目的。焦虑和抑郁症状被认为与父母的自我效能感的变化和适应的背景下发生的过渡到父母。本研究的目的是阐明影响的方向。设计参与者是822名首次怀孕的妇女，她们在怀孕32周和产后3个月和12个月填写了关于抑郁和焦虑症状以及育儿自我效能的问卷。结果从怀孕32周到产后3个月，育儿自我效能感增加，而焦虑和抑郁症状减少。多变量反应模型显示，较高的产前育儿自我效能感与焦虑和抑郁症状的减少有关;较低的产前情绪症状与产后3个月育儿自我效能感的增加有关。产后3个月的育儿自我效能感越高，产后3 ~ 12个月的特质焦虑增加越少。结论.父母教养自我效能似乎是心理健康的结果，并预测心理健康的过程中，在第一次母亲。这些结果突出强调了在干预和预防工作中同时关注这两个因素的重要性。
SYNOPSIS Objective. Anxiety and depressive symptoms are assumed to relate to parenting self-efficacy in the context of changes and adaptations taking place in the transition to parenthood. The aim of this study was to elucidate the direction of effects. Design. Participants were 822 first-time expectant women who filled out questionnaires on depressive and anxiety symptoms and parenting self-efficacy at 32 weeks of pregnancy and at 3 and 12 months postpartum. Results. From 32 weeks of pregnancy to 3 months postpartum, parenting self-efficacy increased, whereas anxiety and depressive symptoms decreased. Multivariate response models showed that higher prenatal parenting self-efficacy was associated with more decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms; lower prenatal mood symptoms were associated with more increases in parenting self-efficacy to 3 months postpartum. Higher postpartum parenting self-efficacy at 3 months predicted less increase in trait anxiety from 3 to 12 months postpartum. Conclusions. Parenting self-efficacy appears to be a result of mental health and a predictor for the course of mental health in first-time mothers. These results highlight the importance of focusing on both factors for intervention and prevention efforts.
