92名妇女和她们的第一个孩子参加了一项关于母亲心理健康的纵向调查。在孩子4岁时,通过行为筛查问卷采访他们的母亲,并由一位精神科医生对孩子的S问题进行评级,而这位医生并不知道这些母亲的精神病史,也不知道他们目前的健康状况。正如预期的那样,同时患有抑郁症的母亲报告说,她们的孩子出现了明显更多的行为障碍。怀孕期间的婚姻不和谐和父亲的精神问题史也与儿童后期的行为困难有关。母亲报告说,在麦卡锡认知能力量表上得分低于平均水平的孩子也有更多的行为问题,但孩子4岁时的S行为困难与产后抑郁症没有明显的联系。
Ninety-two women and their first-born children took part in a longitudinal survey of maternal mental health. When the children were four years old, their mothers were interviewed by means of the Behavioral Screening Questionnaire, and the children''s problems were rated by a psychiatrist, who was unaware of the mothers'' psychiatric histories or of assessments of their current health. As expected, mothers who were concurrently depressed reported significantly more behavioral difficulties in their children. Marital disharmony during pregnancy and a history of paternal psychiatric problems were also associated with later childhood behavioral difficulties. Children who scored below average on the McCarthy scales of cognitive abilities were also reported by their mothers to have more behavioral problems, but the children''s behavioral difficulties at four showed no clear links with post-natal depression.
