The intervening effect of the What Being the Parent of a New Baby is Like-Revised questionnaire on maternal affect
The ‘What Being the Parent of a New Baby is Like-Revised’ (WPL-R) is an instrument designed to measure adaptation to parenthood. In the process of pilot testing and validating the WPL-R in a postpartum Dutch population, we became aware of the potentially sensitive nature of the measure. Despite the ethics committee waiving the invasive nature of the measure, we conducted a survey to explore its possible effect on women’s thoughts and emotions by …
Preparing Heart and Mind for Becoming a Parent Following a Diagnosis of Fetal Anomaly
Using a cross-sectional, grounded dimensional analysis study design, we collected demographic and health information and conducted telephone interviews with 37 expectant parents of 26 fetuses within 25 families. We describe a theoretical model with a core process of preparing heart and mind for becoming a parent following a diagnosis of fetal anomaly. The process of preparing was influenced by fetal and future child health, experiences of previou…
Preparing Heart and Mind Following Prenatal Diagnosis of Complex Congenital Heart Defect
Drawing on attachment and caregiving theory and the concept of motivation, the purpose of this descriptive study was to examine parents' retrospective accounts of their prenatal experiences after receiving the diagnosis of a fetal heart defect. These parents constituted a subgroup of participants in a larger longitudinal study of parenting an infant with a complex congenital heart defect. Data were derived from 14 semistructured interviews with 1…
The Contribution of Infant, Maternal, and Family Conditions to Maternal Feeding Competencies
OBJECTIVE: Because little is known about the role of family problem-solving processes in the development of mothers' competencies in feeding a very low birth-weight (VLBW) infant, we explored the contribution made by the competence in negotiating displayed by a mother and family member as they jointly problem solve infant-care issues. The infant's neonatal biomedical condition, maternal depressive symptoms, and family poverty status may also cont…
Mothers' Solutions to Childrearing Problems: Conditions and Processes
Karen Pridham, Nancy Denney, John Pascoe, Yiu-Ming Chiu, Diane Creasey, Mothers' Solutions to Childrearing Problems: Conditions and Processes, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 57, No. 3 (Aug., 1995), pp. 785-799
An Observation Methodology for the Study of Interactive Clinical Problem-Solving Behavior in Primary Care Settings
A methodology that is adequate for a generalized description of the interactive problem-solving behavior of client and clinician must accommodate all potential types of clinical issues and client-clinician relationships. It must also be applicable to the behavior of the client as well as that of the clinician. Furthermore, behavior must be analyzable in terms of the phase of problem-solving logic that applies at the time the behavior is observed.…
Anticipatory problem solving: Models for Clinical Practice and Research
Problem solving that anticipates a client's future is a fundamental component of primary care. However, adequate models for clinical practice and for research are needed. A paradigm of anticipatory care conceptualized as an interpersonal problem solving process is used as a framework for critical analysis of existing models and for the specification of conceptual and practical bases of new models of anticipatory care. The paper addresses question…
Toward an Adequate Theory of Stress Resolution in Work Groups
The theoreticalformulations of stress in small, face-to-faceproblem-solving or work groups that are available in the literature are characterized by conceptual problems which limit usefulness. In particular, the study of mechanisms which members use and the moves which the group as a whole makes to resolve a state of stress that is related to its functioning is precluded. This paper proposes a theoreticalformulation that is grounded in the work o…
Acts of Turning as Stress-Resolving Mechanisms in Work Groups (With Special Reference to the Work of W. R. Bion)
This study tested a theory based in Bion's work and developed to explain group members' acts of turning to individuals, group norms, and traditions, as if, in so doing, to move the group to operate in some specific mode or condition. A group operating in the condition of basic assumption culture activity is postulated to give rise to a state of stress, since in that condition, the work expectations of group members are confronted with group activ…
