This research examined the intergenerational transmission of depressive symptoms from mothers to their adult children through two succeeding mediators: a child’s perception of emotional availability from their mothers, and a child’s social skills. To do so, this study integrated principles from the integrative model of risk from depressed mother to offspring, attachment theory, and the social skills deficit theory of depression. Child reports of depressive symptoms, perceived emotional availability from mothers, and social skills were assessed as well as mother reports of depressive symptoms from 224 (N = 448) mother-child dyads. Results showed that maternal depressive symptoms were significantly related to child perceptions of emotional availability. Moreover, emotional availability was positively related to child social skills, which in turn was negatively related to child depressive symptoms. Additionally, the indirect effect from maternal depressive symptoms to child depressive symptoms through the mediators was significant. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract Introduction Several psychosocial factors contribute to the etiology of sleep bruxism in childhood, including emotional-behavioral problems, as well as environmental and familial factors. It is known that sleep bruxism is prevalent in preschoolers, but most etiology studies were conducted with school-aged children or adolescents. Studies focusing on younger, preschool-aged populations that consider family-related factors are lacking. This study aimed to assess the relationship between emotional-behavioral problems and the presence of sleep bruxism in preschoolers, while taking maternal depressive symptoms into consideration. Methods Three hundred eighty-three mother-child dyads from the Maternal Adversity, Vulnerability, and Neurodevelopment (MAVAN) cohort were included in the present study. Mothers completed the Child’s Sleep Habits Questionnaires (CSHQ; includes the frequency of bruxism), a questionnaire about their child’s emotional-behavioral problems (CBCL; anxiety and depressive problems), and reported their own depressive symptoms (CES-D). Measures were completed at two timepoints: when children were 4 and 5 years old. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) models were used to evaluate the relationship between sleep bruxism frequency and children’s emotional-behavioral problems, while controlling for maternal depressive symptoms, child’s biological sex, family socioeconomic status, and age. Results Maternal reports indicated that 12% of children experienced sleep bruxism at least sometimes at age four, and 20% did at age five. Children’s anxiety and depressive symptoms were associated with increased sleep bruxism frequency (p < 0.05). Associations between children’s emotional-behavioral problems and bruxism remained statistically significant when controlling for maternal depressive symptoms, child’s biological sex, family socioeconomic status, and time (p < 0.05). Conclusion In this normative cohort of children, sleep bruxism was associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms in children as young as age four. Furthermore, this relationship can still be observed when the severity of maternal depressive symptoms is considered. Whether anxiety and depressive symptoms contribute to sleep bruxism, or vice versa, remain to be further investigated. Nevertheless, results suggest that screening of emotional-behavioral problems should be considered in children experiencing sleep bruxism. Support (if any) Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé

AbstractCanonical transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling exerts neuroprotection and influences memory formation and synaptic plasticity. It has been considered as a new target for the prevention and treatment of depression. This study aimed to examine its modulatory role in linking prenatal maternal depressive symptoms and the amygdala volumes from birth to 6 years of age. We included mother–child dyads (birth: n = 161; 4.5 years: n = 131; 6 years: n = 162) and acquired structural brain images of children at these three time points. Perinatal maternal depressive symptoms were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire to mothers at 26 weeks of pregnancy and 3 months postpartum. Our findings showed that the genetic variants of TGF-β type I transmembrane receptor (TGF-βRI) modulated the association between prenatal maternal depressive symptoms and the amygdala volume consistently from birth to 6 years of age despite a trend of significance at 4.5 years of age. Children with a lower gene expression score (GES) of TGF-βRI exhibited larger amygdala volumes in relation to greater prenatal maternal depressive symptoms. Moreover, children with a lower GES of the TGF-β type II transmembrane receptor (TGF-βRII), Smad4, and Smad7 showed larger amygdala volumes at 6 years of age in relation to greater prenatal maternal depressive symptoms. These findings support the involvement of the canonical TGF-β signaling pathway in the brain development of children in the context of in utero maternal environment. Such involvement is age-dependent.

AbstractThis prospective 20-year study assessed associations between maternal depressive symptoms in infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and child and adolescent depressive symptoms in a sample of families at high psychosocial risk. Maternal symptomatology was assessed with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) when children were infants (12 months), school-aged (age 8), and adolescents (age 19). Children's depressive symptoms were measured at age 8 (Dimensions of Depression Profile for Children and Adolescents) and age 19 (CES-D). Maternal depressive symptoms during infancy contributed to the prediction of child depressive symptoms at age 8, after controlling for concurrent maternal depressive symptoms, clinical risk in infancy, and gender. Clinical risk in infancy marginally contributed to the prediction model. Disorganization of attachment in infancy and maternal hostility were independent predictors of depressive symptoms at age 8 and did not mediate the relation between maternal and child depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms in adolescence were predicted by gender, children's depressive symptoms at age 8, maternal depressive symptoms in adolescence, and maternal depressive symptoms in infancy. There was no moderating effect of gender. Adding to previous evidence on the importance of early maternal depression, maternal depressive symptoms during infancy were related to the development of depressive symptoms in childhood and adolescence even when other variables of potential relevance were controlled.

Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua ibu bekerja yang menitipkan anaknya berusia 1-12 bulan di Tempat Penitipan Anak (TPA) di Kota Bukittinggi. Jumlah sampel 97 orang, Instrumen Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) digunakan untuk mengukur maternal depressive symptoms, uji statistik yang digunakan adalah chi square untuk melihat hubungan faktor usia, paritas, pendidikan dan pendapatan terhadap maternal depressive symptoms Hasil penelitian menemukan responden yang lebih banyak adalah bukan dengan maternal depressive symptoms (60,8%). Analisis hubungan menemukanp value untuk usia adalah 0,216, paritas 0,001, pendidikan 0,038 dan pendapatan 0,099. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah dari beberapa faktor yang diteliti, faktor yang berhubungan dengan timbulnya maternal depressive symptoms adalah paritas dan pendidikan sedangkan faktor yang tidak berhubungan adalah usia dan pendapatan. Kata kunci: adaptasi psikologis; depresi; maternal depressive symptoms THE INFLUENCING FACTORS OF MATERNAL DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN WORKING WORK RELATED TO PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM ABSTRACTPregnancy and postpartum period is a process of adaptation to physical and psychological changes. The women in this period are at risk for psychological disorders. This disorder can cause a decrease in quality of life. Working mothers have a dual role in their lives, when maternal depressive symptoms occur, the effects might be worse. The aim of this study was to determine the maternal depressive symptoms and the factors that influence maternal depressive symptoms in working mothers related to pregnancy and postpartum. This was analytical research using cross sectional design. The sample in this study were 97 working mothers who entrust their1-12 months aged children in day care centres in Bukittinggi. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to measure maternal depressive symptoms. The statistical test used was chi square to determine the relationship of age, parity, education and income factors to maternal depressive symptoms. Study showed that respondents were not with maternal depressive symptoms reached 60.8%. The relationship analysis found the p value for age was 0.216, parity 0.001, education 0.038 and income 0.099. From several factors studied, the factors that related to the onset of maternal depressive symptoms are parity and education while the factors that are not related to the onset of maternal depressive symptoms are age and income. Keywords: psychological adaptation; depression; maternal depressive symptoms
