Intergenerational transmission of mental health risk in refugee families: The role of maternal psychopathology and emotional availability / Florian SCHARPF in Development and Psychopathology, 36-4 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-4 (October 2024) . - p.1582-1595 Titre : Intergenerational transmission of mental health risk in refugee families: The role of maternal psychopathology and emotional availability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Florian SCHARPF, Auteur ; Markus PAULUS, Auteur ; Natalie CHRISTNER, Auteur ; Luisa BEERBAUM, Auteur ; Marina KAMMERMEIER, Auteur ; Tobias HECKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1582-1595 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Trauma  emotional availability  mental health  mother-child relationship  refugee Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To prevent an intergenerational cycle of malfunction, it is crucial to understand how mothers' exposure to traumatic war experiences contributes to their children s vulnerability to mental health problems. This study examined the role of maternal psychopathology and mother-child emotional availability (EA) in the association between mothers' trauma exposure and children s mental health problems in a sample of 222 Burundian mother-child dyads living in refugee camps in Tanzania. Maternal and child EA were assessed through recorded observations of mother-child interactions. In structured clinical interviews, mothers reported on their lifetime exposure to traumatic events and their psychopathology and both mothers and fathers reported on children s emotional and behavioral problems. Structural equation modeling showed that mothers' higher trauma exposure was indirectly associated with higher levels of children s mental health problems through higher levels of maternal psychopathology. Mothers' higher trauma exposure was also directly associated with lower maternal EA in mother-child interactions, which was in turn related to higher levels of children s mental health problems. The findings suggest that trauma exposure independently affects mothers' mental health and their EA, which can contribute to children s mental health problems. Interventions aiming to reduce mothers' psychopathology and strengthen their EA may be beneficial for children s well-being.
