Abstract

Family stressors and personal resources of mothers are discussed as important risk factors for infant development. At 2 measurement points (beginning and end of mother-child rehabilitation; duration: 3 weeks; N = 564 mother-child-pairs) data of mothers' self-report of stress as well as personal resources and children's self-report of quality of life were examined, using a structural equation model. Family stressors have a direct effect on children's quality of life and an indirect effect mediated by psychological health or maternal self-reported competence. Changes in mothers' psychological health and maternal self-reported competence show a small but significant correlation with changes in children's quality of life.
