“…These stress factors can lead to the invasion of mothers by anxieties of death and abandonment, as well as traumatic images, echoing the lack of representations of the still unknown child and could favor the development of PTSD [30]. Gray et al [31] reported that the stress experienced by mothers of premature babies was significantly correlated with the birth weight at birth, the indication of home oxygen therapy, the possible use of surgical treatment for retinopathy premature bleeding and possible intraventricular hemorrhage. All these variables are actually evaluated by the PERI.…”

Preterm delivery is a particularly challenging experience that can be experienced by mothers as a traumatic event, causing dissociative reactions and authentic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In this work, we proposed to study the prevalence of perinatal dissociation and PTSD in mothers of preterm babies compared to a control group of mothers of term babies and to identify factors that may contribute to the occurrence of perinatal dissociation and PTSD following premature childbirth. We conducted a cross-sectional and comparative study, including 97 mothers of premature babies and 80 controls. We used the Perinatal Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire to screen for PTSD, the peri-traumatic dissociation questionnaire to measure the level of perinatal dissociation, and the Perinatal Risk Inventory to assess perinatal risk. Compared to mothers of term infants, mothers of preterm infants had significantly higher rates of peri-traumatic dissociation and PTSD. Our results are consistent with previous studies, and add additional credit to the traumatic nature of preterm delivery. Setting up specific support modalities seems essential in the case of premature births in order to ensure a better quality of mother-child interactions and optimal development of the child.

“…Other studies drew attention to the importance and influence of perinatal risk factors (medical complications during birth, hypoxia, hypertension, white matter abnormalities) in preterm children, particularly regarding their cognitive and language development (17,41,46,69). Similarly, the influence of contextual risk factors (socioeconomic status, educational level and parental interactive style, mother-child attachment and type of attachment, parental and maternal emotional adjustment and mental health, negative maternal anxiety and displayed affect, support networks, early parenthood, expectations and characteristics of the proposed task) on the cognitive, communicative-linguistic, and especially emotional development, of preterm children has also been highlighted (17,39,45,49,66,68,69,71,72,74,75). The majority of these studies investigated the influence of sociocultural factors as covariables on the psychological development of preterm children.…”

“…No significant differences were found at 6 and 12 months in distress regarding limitations, approach, and duration of orientation or sooth ability. Also, Gray et al (69) analyzed child temperament during the first year of life comparing preterm and full-term children. The temperament of the preterm infants was similar to the term infants (69).…”

Objective -The aim of this paper is to describe the psychological development in three areas (cognitive, communicative-linguistic and social-emotional domains) of very preterm children and/or low birth weight, aged from 0 to 6 years, to discover if problems exist and if these difficulties remain, decrease or increase over time, up to 6 years of age, through of review of studies done in this population. Materials and methods -Seven databases were searched. The search yielded 975 studies and those related to cognitive, communicative-linguistic and social-emotional development in children without physical problems, ranging in age from birth to 6 years, gestational age less than 32 weeks and/or birth-weight less than 2499 grams were analyzed. Most of the 47 studies analyzed were conducted after 2005, focused on children aged 3-5 years, and compared preterm and full-term infants. ResultsThe studies agree that preterm children differ in many developmental domains but there is no consensus on others. Several studies found a close association between the three different areas analyzed. Conclusion -Early intervention of preterm and/or low birth weight children is the most important way to prevent and/or reduce academic, communicative and social-emotional (anxiety/depression) problems, and improve long-term adaptation to the environment, self-regulation, communication skills, social competence and academic performance in general.

“…O IBQ-R fornece uma medida ao enfatizar as capacidades reativas e regulatórias da criança, porém não identifica seus limiares (Gartstein & Rothbart, 2003), no entanto, variações normais no temperamento infantil estão intimamente relacionadas ao estresse parental e ansiedade nas mães (Britton, 2011;Gray, Edwards, O'Callaghan & Cuskelly, 2011), uma vez que o comportamento materno atua como regulador externo ao comportamento da criança, e fortalece o processo de autorregulação no desenvolvimento (Bernier, Whipple & Carlson 2010;Sameroff, 2009).…”

Todas responderam ao Questionário sobre o Comportamento Infantil -Revisado (IBQ-R) e seus dados foram analisados a partir de estatística descritiva. O resultado principal foram os altos escores em controle com esforço, que permite inferir a possibilidade de afirmar que, no geral, o temperamento apresentado pelas crianças residentes na instituição é descrito como do tipo fácil. Concluiu-se que as formas de desenvolvimento de crianças que passam o primeiro ano de vida acompanhadas das mães dentro do cárcere são de extrema importância na formação do bebê, pois os cuidados proporcionados pela díade mãe-bebê são um dos fatores fundamentais para o desenvolvimento infantil e do temperamento. Palavras-chave: Temperamento; Bebês; Cárcere. Temperament of Babies Residing in the Prison AbstractThis study evaluated the temperament of infants who were under maternal care in the context of jail. Six mothers participated in the research, one of them, a mother of twins. All of them answered the Questionnaire on Child Behavior -Revised (IBQ-R) and their data were analyzed from descriptive statistics. The main result was the high scores on effortful control, which allows to infer the possibility of affirming that in general the temperament presented by the children residing in the institution is described as an easy one. It was concluded that the development of children who spend their first year of life with the mothers inside the jail is extremely important in the formation of the baby, since the care provided by the mother-infant is one of the fundamental factors for the development of children and of temperament.
