Infant Outcomes in Hypertensive Women
The Relationship Between Planned and Reported Home Infant Sleep Locations Among Mothers of Late Preterm and Term Infants
Patterns of Physical Symptoms and Relationships With Psychosocial Factors in Adolescents
OBJECTIVES: Physical symptoms are common in otherwise healthy adolescents. This study sought to identify meaningful patterns of multiple physical symptoms and to examine relationships between the patterns and psychosocial factors. One-year stability of symptom patterns and factors contributing to stability were also examined. METHODS: This secondary data analysis used longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of adolescents in gra…
In-Home Intervention for Depressive Symptoms With Low-Income Mothers of Infants and Toddlers in the United States
Depressive symptoms in low-income mothers negatively affect infant-toddler development. This pilot study tested a short-term, home-based depressive symptom intervention with 16 African American and White, Non-Hispanic mothers in Early Head Start (EHS) programs who were randomly assigned to intervention and usual care/waiting list conditions. Mothers met in their homes with master's-prepared psychiatric mental health nurses who worked with them to…
Early Interactions Between Mothers and Their Medically Fragile Infants
The purpose of this study was to examine the interactions of 56 medically fragile infants and their mothers and to determine the influence of infant age, neurological status, maternal education, ethnicity, and observation location on these interactions. The interactions were observed for about 1 hr every 2 months while in the hospital, 1 month after hospital discharge, and at 6 months corrected age. The age of the infants had the greatest effect …
Beyond couvade
Thirty‐six couples with a history of infertility reported their physical, positive emotional, and negative emotional symptoms during pregnancy. The women experienced more physical symptoms than did the men. Both the men and women experienced second‐trimester decreases in negative emotional symptoms and third‐trimester increases in negative emotional symptoms. The women's physical symptoms also showed a second‐trimester dip. Each symptom type was …
Somewhere Out There
This article describes the process of parental claiming expressed in multiple interviews conducted with 35 infertile couples waiting to adopt a child. Parental claiming is the special kind of emotional and intellectual work that adopting couples do prior to placement to make someone else's child "somewhere out there" their own. It involves creating an object to claim, undermining the primacy of blood ties, and transforming someone else's child in…
Amniocentesis in the context of infertility
The encounter with amniocentesis compels infertile couples to experience again the mix of adversity, uncertainty, and hope characterizing both infertility and prenatal testing. Findings from open-ended interviews of 38 couples, 25 infertile and 13 fertile, participating in an ongoing longitudinal field study of infertile childbearing and adopting couples suggest that amniocentesis both reprises elements of the infertility experience and interrupt…
The clock has been ticking, the calendar pages turning, and we are still waiting
Living the life
This paper addresses the paradoxes of infertility and the explanatory models infertile couples construct to resolve them. The analysis is based on multiple interviews with 53 infertile couples and a comparison group of 10 couples with no fertility impairments in the process of achieving parenthood through pregnancy and adoption, and single interviews with three infertile couples one to two years after having their last child. Couples defined infe…
