“…Similar to the present results, mothers of children aged 0-3 years with congenital anomaly or atopic dermatitis had lowered QoL. [33][34][35] Although depressive and general psychiatric symptom levels of mothers of children with DS were high, having a baby with DS did not seem to affect their quality of psychological health in the present study. Behavioral problems are found to become more prevalent as DS children grow up.…”

Background The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) of mothers of children with Down syndrome (DS) and the factors related to it. Methods Seventy‐five DS child–mother diads and 54 healthy child–mother diads were included in this study. The brief World Health Organization Quality of Life scale – Turkish version (WHOQOL‐BREF‐TR), Symptom Check List‐90‐Revised (SCL‐90‐TR), Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were completed by mothers to assess maternal QoL, burnout, anxiety, depression and general psychiatric symptoms. Results Mothers of DS children had significantly higher SCL‐90 general symptom index scores, Beck depressive symptom scores and higher scores in all domains of the brief World Health Organization Quality of Life scale – (WHOQOL‐BREF‐TR) except the WHOQOL‐BREF‐TR‐psychological health domain. MBI personal achievement scores were weakly correlated with psychological health in mothers of DS children. There was a reverse correlation between comorbid disorders and the WHOQOL‐BREF‐TR psychological health domain, and a weak correlation between sex (having a baby girl with DS) and increased WHOQOL‐BREF‐TR physical health domain score. Number of offspring was negatively correlated with maternal social quality of life. Conclusion Mothers of children with DS are negatively affected in terms of QoL and mental health, even in the early period. It would be useful to systematically screen these mothers and to refer them for appropriate intervention at an early stage.

“…Eight of the studies had at least one comparison group, such as caregivers and mothers of full-term infants [25][26][27], women with other pregnancy complication than a preterm delivery [28], mothers of nearterm (34-37 weeks of gestation) infants [27], parents of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants not participating in a Clinical Randomized Intervention Trial [30], mothers of preterm infants who did not require and previously received home oxygen therapy [31], mothers of infants who did not receive any intensive care or who received special care only for up to a maximum of 3 days [29] and families of neurologically normal infants [23]. The remaining four studies [32][33][34][35] assessed the QoL of mothers of preterm infants. Almost all studies used a quantitative methodology (n = 11), assessing QoL through seven different standard instruments.…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that may affect quality of life of mothers who delivered premature infants. Methods: With survey design, data were collected from 145 mothers of premature infants with corrected age of 2 months to 12 months from January 9 to February 2, 2017. Quality of life was assessed with two measures of direct survey in the selected hospital and online survey. A self-report questionnaire was administered regarding personality of the mothers and the infants, postpartum depression, parenting stress, social support, and the quality of life. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results: The quality of life of the mothers of the premature infants was influenced by postpartum depression, parenting stress, parents-infant dysfunctional interactions, and social support accounted for 65% of the variance. Conclusion: These results indicate that early screening and continuous management of postpartum depression during postpartum period are important to improve the quality of life of the mothers of the premature infants. Education program and information and social support systems need to be developed to monitor mother-infant interaction and their role development.
