大量文献研究了产后抑郁症对婴儿发育的影响。然而，抑郁症与不良反应相关的特殊情况仍未解决。抑郁症的性质（例如持续时间和严重程度）以及其他风险和保护因素（例如社会经济地位和儿童性别）等因素被认为是产后抑郁症对婴儿结局影响的调节因素。这项研究调查了 112 名母亲及其婴儿的非贫困样本中的短暂和慢性抑郁症的影响。婴儿语言发展在 12 个月时进行评估，并在 15 个月时进行贝利婴儿发展量表-II。慢性母亲抑郁症持续整个产后 12 个月及以后，与婴儿认知和精神运动发育较低有关，对男孩和女孩的影响相似，而短暂的抑郁症不会显着影响婴儿的表现。测试期间各组的语言发展和婴儿行为是相同的。本研究中发现，与慢性母亲抑郁症相关的相对较高的运动发育迟缓发生率与累积风险的方法学问题和模型一起进行了讨论。 (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
A large body of literature has investigated the effects of postnatal depression on infant development. However, the particular circumstances in which depression is associated with adverse effects remain unresolved. Factors, such as the nature of depression (e.g., duration and severity) and the context with respect to other risk and protective factors (e.g., socioeconomic status and child gender) have been suggested as moderators of the effects of postnatal depression on infant outcomes. This study examined the impact of brief and chronic depression in a non-poverty sample of 112 mothers and their infants. Infant language development was assessed at 12 months, and at 15 months the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II were administered. Chronic maternal depression, lasting throughout the first 12 months postpartum and beyond, was associated with lower infant cognitive and psychomotor development, with the effects being similar for boys and girls, while brief depression did not significantly impact the infant performance. Language development and infant behavior during testing were equivalent across the groups. The relatively high rates of motor development delay associated with chronic maternal depression found in this study are discussed along with the methodological issues and models of cumulative risk.
