“…Before being assigned families in the experimental program, they participated in a three-month training program in which they each began working with two "pilot" families. Each nurse followed a caseload of [20][21][22][23][24][25] families from pregnancy through the child's second birthday. Women were actively recruited if, at intake, they had no previous live births and had any one of the following characteristics that predispose to infant health and developmental problems: young age (<19 years); single-parent status; low socioeconomic status (SES).…”

We evaluated a comprehensive program of prenatal and postpartum nurse home visitation for socially disadvantaged women bearing first children. Eighty-five per cent of the participating women were either teenagers (< 19 years at registration), unmarried, or of low socioeconomic status. Women were randomly assigned to either nurse home visitation or comparison services (free transportation for prenatal and well-child care and/or sensory and developmental screening for the child). During the first four years after

“…Although the reasons for the higher rates of problem behavior among single-parent families remain unclear, a number of factors are likely to contribute. For example, single parents often have limited financial resources, greater social isolation, and fewer coping resources compared with parents in traditional two-parent families (Elder, Eccles, Ardelt, & Lord, 1995;Gabel, 1992;Norton & Glick, 1986). Also, youth from single-parent families appear to be more susceptible to peer pressure (Steinberg, 1987b) and more likely to make decisions without consulting a parent (Dornbusch et al, 1985).…”

This study examined how parenting factors were associated with adolescent problem behaviors among urban minority youth and to what extent these relationships were moderated by family structure and gender. Sixth-grade students (N = 228) reported how often they use alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or engage in aggressive or delinquent behaviors; a parent or guardian reported their monitoring and other parenting practices. Findings indicated that boys and those from singleparent families engaged in the highest rates of problem behavior. More parental monitoring was associated with less delinquency overall, as well as less drinking in boys only. Eating family dinners together was associated with less aggression overall, as well as less delinquency in youth from single-parent families and in girls. Unsupervised time at home alone was associated with more smoking for girls only. Implications for prevention interventions are discussed. Research and theory on the etiology of problem behavior in childhood and adolescence often focus on the role of the family in the development of antisocial behavior (

“…Other authors have also reported a greater impact of parental separation on boys, particularly as regards overall behavior, developmental skills and academic achievements. [13][14][15]16,22 It is well known that separated mothers, who in general have legal child custody, usually suffer a greater fall in their standard of living; the reports by Felder-Puig et al, 21 Norton & Glick, 23 and Duncan et al 24 well. 16,25,26 In contrast, other investigators suggest that remarriage is a risk factor for child behavior disorders.…”

Objective: To assess psychosocial quality of life in school-age children of divorced parents. Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the pediatric outpatient clinic of a community hospital. Children 5 to 12 years old from married families and divorced families were included. Child quality of life was assessed through maternal reports using a Child Health Questionnaire -Parent Form 50. A multiple linear regression model was constructed including clinically relevant variables significant on univariate analysis (beta coefficient and 95%CI).Results: Three hundred and thirty families were invited to participate and 313 completed the questionnaire. Univariate analysis showed that quality of life was significantly associated with parental separation, child sex, time spent with the father, standard of living and maternal education. In a multiple linear regression model, quality of life scores decreased in boys -4.5 (-6.8 to -2.3) and increased for time spent with the father 0.09 (0.01 to 0.2). In divorced families, multiple linear regression showed that quality of life scores increased when parents had separated by mutual agreement 6.1 (2.7 to 9.4), when the mother had university level education 5.9 (1.7 to 10.1) and for each year elapsed since separation 0.6 (0.2 to 1.1), whereas scores decreased in boys -5.4 (-9.5 to -1.3) and for each one-year increment of maternal age -0.4 (-0.7 to -0.05). Conclusion:Children's psychosocial quality of life was affected by divorce. The Child Health Questionnaire can be useful to detect a decline in the psychosocial quality of life.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2009;85(6):547-552: Argentina, child, health status, health-related quality of life, family relations, Child Health Questionnaire. Original article IntroductionDivorce is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society, significantly affecting all parties involved, particularly children. 1 Studies in the USA and in Europe have estimated that 30 to 50% of children will suffer consequences from a divorce 1-3 ; similar rates have been reported in Argentina. 4 Parental separation is often the first major change in a child's life. This distressing event drastically alters the family's future, bringing a sense of loss due to disruption in normal routines as well as absence of daily contact with both parents. [5][6][7] Developmental and behavioral disorders, both prior to divorce and in particular during the first years following the event, have been reported.

[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] We are aware that psychosocial health is a complex construct, multidimensional in nature but often reduced by researchers to a single structure for operational purposes which are affected by a number of factors such as parental characteristics, style of child rearing, community values, child adaptability, etc.Generic health-related quality of lif...
