我们的目的是在一个高风险移民母亲的样本中检查母亲的心理健康和相关的压力，以及它与分娩后几年儿童不安全依恋的关系。母亲和她们的孩子（年龄= 37个月）是通过魁北克省蒙特利尔公园扩展社区的一个卫生和社会服务组织招募的。母亲们完成了霍普金斯症状检查表（HSCL-25）、感知社会支持多维量表（MPSS）和包括早产和出生体重问题的社会人口调查问卷。依恋行为是用学前和早期学龄依恋评定量表（PARS）对一段自由游戏录像进行编码的。分析显示临床焦虑和抑郁水平高，社会支持低，依恋安全感低。焦虑、抑郁、社会支持、早产和儿童依恋之间存在显著的平均差异和关联。这些结果强调了在出生后早期筛查焦虑和抑郁的重要性，以防止儿童不安全依恋等相关后果。研究结果还强调了建立积极的社会网络的重要性，尤其是与移民人群。
Our goal was to examine maternal mental health and associated stresses in a sample of high-risk immigrant mothers, and its association with child insecure attachment in the years following childbirth. Mothers and their child (Mage= 37 months) were recruited through a Health and Social Service organization in the Parc-Extension neighborhood in Montreal, Quebec. Mothers completed the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL-25), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MPSS) and a sociodemographic questionnaire that included questions on premature delivery and birth weight. Attachment behaviors were coded out of a videotaped free play sequence using the Preschool and Early School-Age Attachment Rating Scales (PARS). Analysis revealed high levels of clinical anxiety and depression, low social support and low attachment security. Significant mean differences and associations were found between anxiety, depression, social support, preterm delivery and child attachment. These results underscore the importance of screening for anxiety and depression early in the postnatal years, in order to prevent associated consequences such as child insecure attachment. Results also highlight the importance of building positive social networks, especially with immigrant populations.
