- cognitive, emotional and motor child development at almost four years of age.
Background summary
10-15% of all pregnant women experience anxious or depressive symptoms
postnatal. Therefore it is one of the most common complications of
pregnancy/childbirth. Having a history on anxiety/depression, complications
during previous pregnancies/childbirths and recently having experienced a
stressful life-event are well known risk factors for developing a postnatal
depression/anxiety. Specific kinds of psychopathology have been associated with
certain aspects of personality. However, these studies have been done with men
and non-pregnant women. Studying personality and the established perinatal risk
factors in women might lead to a predictive model for postnatal
depression/anxiety and may also lead to a predictive model for
mother-to-infant bonding.
The importance of adequate mother-to-infant bonding has been shown in few
studies. For example, lower levels of postpartum mother-to-infant bonding have
been found to be associated with poorer social-emotional development of the
child (Mason, 2011), while higher levels of mother-to infant bonding might
promote better adjustment to the maternal role and survival and early
development of the infant.
This study investigate to what extend mother-to-infant bonding is a mediator in
the cognitive, emotional and motor child development.
Study objective
Developing a risk score based on established risk factors and personality
traits, to predict possible postnatal anxiety/depression with or without
problems in bonding between mother and child at the first consult at the
midwives practice or department of obstetrics of the hospital. As well as to
develop a model to predict mother-to-infant bonding. To investigate what
extend mother-to-infant bonding is a mediator in the cognitive, emotional and
motor child development.
Study design
An observational longitudinal study in primary, secondary and tertiary
obstetric care.
Study burden and risks
This study does not bring any risks for the participants. The burden of
participation is very low; women are asked to fill in some questionnaires at
some points during pregnancy and in the first year postnatal, which will take
them 3,4 hours in 53 months. The benefits of this study are on population
level; being able to identify women with a high risk on postnatal
anxiety/depression with or without problems in bonding between mother and child
in obstetric care or with high risk of child development problems gives the
opportunity to tailor individual care.
