A substantial number of mothers of young children suffer from depression. One understudied consequence of maternal depression is how it affects toddlers' injury risk. This study examined links between chronic maternal depression and child injury.
A national sample of 1,364 American children was studied.
Chronic levels of severe maternal depression placed children at increased risk of concurrent injury from birth to age 3. The relation between chronic, severe maternal depression and child injury risk held even after controlling for variance from family SES, child sex, child temperament and externalizing behavior, and parenting. Chronic maternal depression during infancy and toddlerhood did not influence children's subsequent risk for injury, between age 3 and first grade. Less severe symptoms of chronic maternal depression were unrelated to concurrent or future child injury.
Chronic, severe levels of maternal depression are linked to concurrent child injury risk during infancy and toddlerhood.
大量幼儿母亲患有抑郁症。母亲抑郁一个未得到充分研究的后果是它如何影响幼儿的受伤风险。本研究调查了慢性母亲抑郁与儿童受伤之间的联系。
对1364名美国儿童的全国性样本进行了研究。
母亲严重抑郁的慢性水平使儿童从出生到3岁时同时受伤的风险增加。即使在控制了家庭社会经济地位、儿童性别、儿童气质和外化行为以及养育方式的差异之后，慢性、严重的母亲抑郁与儿童受伤风险之间的关系仍然存在。婴儿期和幼儿期的慢性母亲抑郁并未影响儿童在3岁至一年级期间随后的受伤风险。慢性母亲抑郁较轻的症状与儿童同时期或未来的受伤无关。
慢性、严重程度的母亲抑郁与婴儿期和幼儿期儿童同时受伤的风险有关。
