Results indicated that institutional care quality was significantly improved in the intervention institutions, but remained unchanged in the control institutions. Furthermore, while the cognitive and language developmental gap of the infant and toddlers in the control group increased, this gap declined slightly for the infants and children in the intervention group. For the preschool-age group, it seemed that the general development t scores of the children in the intervention group increased, but those of the control group children decreased. It can be concluded that the intervention program was effective in increasing the care quality in orphanages and had a positive effect on the language and cognitive development of infants and preschoolers. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollar un programa de intervencion que incluyera un enriquecimiento del entorno y un entrenamiento a quienes prestan cuidado para mejorar el lenguaje y el desarrollo cognitivo de infantes y ninos pequenos que residen en lugares institucionalizados en Turquia. Los resultados indican que la calidad del cuidado institucional mejoro significativamente en las instituciones que participaron en la intervencion, pero se mantuvo sin cambios en las instituciones del grupo de control. Es mas, mientras que la brecha en el desarrollo cognitivo y de lenguaje de infantes y ninos pequenos se incremento en el grupo de control, la misma declino ligeramente en el caso de infantes y ninos en el grupo de intervencion. En el caso del grupo de edad preescolar parecio que los puntajes generales de desarrollo de los ninos en el grupo de intervencion se incrementaron, pero dichos puntajes bajaron en el caso de los ninos en el grupo de control. Se puede concluir que el programa de intervencion fue efectivo en cuanto al incremento de la calidad del cuidado en los orfanatos y que tuvo un efecto positivo en el lenguaje y desarrollo cognitivo de los infantes y ninos de edad preescolar. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Le but de cette etude etait de developper un programme d'intervention incorporant un enrichissement environnemental et une formation des modes de soin afin d'ameliorer le langage et le developpement cognitif des nourrissons et jeunes enfants residant dans des milieux institutionnels en Turquie.

Multiple contributors to parenting stress have been proposed, but disaggregation of distinct pathways has been relatively unexplored. In addition, the contribution of maternal experience of childhood trauma has been inadequately considered. Childhood trauma and parenting stress are common in mothers in home visiting programs. Understanding the relation between childhood trauma and parenting stress holds promise for improvement of home visiting approaches. This study examined the relation between childhood trauma and parenting stress, with a focus on the mediating roles of depression and social support. Participants consisted of 208 first-time mothers enrolled in a home visiting program who were assessed at about 5 months' postpartum. Measures of maternal childhood trauma, depression, social support, and parenting stress were administered. A multiple mediator model revealed that childhood trauma was related to parenting stress, and the relation between childhood trauma and parenting stress was separately mediated by both depression and social support. Depression and social support uniquely and distinctly accounted for the association between childhood trauma and parenting stress. Home visiting programs may improve their impact on parenting stress by augmenting or modifying strategies to more effectively address maternal depression and social support.

Maternal representations (Working Model of the Child Interview; C.H. Zeanah, D. Benoit, L. Hirshberg, M.L. Barton, & C. Regan, 1994), maternal personality (Revised NEO Personality Inventory; P.T. Costa & R.R. McCrae, 1992), and experiences of domestic violence (Severity of Violence Against Women Scales; L. Marshall, 1992) were assessed in a community sample of 180 women during pregnancy and 1 year postpartum. Logistic regression analyses assessed main and interaction effects of personality traits and IPV exposure on maternal representations in pregnancy and stability and change over the first year of life. Maternal openness and agreeableness increased the odds of balanced prenatal representations while extraversion predicted change from nonbalanced to balanced representations when the child was age 1 year. The relationship with conscientiousness and openness was moderated by IPV exposure. The authors conclude that the interaction of IPV and maternal personality has significant implications for the earliest substrates of parenting. Future research may include maternal personality variables to further explicate their role as broad predictors of caregiving representations. Clarification of the role of neuroticism is needed. These findings may inform the development of family-based interventions targeting caregiving and insecure attachment relationships.

Southall","doi":"10.1002/IMHJ.21378","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/IMHJ.21378","url":null,"abstract":"This study compared the problem-solving strategies among 20 mothers whose infants were diagnosed with a feeding disorder against 20 matched controls. The mothers from the two groups were matched for age and level of education. All mothers completed two questionnaires: the Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale and the Parenting Stress Index (R.R. Abidin, 1990). To measure maternal problem-solving skill, the Parent Means-End Problem-Solving Instrument (D.M. Bryant & B.H. Wasik, 1994) was administered. As expected, statistically significant differences were related to the number and frequency of feeding problems reported and difficulties with mealtime management. Furthermore, mothers of children with a diagnosed feeding disorder demonstrated fewer problem-solving skills and made use of more “high-control solutions” (e.g., forcing the child to comply or punishing the child). In contrast, parents of children without feeding disorders preferred to implement more indirect problem-solving strategies (e.g., planning to remove the child from the situation). Mounting evidence has suggested that difficulties in parenting a child with a diagnosed nonorganic feeding disorder stem from both child- and parent-related factors. The current study provides tentative early evidence for the role of maternal high-controlling problem-solving strategies in a small sample of children diagnosed with this disorder. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Este estudio comparo las estrategias de como resolver problemas en el caso de veinte madres cuyos infantes tenian un diagnostico de un trastorno de alimentacion frente a veinte madres en el grupo de control. Las madres de los dos grupos fueron emparejadas segun la edad y el nivel de educacion. Todas las madres completaron dos cuestionarios: La Escala de Evaluacion de la Conducta Pediatrica de Alimentacion y el Indice de Tension en la Crianza. Para medir las habilidades maternales de resolver problemas, se les administro el Instrumento para Padres de Medios-Finalidad para Resolver Problemas. Como se esperaba, diferencias estadisticamente significativas fueron relacionadas con el numero y frecuencia de los problemas de alimentacion reportados y dificultades en el manejo de la hora de la comida. Es mas, las madres de ninos con un diagnostico de trastorno de alimentacion demostraron menos habilidades de resolver problemas e hicieron uso de mas “soluciones de alto control” (v.g. forzar al nino a cumplir o castigar al nino). En contraste, las madres de ninos sin trastornos de alimentacion prefirieron implementar estrategias de resolver problemas mas indirectas (v.g. planear para aislar al nino de la situacion). La evidencia de base sugiere que las dificultades en la crianza de un nino con un diagnostico de trastorno de alimentacion no organico resultan tanto de factores relacionados con el nino como factores relacionados con la madre.

Unfortunately, parents and their young children with special needs often face behavioral challenges and life stressors related to the children's delays/disabilities that can interfere with the development of emotionally positive relationships. This study explores the usefulness of two standardized measures, the Emotional Availability Scales (EAS; Z. Biringen, J.L. Robinson, & R.N. Emde, 1998) and the Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS; A.B. Magana-Amato, 1993), for assessing the emotional quality of relationships between parents and their children aged 3 years or younger with special needs. To date, neither measure has been used extensively with this population. Each of the 38 participating dyads included a child with an identified delay/disability. Results of the EAS suggest that it is a viable measure for assessing the relationships of parents and their young children with special needs. The FMSS results, though less clear, suggest that with certain limits, it also is a viable measure for use with this population. This study can inform the debate about the need to integrate early childhood mental health practices into all child/family services and to provide appropriate training to meet the growing demand for such relationship-based services. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Las relaciones susceptibles, sensibles y fiables son claves para proveer el apoyo y el estimulo que todo nino necesita para un desarrollo optimo.

Este estudio explora la utilidad de dos medidas estandarizadas, las Escalas de Disponibilidad Emocional (EAS) (Biringen, Robinson y Emde, 1998) y la Muestra de Cinco Minutos de Habla (FMSS) (Magana-Amato, 1993), para evaluar la calidad emocional de las relaciones entre los padres y sus ninos de tres anos de edad o menores con necesidades especiales. Hasta la fecha, ninguna de estas medidas ha sido utilizada extensamente con este grupo de ninos.

Los resultados de EAS sugieren que la misma es una medida viable para evaluar las relaciones entre padres y sus ninos con necesidades especiales. Los resultados de FMSS, aunque menos claros, sugieren que dentro de ciertos limites, esta es tambien una medida viable para ser usada con este grupo de poblacion.
