The aim of this paper was to examine the role of perinatal, obstetric and post partum factors on maternal and paternal stress. It will present the first examination of the role of prenatal, obstetric, post-partum, and demographic variables in parenting stress for mothers and fathers at 9 months.
Data from 6821 parental dyads of 9-month-old infants were extracted from the Growing Up in Ireland National Longitudinal Study of Children. Participants completed the Parental Stress Scale, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Quality of Attachment Sub-scale from the Maternal and Paternal Postnatal Attachment Scales, and a single item health status question from the Short Form 12 Health Survey. Information on prenatal care, pregnancy complications, obstetric outcomes, infant health, and participant demographics were also collected. Separate hierarchical linear regressions were conducted for mothers and fathers Results: Mothers reported higher levels of parenting stress than fathers (p < 0.001). Maternal parenting stress was predicted by attachment, own health status, average sleep, occupation, household income, and having a very rapid labor. Paternal parenting stress was predicted by attachment and own health status.
A range of perinatal factors was associated with an increased risk of higher parenting stress at 9 months post-partum and the roles of these factors differ between mothers and fathers. These findings are important for predicting and reducing risk of parenting stress in both genders.
本文旨在探讨围产期、产科和产后因素对母婴压力的影响。本文首次研究了产前、产科、产后和人口统计学变量对母亲和父亲在 9 个月时育儿压力的影响。
从爱尔兰全国儿童纵向研究的成长研究中提取了 6821 对 9 个月大婴儿的父母对子。参与者完成了父母压力量表、夫妻适应量表、母婴产后依恋量表的依恋质量子量表以及简短 12 健康调查的健康状况单项问题。还收集了关于产前保健、妊娠并发症、产科结局、婴儿健康和参与者人口统计学信息。分别对母亲和父亲进行了分层线性回归。
母亲报告的育儿压力高于父亲（p<0.001）。母亲的育儿压力与依恋、自身健康状况、平均睡眠时间、职业、家庭收入和分娩非常迅速有关。父亲的育儿压力与依恋和自身健康状况有关。
一系列围产期因素与产后 9 个月育儿压力增加的风险增加有关，这些因素在母亲和父亲之间的作用不同。这些发现对于预测和降低两性育儿压力的风险很重要。
