在考虑养育子女的环境时，对夫妇双方的心理健康评估很重要。父母双方心理困扰的患病率和相关因素尚未得到充分调查。使用2016年日本生活状况综合调查的全国代表性样本，调查了父母在分娩后第一年的中度和重度心理困扰的患病率。总共有3，514个抚养一岁以下儿童的双亲家庭符合研究标准。日本版Kessler 6被用来评估中度和重度心理困扰。父母一方或双方在出生后一年内经历心理困扰的患病率分别为15.1%和3.4%。多因素Logistic回归分析显示，父亲每周工作>= 55小时，母亲睡眠时间减少，最小孩子的年龄和高家庭支出与父母双方同时患有中度或重度心理困扰显着相关。本研究提示父母双方预防和早期发现父母心理困扰的重要性。评估育儿期父母的心理困扰，进行育儿期工作方式的改革，是改善育儿期父母心理健康状况的当务之急。
Mental health assessments of both members of a couple are important when considering the child-rearing environment. The prevalence and factors associated with both parents' psychological distress have not been fully investigated. A nationally representative sample from the 2016 Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions in Japan was used to examine the prevalence of moderate and severe psychological distress in parents in the first year after childbirth. In total, 3,514 two-parent households raising children under one year old met the study criteria. The Japanese version of Kessler 6 was used to assess moderate and severe psychological distress. The prevalence of either or both parents experiencing psychological distress in the first year after birth were 15.1% and 3.4%, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed factors of fathers who worked >= 55 h a week, reduced duration of sleep in mothers, age in months of the youngest child, and high household expenditures were significantly associated with both parents simultaneously having moderate or severe psychological distress. This study implied the importance of prevention and early detection of parental psychological distress in both parents. Assessing parents' psychological distress and work-style reform in the childcare period is an urgent issue to improve their mental health conditions.
