Anxiety In Mothers Research Articles

Maternal Social Phobia, but not Generalized Anxiety, Symptoms Interact with Early Childhood Error-Related Negativity to Prospectively Predict Child Anxiety Symptoms.

The error-related negativity (ERN) has been called a putative neural marker of anxiety risk in children, with smaller ERN amplitudes denoting greater risk in early childhood. Children of anxious mothers are at elevated risk for anxiety problems compared to children of non-anxious mothers. Still unknown is whether discrete maternal symptoms interact with child ERN to predict different forms of child anxiety risk, knowledge ofwhich could increase our understanding of the specificity of known conditions and pathways for transgenerational effects. Targeting two of the most prevalent forms of anxiety problems across children and adults, we tested whether maternal generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and social phobia (SP) symptoms when children were 3 years old interacted with child ERN at age 4 years to predict child symptoms of overanxiousness and separation anxiety at age 5 years. We found that greater maternal SP, but not GAD, symptoms along with smaller (i.e., less negative) child ERN predicted more separation anxiety and overanxious symptoms in children, suggesting some specificity in prediction but less specificity in outcomes regarding the transmission of anxiety risk from mothers to offspring.

Investigating How the Benson Relaxation Response Reduces Anxiety in Mothers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Investigating How the Benson Relaxation Response Reduces Anxiety in Mothers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Building resilience: A promising approach to reduce anxiety in mothers and hospitalized children with burn injuries.

The psychological impact of pediatric burn injuries is profound, often resulting in elevated levels of anxiety for both children and their mothers. This quasi-experimental study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of a resilience training program aimed at reducing anxiety among mothers and their hospitalized children with burn injuries at a burn hospital in Shiraz, Iran. Fifty-six eligible mothers were initially selected through purposive sampling and assigned to either the experimental or control group in a 1:1 ratio through random assignment. The experimental group engaged in six sessions of the resilience training program. Anxiety levels were measured using the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) and State Anxiety Inventory for Children (SAI-C) at multiple time points. Despite some dropouts, fifty mothers and their children were retained for analysis. The impact of the intervention on anxiety improvement was assessed using a Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) model.. The results indicated that the resilience training program significantly reduced anxiety levels in both mothers and their children over time (p < .001). This reduction in anxiety persisted for five days following the completion of six sessions for mothers and six days for children (p < .05). Resilience training effectively addressed the psychological needs of mothers and their hospitalized children with burn injuries during the acute phase, significantly reducing anxiety levels and sustaining benefits for up to five days for mothers and six days for children post-intervention. While the impact of the training appeared to lessen over time, this underscores its importance in providing immediate support during a critical period. These findings suggest that resilience training is a valuable addition to clinical practice for the acute hospitalization phase, aimed at enhancing mental health and overall well-being in this vulnerable group.

가족체계이론 기반 집단상담 프로그램이 학령기 자녀를 둔 어머니의 자아분화와 양육불안에 미치는 효과

Objectives This study was conducted to verify the effects of a family system theory-based group counseling program on the self-differentiation and parenting anxiety of mothers with school-age children. Methods To this end, the Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to verify the homogeneity of the self-differentiation and parenting anxiety of the experimental group and the control group, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to verify the pre- and post-differences after the program was applied. Results In the case of the experimental group, there was a significant difference in the overall self-differentiation and overall parenting anxiety, but there was no significant difference in the control group. In particular, in the case of the experimental group, there was a significant difference in the factors of maintaining one's own position, being emotionally influenced, and merging with others among the factors of self-differentiation, and in the factors of parenting anxiety, such as anxiety about attachment to children, concern for children, and anxiety due to parental role efficacy. Conclusions This study has great practical implications in that it developed a group counseling program for mothers with school-age children to improve self-differentiation and reduce parenting anxiety.

ANXIETY OF MOTHERS BEFORE IUD AND IMPLANT INSERTION

Background: Long-Term Contraceptive Method (LTC) is one of the effective efforts to space pregnancies. There is a psychological impact in prospective Intra Uterine Device (IUD) acceptors regarding the side effects that may appear after installation. One of the obstacles that causes women of childbearing age to use the IUD method is because of the level of anxiety, worry, and fear. Objectives: To analyze the characteristics and determine the level of anxiety of mothers who accept IUD and Implant KB. Methods: This research was a descriptive research type. conducted in August-December 2023 at the Isti Yuliani Independent Midwife Practice (PMB). The sample technique in this study used total sampling with 56 respondents. The research instrument with a questionnaire measuring anxiety levels with HRSA with the results of the Cronbach's Alpha test was 0.793 with the number of items 14 items greater than 0.6. The analysis used univariate.. Results: The characteristics of respondents in this study were 100% in the range of Women of Childbearing Age (WCA), the majority completed secondary education as much as 87.5%, had a parity of more than one 80.4%, respondents were unemployed 83.9%, chose the most LTC was IUD 53.6% and the reason respondents came / visited was to remove and at the same time reinstall LTC IUD &amp; Implant. The anxiety in LTC IUD and Implant acceptors before the installation procedure had a mild anxiety level of 42 people (75%) and with a moderate anxiety level of 12 people (21.4%). Conclusion: The characteristics of respondents were the age of respondents in the range of WCA, the majority had secondary education, parity of more than one, the majority were unemployed, the most LTC was IUD and the reason respondents came / visited was to remove and at the same time reinstall LTC IUD &amp; Implant. The majority experienced mild anxiety.

The Moderated Mediating Effect of Parental Calling on the Relationship between Intolerance of Uncertainty, Parenting Anxiety, and Parental Burnout in Mothers of Children in Early Childhood (Ages Three to Five)

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the moderated mediating effects of parental calling on the relationship between mothers' intolerance of uncertainty, parenting anxiety, and parental burnout during the preschool years of children aged three to five.Methods: The sample consisted of 300 participants recruited through an online survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27 and Macro version 4.1 (Models 4 and 14).Results: The findings of the study are as follows: First, parenting anxiety was found to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between mothers' intolerance of uncertainty and parental burnout. Second, a significant moderated mediating effect of parental calling was observed in the pathway from intolerance of uncertainty to burnout via parenting anxiety.Conclusion: These study findings indicate that parental calling plays a crucial role in situations where elevated parenting anxiety resulting from mothers' low tolerance for uncertainty contributes to parental burnout. Therefore, focusing on enhancing parental calling may help mitigate parental burnout. Additionally, the role of parenting anxiety in the impact of intolerance of uncertainty on parental burnout should be emphasized. Furthermore, these findings suggest the need for developing parenting programs and counseling models based on parental calling, which are expected to serve as foundational data for parental education and counseling practices aimed at reducing parenting anxiety.

Effects of a video-feedback intervention on parenting behavior and state anxiety in mothers of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities

Neurodevelopmental disability (ND) poses a significant challenge to infants' socio-emotional and cognitive development, as well as to caregiving dynamics, such as parental sensitivity and mother-infant interaction. Prior research highlights the crucial role of early parenting support interventions in enhancing parental behaviors, serving as a protective developmental factor for children at risk for or diagnosed with ND. This single-cohort, multicentric study aims to evaluate the efficacy of early video-feedback intervention (VFI) in improving maternal parenting behaviors. Thirty-four mothers with their children diagnosed with ND participated in the study. Different dimensions of parenting behavior (i.e., affection, responsiveness, encouragement, teaching) were assessed during 10-minute mother-infant interactions, both before (T0) and after (T1) completing six weekly VFI sessions. Additionally, mothers completed standardized questionnaires assessing parenting stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. The results indicated significant improvements in maternal responsiveness, encouragement, and teaching following the intervention. Furthermore, mothers reported a state anxiety reduction at T1. Additionally, higher scores in affection and responsiveness were correlated with reduced maternal stress. These findings support the utility of VFI as a valuable tool for enhancing positive parenting skills in the context of ND, and provide insights into the dyadic processes through which parenting behaviors may promote socio-emotional and cognitive development in children with ND.

Association between financial anxiety and subjective health and physical fatigue perceptions among mothers of 18-month-old infants

Objective Poverty is a factor that affects children's health through its role in parental depression and stress. While the association between financial status and depression or quality of life scores of mothers has been previously reported in Japan, no study has focused on mothers' subjective health and physical fatigue perceptions. This study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers' financial anxiety and subjective health and physical fatigue perceptions.Methods We conducted a survey in parents attending routine health checkups for their 18-month-old infant in a single area of City A between November 2017 and October 2019. After excluding those for whom the required analysis data were missing, we analyzed data from 779 parents who responded to the survey and consented to the use of their children's health checkup data. The response variables were maternal subjective health and physical fatigue perceptions, and the explanatory variables were the presence of financial anxiety in mothers at their child's 3- or 18-month health checkups and financial anxiety situation in both periods. Financial anxiety was classified into four groups according to status at the 3- and 18-month time points. The independence of the qualitative variables among these four groups was verified using Fisher's exact test, and the relationship between financial anxiety and maternal subjective health and physical fatigue perceptions was evaluated using logistic regression analysis.Results Financial anxiety was present in 54 mothers (6.9%) and 46 mothers (5.9%) at the 3- and 18-month checkup, respectively. Analysis of financial anxiety in both periods showed that 695 mothers (89.2%) had no financial anxiety at either time point, 30 (3.9%) had financial anxiety only at the 18-month checkup, 38 (4.9%) had financial anxiety only at the 3-month checkup, and 16 (2.1%) had financial anxiety at both time points. At the 18-month checkup, the odds ratios of poor subjective health and severe physical fatigue perceptions were 3.85 (95% confidence interval [CI]; 1.34-11.05) and 6.58 (95% CI; 2.18-19.85), respectively, among the mothers who had financial anxiety at both time points compared to those who had no financial anxiety at either time point.Conclusion Financial anxiety may affect mothers' health. Therefore, mothers should be provided with solution-oriented support geared toward mitigating financial anxiety, in coordination with affiliated organizations, if financial anxiety is detected.

Investigating the Effectiveness of Technology-Based Distal Interventions for Postpartum Depression and Anxiety: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Postpartum anxiety and depression are common in new parents. While effective interventions exist, they are often delivered in person, which can be a barrier for some parents seeking help. One approach to overcoming these barriers is the delivery of evidence-based self-help interventions via websites, smartphone apps, and other digital media. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-based distal interventions in reducing or preventing symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety in male and female birth and adoptive parents, explore the effectiveness of technology-based distal interventions in increasing social ties, and determine the level of adherence to and satisfaction with technology-based distal interventions. A systematic review and series of meta-analyses were conducted. Three electronic bibliographic databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, and Cochrane Library) were searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating technology-based distal interventions for postpartum depression or anxiety in birth and adoptive parents. Searches were updated on August 1, 2023, before conducting the final meta-analyses. Data on trial characteristics, effectiveness, adherence, satisfaction, and quality were extracted. Screening and data extraction were conducted by 2 reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute quality rating scale for randomized controlled trials. Studies were initially synthesized qualitatively. Where possible, studies were also quantitatively synthesized through 5 meta-analyses. Overall, 18 articles met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review, with 14 (78%) providing sufficient data for a meta-analysis. A small significant between-group effect on depression favored the intervention conditions at the postintervention (Cohen d=-0.28, 95% CI -0.41 to -0.15; P<.001) and follow-up (Cohen d=-0.27, 95% CI -0.52 to -0.02; P=.03) time points. A small significant effect on anxiety also favored the intervention conditions at the postintervention time point (Cohen d=-0.29, 95% CI -0.48 to -0.10; P=.002), with a medium effect at follow-up (Cohen d=-0.47, 95% CI -0.88 to -0.05; P=.03). The effect on social ties was not significant at the postintervention time point (Cohen d=0.04, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.21; P=.61). Effective interventions tended to be web-based cognitive behavioral therapy programs with reminders. Adherence varied considerably between studies, whereas satisfaction tended to be high for most studies. Technology-based distal interventions are effective in reducing symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety in birth mothers. Key limitations of the reviewed evidence include heterogeneity in outcome measures, studies being underpowered to detect modest effects, and the exclusion of key populations from the evidence base. More research needs to be conducted with birth fathers and adoptive parents to better ascertain the effectiveness of interventions in these populations, as well as to further assess the effect of technology-based distal interventions on social ties.

Exploring and comparing the relationship between maternal anxiety and children’s anxiety during admission, hospitalization, and discharge in pediatric wards of Iranian hospitals

BackgroundParental anxiety levels increase during their child’s hospitalization. Consequently, anxiety can disrupt parental functioning as a caregiver and potentially transfer distress to the child. This study seeks to explore how maternal anxiety affects the anxiety levels of hospitalized children across three key stages: admission, in-hospital stay, and discharge.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with hospitalized children aged 8 to 15 years their mothers. The sample size was determined based on the formula. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires and validated tools, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS). The STAI measures state and trait anxiety, while the SCAS assesses various domains of child anxiety. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and fractional polynomial modeling to assess anxiety trends.ResultsThe study involved 179 participants, with mothers averaging 36.95 years old. Most participants were homemakers (82.7%) and had less than a high school education (62.6%). The average number of children per mother was 2.02, and only 2.8% utilized assisted reproductive technologies. Maternal anxiety levels were notably high, with mean state anxiety scores decreasing slightly from 45.74 at admission to 44.53 at discharge. Trait anxiety scores followed a similar trend, averaging 42.79 at admission and dropping to 41.60 at discharge. The Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale scores were relatively stable, starting at 50.93 at admission and ending at 50.89 at discharge. Severe state anxiety affected 25.7% of participants, while 11.2% experienced severe trait anxiety. Importantly, significant positive correlations were identified between maternal anxiety and children’s anxiety throughout the hospitalization period.ConclusionThis study reveals high levels of both maternal and pediatric anxiety throughout hospitalization. Mean scores for state and trait anxiety remained elevated at all stages, with significant correlations between maternal and child anxiety. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions to address and manage anxiety in both mothers and children during hospital stays. Future research should focus on strategies to mitigate these anxieties and improve support for families.

Factors That Influence Adherence to Breast Tumor Patients at Surgical Clinic in The Bhayangkara Brimob Hospital

ABSTRACT The impact of pre-operative anxiety is that pre-operative anxiety can cause physical and psychological changes which ultimately activate the sympathetic autonomic nerves, thereby increasing heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory frequency, and generally reducing energy levels in the patient, and ultimately can be detrimental to the patient. itself because it will have an impact on the implementation of operations. To determine the relationship between therapeutic communication and the level of anxiety of primigravida mothers in facing SC delivery at Bhayangkara Brimob Hospital in 2023. The research approach used in this research is cross-sectional. The population in this study was 30 women pre-SC surgery. The sample in this study was 30 people. The sampling technique is total sampling. Researchers used the Chi Square test. The research results showed that the majority's anxiety level was moderate anxiety level at 46.7%. The majority of therapeutic communication is good therapeutic communication as much as 63.3%. From the statistical test results, it was found that P value = 0.002, meaning P value &lt; α (0.05). There is a relationship between therapeutic communication and the level of anxiety of primigravida mothers in facing SC delivery at Bhayangkara Brimob Hospital in 2023.

The effect of educational- supportive program on the anxiety of mothers of infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)

IntroductionThe admission of preterm infants to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) often causes stress and anxiety in their mothers. Nurses must implement nursing interventions for mothers as the most important caregivers of infants. Accordingly, the present study aimed to explore the effect of Educational- Supportive Program (multi-sensory stimulation) on the anxiety of mothers of preterm infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units. MethodsThe present study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups and pretest and posttest and was conducted on 100 mothers of preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The mothers who met the inclusion criteria were selected as the participants using convenience sampling and were randomly placed into intervention and control groups (50 persons in each group) by drawing lots. The participants in the intervention group performed multi-sensory interventions for the infant for 12 min at a time, once a day for 5 days a week according to the instructions provided by the researcher. The mothers in the control group did not perform any intervention for their infants. The participants in both groups completed the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) on the first day and one week after admission. ResultsThe results showed that the mean scores of maternal anxiety for the participants in the intervention and control groups before the intervention were 38.98 ± 3.44 and 35.86 ± 7.16, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference (P = 0.007). Besides, the mean scores of maternal anxiety for the participants in the intervention and control groups one week after the intervention were 33.36 ± 3.46 and 36.22 ± 7.46, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). ConclusionThe present study showed that the multisensory stimulation intervention had a positive and significant effect on the anxiety of mothers of preterm infants and reduced it. Therefore, this simple and practical relaxing measure can be used by nurses in clinical settings to reduce maternal anxiety.

The Effectiveness of Pregnancy Exercise on Anxiety of Primigravida Mothers at The Galang Mother's Love Clinic

Congestion experienced by pregnant women can cause various negative impacts on their mental and physical health. High anxiety often contributes to mental disorders, such as depression, which can disrupt a mother's mood and emotional well-being. In addition, the stress response that arises from anxiety can result in physical problems, such as headaches, sleep disorders, and digestive problems, which ultimately impact the immune system. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of pregnancy exercise in reducing anxiety in primigravida mothers at the Kasih Ibu Galang Clinic. The method used was a quantitative study with a pretest-posttest design, involving 15 respondents who took part in a pregnancy exercise program for six weeks. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using an anxiety scale. The research results showed that the average anxiety level of respondents before participating in pregnancy exercise was 1.67, while after the intervention it decreased to 1.20. Statistical analysis produced a p-value of 0.029, which indicated a significant reduction in anxiety levels. These findings indicate that pregnancy exercise is effective in reducing anxiety in primigravida mothers, so it is recommended as an intervention to support mental health during pregnancy.

Effect of Combination of Facial Acupuncture Therapy with Lavender Aromatherapy on Reducing Postpartum Maternal Anxiety Levels in Medan Tuntungan District

Following childbirth, moms will undergo emotional fluctuations characterized by mood swings, anxiety, dizziness, and feelings of despair. Impaired maternal understanding of infant care can lead to psychological issues that impact the mother's physical well-being, including disrupted sleep patterns and reduced appetite. Failure to promptly manage anxiety in postpartum mothers can lead to the development of baby blues syndrome and postpartum depression. This study employs a Quasi Experiment design with a pre-posttest not include a control group to quantitatively investigate the impact of combining facial acupressure therapy with lavender aromatherapy on anxiety reduction in postpartum mothers. The investigation was conducted in Medan Tuntungan District, located in Medan City. One hundred postpartum women constituted the sample in this study. The data collection process involved administering treatment (facial acupressure therapy with lavender aromatherapy), followed by observation and interviews conducted using the HARS instrument. The analysis conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test revealed a negative ranks value of 94. This indicates that out of the 100 postpartum women who participated in the study, 94 mothers reported a reduction in anxiety levels. The positive rankings index is 0, indicating that none of the 100 postpartum moms who participated in the study reported a rise in anxiety levels. The tie value of 6 indicates that among the 100 postpartum moms who participated in the study, 6 mothers did not show any significant difference in anxiety levels before and after undergoing a combination of Facial Acupressure Therapy with Lavender Aromatherapy. Moreover, it is established that the significance value at this stage of analysis is 0.000 or greater than ? (0.05). Therefore, it can be inferred that there is a significant impact of the combination of Facial Acupressure Therapy with Lavender Aromatherapy on the reduction of anxiety levels in postpartum mothers.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POSTPARTUM ANXIETY AND BABY BLUES SYNDROME AT UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA HOSPITAL

Background: Postpartum mothers are vulnerable to mental health problems, including baby blues syndrome, which occurs in the first week. Baby blues syndrome has the potential to predict postpartum depression, and if left untreated, it can lead to more severe mental disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of postpartum maternal anxiety and the occurrence of baby blues syndrome at Universitas Airlangga Hospital. Method: This was a quantitative study with an observational analytic method and a cross-sectional design. The population in this study was mothers 1-2 days postpartum who were treated at Universitas Airlangga Hospital in December 2023. The study involved 33 postpartum mothers sampled using the consecutive sampling method. The instruments used were questionnaires, the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) to measure anxiety and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to measure symptoms of baby blues syndrome. The analysis method used was the chi-square test. Results: Respondents with anxiety without symptoms were 12 (36.36%), none of whom experienced baby blues syndrome. Out of 16 respondents with mild to moderate anxiety and experienced baby blues syndrome, one person (3.03%) did. And out of 5 respondents with severe anxiety and experienced baby blues syndrome, one person (3.03%). The p-value of 0.289 based on the chi-square test. Conclusion: The level of anxiety in postpartum mothers is not related to the incidence of Baby Blues Syndrome.

Impact of motherhood and social support on the wellbeing of UK female police officers and staff

Abstract Background Female officers and staff face gender-specific challenges, particularly, during pregnancy and motherhood. Our study explores whether and how motherhood affects mental health outcomes (e.g., probable depression and anxiety) and return to work following sickness absence (SA), considering mediating role of workplace social support. Methods Logistic regression analysed probable depression and anxiety using Airwave Health Monitoring Study (AHMS) data. Cox proportional hazards models assessed return to work after sickness absence, linking AHMS with sickness absence data from 26 police forces. Exposure variables were created by the interaction of motherhood status and social support, while covariates included sociodemographic, lifestyle, and work-related factors. Results Mothers with low social support from superiors had higher odds of probable depression (OR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.81-2.54) and anxiety (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.62-2.14) compared to non-mothers. Moderate and high social support reduced odds of depression (Moderate: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.85-1.11; High: OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.57-0.73) and anxiety (Moderate: OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.12-1.36; High: OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.75-0.9) for mothers, but the impact varied when adjusted for covariates. Mothers with lower levels of social support were less likely to return to work after SA compared to non-mothers, as indicated by the survival analysis (Low social support: HR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.95-1.13; High social support: HR = 1, 95% CI = 0.96-1.04). These trends persisted across social support sources-colleagues and combined support-emphasising the complex interplay between workplace social support, motherhood, mental health, and sickness absence in policing. Conclusions Our study emphasises boosting workplace social support for female police officers and staff, to aid them in navigating motherhood demands. This improvement can lead to better mental health, retention, job satisfaction, and organisational effectiveness, ultimately promoting community safety. Key messages • Highlighting the importance of workplace social support for female police officers and staff, informs policy makers and practitioners to prioritize social support initiatives within policing. • Lower social support was associated with a reduced likelihood of returning to work after sickness absence, particularly among mothers compared to non-mothers.

The Influence of Prenatal Yoga Exercise on Mother Anxiety Pregnant

Anxiety during pregnancy not only affects the health of pregnant women but can also have an impact on the delivery process such as premature labor, prolonged labour, cesarean delivery, low birth weight. Based on WHO data, there are around 10% of pregnant women with psychological disorders and about 13% of postpartum women worldwide. This incidence is higher in developing countries in pregnant women, namely 15.6% and 19.8% in postpartum women. The purpose of this study is The Effect of Prenatal Yoga Exercise on the Anxiety of Pregnant Women at TPMB Mamah Suhaeriah in 2022. Research method This type of research uses the Pre-Experimental method with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. Sampling using total sampling with a total sample of 20 respondents. The research instrument used was an observation sheet. The data analysis used is the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test statistical test. Research results based on the results of statistical tests using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test, the p-value (0.000

Family Factors of Conduct Problems in Children and their Genetic Aspects: Review of Empirical Research

The analysis of empirical studies and reviews was conducted to highlight the influence of four family factors: socio-economic status, family structure, parental stress (symptoms of anxiety and depression in mothers), and inconsistent discipline on children’s behavioral problems. Studies that assess heredity’s contribution to each factor were also examined. Known and hypothesized mechanisms that negatively affect child behavior are described. The importance of changing the proximal environment for correcting behavior problems, particularly inconsistent discipline, is emphasized.

Child and adolescent social withdrawal predict adult psychosocial adjustment: A meta-analysis

This systematic review and set of five meta-analyses synthesized the results of prospective longitudinal publications on childhood and/or adolescent social withdrawal as a predictor of adult psychosocial adjustment. Meta-analyses were conducted with results for five adult outcomes from 31 publications derived from 14 longitudinal samples and a combined sample size of 19,806 adults (50% women, M = 38.88 years, 83% White) with childhood and/or adolescent ( ≤ 16 years) histories of social withdrawal and their offspring (N = 175). Dependency among publications derived from the same longitudinal samples was explicitly modeled in meta-analyses with clustering. Meta-analytic results support childhood and/or adolescent social withdrawal as a medium-sized risk factor for adult social anxiety and intergenerational difficulties in mothers and their offspring (both p &amp;lt; 0.0001); a small-size risk factor for delayed adult developmental milestones (p &amp;lt; 0.05), adult social withdrawal (p &amp;lt; 0.0001), other anxiety (p &amp;lt; 0.05), and depression (p &amp;lt; 0.01); and a small-size protective factor against adult substance use (p &amp;lt; 0.01). However, meta-analytic results did not support childhood and/or adolescent social withdrawal as a predictor of physical health, likely due to the heterogeneous nature of the investigated health outcomes. Consistent with a Developmental Science Model, results are interpreted as supporting interpersonal mechanisms (missing out, interpersonal stress, and poor relationship quality) and developmental cascades (cross domain-influences) in socially withdrawn children's life-course development. Because evidence for intergenerational difficulties was based on a single longitudinal sample, confidence in intergenerational effects would be increased by replication in other samples. Heterogeneity among effect sizes included in most meta-analyses suggests that the relation between childhood and/or adolescent social withdrawal and adult outcomes is likely to be moderated by other factors. Future directions in this area of research are discussed.

Enhancing Maternal Comfort: The Impact of Endorphin Massage Therapy on Reducing Preoperative Pain and Anxiety in Primigravida Mothers Undergoing Cesarean Section

Pain and anxiety are significant challenges for primigravida mothers undergoing cesarean sections, with potential adverse effects on both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Endorphin massage therapy has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention to mitigate these challenges by promoting the release of endorphins, which act as natural analgesics and anxiolytics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endorphin massage therapy in reducing preoperative pain and anxiety levels in primigravida mothers scheduled for cesarean sections in Lubuklinggau, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 21 primigravida mothers divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received endorphin massage therapy, administered twice daily for three consecutive days prior to the cesarean section. Pain and anxiety levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), respectively. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the pre- and post-intervention scores. The study found a significant reduction in both pain (mean difference: -4.3; 95% CI: -1.92 to -8.71; p &lt; 0.001) and anxiety levels (mean difference: -8.3; 95% CI: -2.1 to -11.2; p &lt; 0.001) in the intervention group compared to the control group. The reduction in anxiety was more pronounced than in pain, indicating the potent anxiolytic effect of endorphin massage therapy. Endorphin massage therapy significantly reduces preoperative pain and anxiety in primigravida mothers undergoing cesarean sections, particularly in alleviating anxiety. This non-pharmacological intervention could be a valuable addition to standard peripartum care, offering a safe, cost-effective alternative to pharmacological treatments. Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to confirm these findings and explore long-term outcomes.
