Titre : Maternal attachment state of mind moderates the impact of postnatal depression on infant attachment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catherine A. MCMAHON, Auteur ; Byranne BARNETT, Auteur ; Nicholas M. KOWALENKO, Auteur ; Christopher C. TENNANT, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : p.660–669 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attachment-state-of-mind postnatal-depression attachment chronicity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Empirical studies have revealed a significant, but modest association between maternal depression and insecure mother–child attachment. Across studies, however, a substantial number of mothers with depression are able to provide a sensitive caretaking environment for their children. This paper aimed to explore whether a mother's own state of mind regarding attachment moderated the association between postpartum depression and insecure mother–child attachment.
Methods: Mothers (n = 111), mainly middle-class mothers, and their infants participated in a longitudinal study of postnatal depression, maternal attachment state of mind and child attachment. Depression was assessed using a diagnostic interview (at 4 and 12 months) and symptom checklists (at 4, 12 and 15 months). The Adult Attachment Interview was conducted at 12 months and the Strange Situation procedure at 15 months.
Results: Mothers diagnosed as depressed were more likely to have an insecure state of mind regarding attachment. Infants of chronically depressed mothers were more likely to be insecurely attached; however, the relationship between maternal depression and child attachment was moderated by maternal attachment state of mind.
Conclusions: Results are discussed with reference to resiliency factors for women with postnatal depression and implications for intervention.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2005.01547.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=751

Titre : Preschoolers'sleep behaviour: associations with parental hardiness, sleep-related cognitions and bedtime interactions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nikki JOHNSON, Auteur ; Catherine A. MCMAHON, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.765 - 773 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Preschoolers sleep hardiness bedtime-interactions sleep-related-cognitions parenting sleep-disorders parent–child-interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Childhood sleep problems which are prevalent in Western societies are associated with a wide range of emotional, cognitive and behavioural disturbances. Growing evidence suggests that parents play a pivotal role in children's sleep behaviour and that a parenting style which promotes self-regulation is beneficial. This study tested a unique model that included parental hardiness, sleep-related cognitions, bedtime interactions and child sleep behaviour.
Methods: Parents (N = 110) with a child attending preschool (mean age = 3.81 years, SD = .84) responded to a survey assessing their level of hardiness, sleep-related cognitions, bedtime interactions and their child's sleep behaviour and temperament. Secondary caregivers completed a survey assessing child sleep and temperament, and teachers/childcare workers also reported on child temperament.
Results: In line with previous research, 37% of children in this community sample met criteria for a sleep problem. Regression analyses and structural equation modelling confirmed that low parental hardiness, problematic sleep-related cognitions and a greater number of parental interactions at bedtime significantly predicted child sleep problems, after considering child temperament.
Conclusions: This study's theoretically driven model not only offers an explanation for what contributes to and maintains sleep problems in childhood but also suggests new areas for research. Importantly, the model can also be readily translated into clinical interventions to develop and enhance effective authoritative parenting.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2007.01871.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=541

Titre : The Mother-Child Relationship Following In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF): Infant Attachment, Responsivity, and Maternal Sensitivity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Frances L. GIBSON, Auteur ; Judy A. UNGERER, Auteur ; Catherine A. MCMAHON, Auteur ; Garth I. LESLIE, Auteur ; Douglas M. SAUNDERS, Auteur Année de publication : 2000 Article en page(s) : p.1015-1023 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attachment in vitro fertilisation mother-child interaction parent-child relationships maternal sensitivity infancy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Infant attachment and mother-child interaction were evaluated for 65 primiparous women and their singleton infants conceived through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and a control group of 61 women and their infants conceived naturally. The sample was enrolled during pregnancy as part of a longitudinal study. At 12 months postpartum, security of infant attachment was assessed using the Strange Situation procedure, and mother-child interaction was assessed in a free play context using the Emotional Availability Scales. IVF children demonstrated predominantly secure attachment relationships with their mothers (64.6% IVF, 55.9% controls), and there were no significant between-group differences in the proportion of IVF compared to control group children classified in any of the secure or insecure attachment groups. Furthermore, there were no significant group differences on maternal (sensitivity, structuring, hostility) or child (responsivity, involving) dimensions of interaction during play. The majority of IVF mothers (86%) were sensitive and their infants responsive (91%). Contrary to expectation, mother's ratings of greater anticipated infant difficultness assessed during pregnancy and higher ratings of infant temperament and behaviour difficulty assessed at 4 and 12 months postpartum were associated with secure attachment relationships and more optimal mother-child interaction in both the IVF and control groups.
