The relationship between maternal depression and child behavior problems has been consistently demonstrated, but not the impact of child behavior problems on maternal depression.
Mothers of 3- to 6-year-old children (N=69) reported regarding their depression, parenting competence, attachment to the child, the child's impact on the family, and behavior problems.
Child behavior problems were positively associated with maternal depression, an association explained by mediating variables: impact of the child on the family, mother's parenting competence, and attachment to the child.
Maternal depression should be considered when providing clinical services to children, given the potential for exacerbation of symptoms in the face of child behavior problems.
母亲抑郁与儿童行为问题之间的关系已得到持续证实,但儿童行为问题对母亲抑郁的影响尚未得到证实。
3至6岁儿童的母亲(N = 69)报告了她们的抑郁情况、育儿能力、与孩子的依恋关系、孩子对家庭的影响以及行为问题。
儿童行为问题与母亲抑郁呈正相关,这种关联可由中介变量解释:孩子对家庭的影响、母亲的育儿能力以及与孩子的依恋关系。
在为儿童提供临床服务时应考虑母亲的抑郁情况,因为面对儿童行为问题时症状可能会加重。
