The prevalence of maternal depression was investigated in the mothers of 96 children: 30 premature infants at risk for the development of cerebral palsy; 35 premature infants considered not to be at risk for the development of cerebral palsy; and 31 healthy fullterm infants. There were equally high levels of depression in all three groups of mothers, regardless of birth status, prediction of disability, or presence of actual disability, throughout the first year of the children's lives. Depressed mothers were, however, found to have significantly more psychosocial stress. An early physiotherapy intervention had no effect on the prevalence of depression in mothers whose children were at risk for the development of cerebral palsy.
对96名儿童的母亲进行了产后抑郁症患病率调查，这96名儿童包括：30名有患脑瘫风险的早产儿；35名被认为无患脑瘫风险的早产儿；以及31名健康足月儿。在孩子出生后的第一年里，三组母亲的抑郁水平都同样高，无论孩子的出生状况、残疾预测情况或实际是否存在残疾。然而，研究发现，抑郁的母亲承受的心理社会压力明显更大。对于孩子有患脑瘫风险的母亲，早期物理治疗干预对其产后抑郁症患病率没有影响。
