“…We confirmed the study hypothesis that Hispanic mothers living with at least one other adult family member had better physical and psychological health than those living with no one. This finding supports previous works concluding that the isolation of mothers who have no adults is associated with reduced well‐being (Hughes & Waite, ; Mowbray et al., ) and more episodes of depression (Cairney, Thorpe, Rietschlin, & Avison, ; Cairney et al., ). Single mothers with mental health problems could be expected to have lower ability to care for their health by themselves.…”

Introduction: Household composition is seen as a critical factor for recovery of Hispanic mothers with mental illness, but little research has examined the relationship of household composition and health. Aim: This study examined how household composition and family functioning impact on both physical and psychological health of Hispanic mothers receiving outpatient mental health services. Method: The study analysed baseline data of 137 Hispanic mothers participating in a randomized trial of “Healthy Home,” a family-strengthening home health intervention. A bilingual (English/Spanish) research assessor interviewed participants regarding household composition, family hassles, family cohesion and mother’s physical and psychological health. Results: Mothers living with at least one other adult and having fewer family hassles had better health outcomes. Mothers living with a greater number of adult in the house were more likely to have fatigue and depression. Discussion: Hispanic mothers having no adults to help them in the house are less able to maintain their physical and psychological health. A family-centred approach for mothers requires integrated assessments and interventions including the families as units. Implication for practice: Interventions for Hispanic mothers with mental health problems should be grounded in supporting the values and strengths of the Hispanic familial networks.

“…Surprisingly, we did not find that unmarried female carers were more likely to have high depressive symptoms than married carers, which is inconsistent with the results of previous studies for mothers with young children with ID (Blacher et al . 1997; Cairney et al . 1999; Lovejoy et al .…”

Observational cues are used more often than direct questions or screening tools to identify mothers at risk of depression. This may under-identify mothers at risk. Paediatricians prefer to rely on other professionals, particularly social services, to address maternal depression, yet mothers may be hesitant or ambivalent about such assistance because of fear of judgement. Paediatricians, in fact, may be the professional mothers most want to communicate with. Thus, appreciation of mothers' perspectives, empathetic communication skills and knowledge of community resources can enhance paediatricians' abilities to assist mothers at risk for depression.
