“…This instrument was developed to evaluate postpartum parenting stress based on the 78-item PSI [ 18 ], which had itself originated from Abidin’s 101-item PSI [ 1 , 19 ]. The J-PSI-SF has good internal consistency (Cronbach α = 0.87), test–retest consistency over a 1-year interval ( r = 0.73), and a three-factor structure composed of difficult child, parental distress, and spouse factors [ 20 ] ( ).…”

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests a long-term health risk of cesarean section for the mother and child, but few studies have examined the link between cesarean section and parenting stress. Here, we examined this association by exploiting a large dataset. Methods: Participants were 65,235 mothers participating in the Japan Environment and Children's Study, an ongoing nationwide birth cohort. Outcome variables were parenting stress assessed as total score and subscale scores (representing the difficult child, parental distress, and spouse factors) on the Japanese 19-item version of the Parenting Stress IndexShort Form (J-PSI-SF). Exposures were the mode of delivery, the timing of J-PSI-SF assessment (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 years postpartum), and the interaction between them. Multivariate regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted β coefficients and standard error of the means (SEMs).Results: The J-PSI-SF total score was higher in the cesarean section group than in the vaginal delivery group (adjusted β = 0.24, SEM = 0.09). This increase was primarily due to higher scores for the difficult child factor (adjusted β = 0.18, SEM = 0.05) and not to higher scores for the parental distress or spouse factor.Conclusions: Cesarean section was associated with higher parenting stress, especially in relation to the difficult child factor. Our results highlight the importance of paying particular attention to the mental health of both mother and child in the case of cesarean section.

“…14 The number of food eliminations was defined by the number of parental reported food allergy reactions with eliminations by the questionnaire. As for outcome variables, we used the validated Japanese version of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) with 19-item [16][17][18] 16 The confounder factors were place of recruitment, maternal age, maternal allergy history, maternal food allergy history, maternal highest education level, marital status, house income, siblings, sex, daycare center, stress events, partner's support, child's eczema, child's asthma, child's hay fever, and child's other allergic history.…”

BackgroundFood allergy children and their families tend to have emotional distress and anxiety. There have been few reports of differences in parenting stress and a child's food allergy phenotypes.MethodsWe examined the associations between food allergy phenotypes in children and parenting stress assessed by the Parenting Stress Index‐Short Form (PSI‐SF) from a national birth cohort (Japan Environment and Children's Study).ResultsWe included 65,805 children for statistical analysis. Of them, 7.2% of children had a food allergy diagnosis at 2 years old. The means of the total PSI‐SF (39.9 ± 10.3, 39.1 ± 9.9), CD‐SF (19.5 ± 5.4, 19.1 ± 5.2), and PD‐SF (20.5 ± 6.3, 20.0 ± 6.1) scores are similar for caregivers in the with and without food allergy groups. Food allergy diagnosis resulted in significantly higher total PSI scores (coefficient .47, 95% CI 0.19–0.75, p = .001), CD‐SF (coefficient .22, 95% CI 0.07–0.38, p = .004), and PD‐SF (coefficient .24, 95% CI 0.08–0.41, p = .004). A similar trend was observed for allergy reactions to hen's egg. However, there was no clear relationship between allergic reactions to milk, wheat, nuts, and PSI‐SF.ConclusionsParental stress was significantly related to a child's food allergy. Furthermore, hen's egg allergy increased parental stress. Multiple food avoidance might also increase parental stress. Healthcare providers need to be aware of parental stress in our daily clinic.

“…Parenting stress was evaluated using the Japanese Version of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (Hatakeyama et al, 2022;Narama et al, 1999), which is based on a shortened version of the original English version of the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) developed by Abidin (Abidin, 1995). The PSI, as well as its shorter versions, have been used in studies of mothers of very preterm infants as a means of assessing their stress levels (Gray et al, 2018;Thomas et al, 2004).…”

“…The PSI, as well as its shorter versions, have been used in studies of mothers of very preterm infants as a means of assessing their stress levels (Gray et al, 2018;Thomas et al, 2004). The scale consists of 19 items: 9 items regarding the 10 children's characteristics and 10 items about themselves (Hatakeyama et al, 2022;Narama et al, 1999). As with the original version of the PSI, the version used in this study is also reported to have high internal consistency (α = 0.87) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.73) (Hatakeyama et al, 2022).…”

Objectives: To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an onlinereal-time mindfulness-based program for mothers of NICU graduates in Japan.Methods: 20 Japanese mothers of children who used to be hospitalized in the NICU used “MELON Online”, a Japanese online mindfulness-based program, for 4 weeks. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of MELON Online, assessed through program usage frequency and post-intervention group interviews, respectively. The secondary objective focused on investigating preliminary efficacy of the intervention on trait anxiety, parenting stress, mindfulness, and self-compassion. This was examined using paired samples t-tests and Hedge's g effect size estimates.Results: Average completion weeks across the 20 mothers was 2.5 weeks. 15 participants completed the program for two weeks or more, and 85% of participants completed at least one of the two post-intervention assessments. Among the 16 pre- and post-intervention survey completers, there was a statistically significant reduction in trait anxiety. Live classes were more strongly associated with improvements to mindfulness than archival courses. In the post-intervention group interviews, participants reported a number of perceived benefits, including positive changes in their daily stress response patterns. No adverse events or perceived drawbacks were raised. Participants also suggested many concrete ways to make MBIs more feasible and acceptable for caregivers of preterm infants in Japan.Conclusions: This study provided preliminary evidence that a brief online real-time mindfulness-based program is feasible, acceptable, and efficacious, particularly in reducing trait anxiety in caregivers of children admitted to the NICU.
