Abstract:
Increased maternal mental health during the perinatal period has been widely associated with a variety of positive outcomes for both mothers and infants. However, no studies in Peru have yet focused on studying maternal mental health and related psychological variables during this stage. Thus, the aim of this study was to test a model to associate a mother\'s parental stress with infant socioemotional difficulties and maternal mental health. The sample included 988 mothers of infants aged 6 to 18 months from Peru, all from socioeconomically vulnerable settings. The findings showed that infant socioemotional difficulties were associated with poorer maternal mental health through the mother\'s parental stress (χ2(7) = 28.89, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.03). These results provide a better understanding of the key elements associated with maternal mental health during the perinatal period in Peru and offer valuable insights for developing interventions and support strategies for socioeconomically vulnerable mothers and their young children.
摘要:
围产期母亲心理健康的增加与母亲和婴儿的各种积极结果广泛相关。然而,在这一阶段,秘鲁还没有研究重点研究母亲的心理健康和相关的心理变量。因此,这项研究的目的是测试一个模型,将母亲的父母压力与婴儿的社会情绪困难和母亲的心理健康联系起来。样本包括来自秘鲁的988名6至18个月婴儿的母亲,都来自社会经济脆弱的环境。结果表明,通过母亲的父母压力,婴儿的社会情绪困难与母亲的心理健康较差有关(χ2(7)=28.89,p<0.001,CFI=0.98,RMSEA=0.06,SRMR=0.03)。这些结果使人们更好地了解了秘鲁围产期与产妇心理健康相关的关键因素,并为制定针对社会经济弱势母亲及其幼儿的干预措施和支持策略提供了宝贵的见解。
