechanisms on the basis of difficulties in the interaction is fundamental for the development of primary prevention programs and early intervention.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The aim of this paper is to present a longitudinal study to detect early signs of developmental and mental health problems, namely among infants who were exposed to environmental risk factors. Gene-environment interaction on the vulnerability and resilience to developmental and mental health problems is the core of this study.
Method: We are studying 400 families from 28 weeks of gestation up to 18 months after childbirth. During the gestational period, sociodemographic and substance abuse information is collected. At 6 weeks postpartum data on perinatal background and parental mental health is collected. Salivary samples are collected from infants for 5-HTT genotype analysis. The infant's regulation of arousal, activity, affect and attention is assessed. At 6, 12 and 18 months postpartum several measures of infant development and temperament take place, as well as parental psychopathology and stress.
Results: We expect to provide data on families in which the parent's condition and life circumstances or the characteristics of the child threaten the social, emotional, behavioral and cognitive development of the child.
Conclusions: The detection of nature vs nurture factors involved on child development outcomes allow the conception of early intervention programs.

Anxiety and depression symptoms among pregnant women with different smoking habits
Publication year: 2019
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Smoking during pregnancy is a major public health issue. The aim of this study isto describe the smoking habits of women during pregnancy and its association with clinically significant depressive and anxiety symptoms. 382 women answered to a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at 33 weeks of gestation. Among pregnant woman, 284 are non-smokers, 38 are smokers and 60 quitted smoking during pregnancy. There was a significant association between maternal smoking status and marital status, education level and family income per month. Among smokers, the rate of quitters was quite similar among partnered and unpartnered women and higher in women with university degree and with higher family monthly income. There was a significant association between maternal smoking status and clinically significant anxious symptoms [chi 2(2)=8.535, p=0.014]. Among mothers with non-university education, smokers are more likely to have clinically significant anxiety symptoms than quitters (53.6% vs 24.3%) while among mothers in higher income families, smokers are more likely to have clinically significant depressive symptoms than quitters (100% vs 11.1%). This study provides important data to inform effective public health strategies directed to pregnant women.

Impact of prenatal depressive symptoms on postpartum depressive symptoms: Mediation effect of perinatal health

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
To analyze the mediation effect of perinatal health on the association between prenatal depressive symptoms and postpartum depressive symptoms 180 women filled the Edinburgh Postnatal Depressive Scale (EPDS) at 35 weeks of gestation and two months after childbirth. Perinatal health data was collected during the first 4 days after childbirth, using the Optimality Index. 25.6% of the mothers-to-be presented clinically significant depressive symptoms, and of these, 80.4% still show clinically significant depressive symptoms at 2-months postpartum. Prenatal depressive symptoms predict higher postpartum depressive symptoms. Additionally, results also showed that the effect of prenatal depressive symptoms on postnatal depressive symptoms is not mediated by perinatal health. Mothers-to-be with prenatal depressive symptoms seem to be at risk for postnatal depression, even when perinatal health is not compromised. This highlights the importance of early screening of prenatal depressive symptoms in order to promote an early intervention on women’s mental health, leading to a better transition to parenthood and to a decrease of the burden of this public health problem on children and families.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
Although the importance of the quality of behaviors in the mother-infant and father-infant interaction is recognized, knowledge on the physiological aspects that underlie it is still scarce. Objective: to describe the physiological response of mothers and fathers during interaction with their infants. For this purpose, heart rate, respiratory sinus arrhythmia and skin conductance of 24 mothers and 13 fathers were recorded during interaction with the infant according to the Face-to-Face Still-Face (FFSF) protocol. Results: There was an increase in heart rate during the face-to-face episode, a decrease in the still-face episode and a new increase in the recovery episode. There is a decrease in respiratory sinus arrhythmia during the face-to-face episode, an increase in the still-face episode and a further decrease in the recovery episode. Regarding skin conductance, the responses of mothers and fathers follow different patterns: in women there is an increase during the face-to-face episode, a decrease in the still-face episode and a new increase in the recovery episode while in men there is a consistent increase in skin conductance throughout the FFSF procedure. Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of the physiological responses of mothers and fathers during the interaction with their infants.

Physiologic reactions during mother-infant and father-infant face-to-face interactions
Publication year: 2016
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
The relationship established between infants and caregivers early in life provides one of the most important environments for infant development. Infant developmental outcomes highly depend on the quality of the relationship that the dyad infant-caregiver can accomplish. The importance of behaviors displayed by both parents and infants during early interactions to child development outcomes is well established and unquestionable. Despite that, scarce information is available regarding the physiological reactions that underlie behaviors during early interactions. Aim: Examine the underlying physiological reactions associated with the quality of parental behaviors during dyadic interaction between 6 weeks and 6 months of age. Methods: 35 mothers and fathers participated in this study. Separate face-to-face interactions between the infant and each parent were video recorded for a 10-minute interval according to the protocol of the Global Rating Scales (Murray, Fiori-Cowley, Hooper, & Cooper, 1996; Gunning, Fiori-Cowley, & Murray, 1999). This procedure was followed by the still-face paradigm. During this procedure parental respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and skin conductance (SC) were monitored. Baseline measures were also recorded. Results: During face-to-face interactions, maternal non-demanding behavior is associated with higher RSA, while maternal non-remote and non-silent is associated with lower RSA. High mutually satisfying engagement during face-to-face interactions is associated with lower maternal RSA.
Conclusion: Physiological indicators might explain parental approach oriented behaviors and behavioral inhibition responses during early interactions.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This study aims to (1) analyze the prevalence of depression during pregnancy and postpartum period using self-report instruments with established cut- offs by comparison to gold-standard clinical interview and adjusted to different periods ,Prenatal and postnatal ; and (2) to analyze the predictive effect of depression during pregnancy and perinatal health in depressive symptoms postpartum . Methods: Were recruited, 180 women in the main hospital of the city of Oporto and primary health center of the region by completing self-report measures of depression at 35 weeks of pregnancy and two months after delivery and clinimetric instrument on perinatal health, 3/4 days after birth. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample and estimate the prevalence of symptoms in both periods. Linear regression models were used to analyze the predictive effect of prenatal depressive symptoms and perinatal health in postpartum depressive symptoms Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms of women proved to be more pronounced during the prenatal period than in postnatal period. Regarding the predictor effect of prenatal depressive symptoms in the postnatal depressive symptoms, we found a statistically significant effect, the same does not happen in the case of perinatal health predictor effect on postnatal depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms shown to be superior in the postnatal period comparing to the prenatal period. Using self-report questionnaires, empirically validated cut-offs for specific population should be considered. For the first time a cut-off adapted to the Portuguese population was used as a reference, this factor may be in the genesis of the results obtained. Given this, the study points to the fact that women may face challenges specifically after childbirth, that enhance the prevalence of depressive symptoms. The prenatal depressive symptoms showed a predictor effect on postnatal depressive symptoms, early detection of symptoms during pregnancy should be a major focus of health services, seeking to prevent mothers from reaching the postnatal period demonstrating depressive symptoms, facilitating transition to parenthood and therefore promoting a better relationship with the child and a better family environment. The predictive effect of perinatal health in postnatal depressive symptoms not evident, a possible explanation for these results relates to the fact that in previous studies perinatal health variables were analyzed individually, whereas in our study, the variables perinatal are grouped in specific areas in order to understand the perinatal health globally and achieving a broader approach of perinatal outcomes.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Higher levels of parental stress has been associated with negative outcomes for families. Demographic factors, as well as prenatal mental and perinatal health may, to a certain extend, be the cause of high levels of parental stress.
Objective: To analyze the relative effect of sociodemographic factors, prenatal and postnatal mental health and perinatal health of mothers and fathers of 6 months old children on parental stress.
METHOD
A sample of 58 women and 32 men completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) and the Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at 35 weeks of gestation. Immediately after childbirth perinatal health information was recorded from clinical reports and the Optimality index fulfilled. Repeated measure of the EPDS was obtained at two months after childbirth. Parental Stress Index (PSI) was also compleated at six months after childbirth.
RESULTS
Women with higher anxiety symptoms, who consider to have problems with their own physical and psychological health, who are unmedicated for emotional problems at the 3rd trimester of pregnancy or women with more depressive symptoms at two months postpartum have higher levels of parental stress six months after childbirth. Men who live without children, live with many biological children, unmarried or who have more depressive symptoms at two months after birth, have higher levels of parental stress six months after childbirth.
CONCLUSIONS
The factors associated with higher levels of parental stress are different in women and in men: prenatal anxiety symptoms and postnatal depression symptoms are the best predictors of parental stress in women, and both postanatal depressive symptomatology and sociodemographic variables are the best predictors in men, compared to the prenatal mental health.

Postpartum depression and infant temperament: A longitudinal Portuguese study
Publication year: 2016

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Background: There have been extensive studies showing an association between maternal postnatal depression and infant temperament difficulties. Nonetheless, studies including both mothers and fathers and measures both during pregnancy and postpartum are scarce. Aim: To investigate the association between both maternal and paternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy and after childbirth and child temperament. Methods: The sample is composed of 90 mothers and 70 fathers and their babies. Data on parental depressive symptoms was collected at 33-36 weeks of gestation and at 6 months after childbirth using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; Cox, Holden, & Sagovsky, 1987). Data on infant temperament was collected at 6 months after childbirth using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ; Rothbart, 1981). Results: Paternal depressive symptoms during gestation was associated with higher perception of infant sadness at 6 months (p<0.05). Significant association was found between maternal postpartum depressive symptoms and perception of both infant sadness (p<0.05) and infant falling reactivity (p<.05): more postpartum depressive symptoms was associated with higher perception of infant sadness and lower infant falling reactivity. Discussion: Associations between parental depressive symptoms and infant temperament differs in mothers and fathers. While in fathers there is only an association between prenatal depressive symptoms and infant temperament, in mothers there is only an association postnatal depressive symptoms and infant temperament.

Title:
Women's perinatal depression: Anhedonia-related symptoms have increased in the COVID-19 pandemic
Publication year: 2023

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Background
The prevalence of perinatal depression increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be due to changes in the profile of specific depressive symptoms.
Aims
To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the (1) prevalence and severity of specific depressive symptoms; and on the (2) prevalence of clinically significant symptoms of depression during pregnancy and postpartum.
Methods
Pregnant and postpartum women recruited before (n = 2395) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 1396) completed a sociodemographic and obstetric questionnaire and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). For each item, scores =1 and = 2 were used to calculate the prevalence and severity of depressive symptoms, respectively.
Results
The prevalence and severity of symptoms of depression were significantly higher during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prevalence of specific symptoms increased by >30%, namely “being able to laugh and see the funny side of things” (pregnancy 32.6%, postpartum 40.6%), “looking forward with enjoyment to things” (pregnancy 37.2%, postpartum 47.2%); and “feelings of sadness/miserable” or “unhappiness leading to crying” during postpartum (34.2% and 30.2%, respectively). A substantial increase was observed in the severity of specific symptoms related to feelings that “things have been getting on top of me” during pregnancy and the postpartum period (19.4% and 31.6%, respectively); “feeling sad or miserable” during pregnancy (10.8%); and “feeling scared/panicky” during postpartum (21.4%).
Conclusion
Special attention should be paid to anhedonia-related symptoms of perinatal depression to ensure that they are adequately managed in present and future situations of crisis.
