Titre : Preconception maternal posttraumatic stress and child negative affectivity: Prospectively evaluating the intergenerational impact of trauma Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Danielle A. SWALES, Auteur ; Elysia Poggi DAVIS, Auteur ; Nicole E. MAHRER, Auteur ; Christine M. GUARDINO, Auteur ; Madeleine U. SHALOWITZ, Auteur ; Sharon L. RAMEY, Auteur ; Chris DUNKEL SCHETTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.619-629 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : intergenerational transmission negative affectivity preconception PTSD trauma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The developmental origins of psychopathology begin before birth and perhaps even prior to conception. Understanding the intergenerational transmission of psychopathological risk is critical to identify sensitive windows for prevention and early intervention. Prior research demonstrates that maternal trauma history, typically assessed retrospectively, has adverse consequences for child socioemotional development. However, very few prospective studies of preconception trauma exist, and the role of preconception symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains unknown. The current study prospectively evaluates whether maternal preconception PTSD symptoms predict early childhood negative affectivity, a key dimension of temperament and predictor of later psychopathology. One hundred and eighteen women were recruited following a birth and prior to conception of the study child and were followed until the study child was 3-5 years old. Higher maternal PTSD symptoms prior to conception predicted greater child negative affectivity, adjusting for concurrent maternal depressive symptoms and sociodemographic covariates. In exploratory analyses, we found that neither maternal prenatal nor postpartum depressive symptoms or perceived stress mediated this association. These findings add to a limited prospective literature, highlighting the importance of assessing the mental health of women prior to conception and providing interventions that can disrupt the intergenerational sequelae of trauma.

Titre : Prospective associations of prenatal stress with child behavior: Moderation by the early childhood caregiving environment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gabrielle R. RINNE, Auteur ; Mallory PODOSIN, Auteur ; Nicole E. MAHRER, Auteur ; Madeleine U. SHALOWITZ, Auteur ; Sharon Landesman RAMEY, Auteur ; Christine DUNKEL SCHETTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1083-1094 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Home environment inhibitory control mental health parenting prenatal stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Fetal exposure to prenatal stress can increase risk for psychopathology but postnatal caregiving may offset risk. This study tests whether maternal sensitivity and the home environment during early childhood modify associations of prenatal stress with offspring behavior in a sample of 127 mother-child pairs (n = 127). Mothers reported on perceived stress during pregnancy. Maternal sensitivity was rated by coders during a parent-child free play task when children were 4 years old. One year later, mothers reported on the home environment, child internalizing and externalizing behaviors, and children completed an assessment of inhibitory control. As hypothesized, the early childhood caregiving environment modified associations of prenatal stress with child behavior. Specifically, prenatal stress was associated with more internalizing behaviors at lower levels of maternal sensitivity and in home environments that were lower in emotional support and cognitive stimulation, but not at mean or higher levels. Furthermore, prenatal stress was associated with lower inhibitory control only at lower levels of maternal sensitivity, but not at higher levels. Maternal sensitivity and an emotionally supportive and cognitively stimulating home environment in early childhood may be important factors that mitigate risk for mental health problems among children exposed to prenatal stress.
