“…Post-birth, chronic illness may limit mothers physically, financially, emotionally or cognitively, meaning that they have fewer resources and are less available to care for their child 37. In addition, parents’ emotional responses to their illness can predict children’s outcomes more strongly than the severity or duration of the illness,29 indicating the importance of appropriate family support services when a mother is chronically unwell. We accounted for parental mental illness in this study but did not specifically examine the association of co-occurring parental chronic physical and mental illness on children’s outcomes.…”

“…As chronic illness is associated with poor mental health,29 30 and comorbid parent physical and mental illness is associated with poorer child outcomes,9 29 a dichotomous variable indicating diagnosis/no diagnosis of mental illness for mothers and fathers (separately) was also included as a covariate. Parent mental illness diagnoses over the entire study period (identified as records with a ICD-10-AM ‘F’ code) were assembled from the HMDS and EDDC in addition to public outpatient data from the Mental Health Information System.…”

BackgroundCurrently, there is mixed evidence regarding the effects on children when a parent is chronically ill. Research has also primarily been conducted with adolescent samples. This study investigated developmental vulnerabilities in young children of parents with chronic illness.MethodsThis study used linked administrative data. The study population included children born in Western Australia during 2003–2004 (n=19 071; mean age 5.5 years). The outcome measure was a score in the bottom 25% on any of the five developmental domains (physical, social, emotional, communicative and cognitive) of the Australian Early Development Census (2009 collection). Parental chronic illnesses were identified from hospital and cancer registry records, during the period from 1 year prior to the child’s birth and until the end of 2009.ResultsHigher odds of developmental vulnerabilities in physical, social, emotional and communication domains were observed for daughters of chronically ill mothers. Sons of chronically ill mothers had increased odds of language and cognitive difficulties. Risk level increased with each additional year of exposure to maternal chronic illness. Results also indicated increased odds of developmental vulnerabilities for children of mothers experiencing multiple compared with single chronic conditions; however, results were not statistically significant (all p>0.05). No association between fathers’ chronic illness and children’s developmental outcomes was found.ConclusionsMaternal chronic illness is associated with an increased risk of poor developmental outcomes for children, particularly daughters. Healthcare services have an important role to play in linking families into appropriate family-centred services to best support the needs of chronically ill mothers.

“…Some studies indicate an adverse impact including psychosocial problems (Bogosian, Moss‐Morris, & Hadwin, ), emotional immaturity, vulnerability (Razaz, Joseph, et al, ), social competences (Razaz, Nourian, Marrie, Boyce, & Tremlett, ), and an increased risk of mood or anxiety problems (Razaz, Tremlett, et al, ). A recent study using the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) to measure psychosocial development confirms the association between mental health problems of parents with MS and increased internalizing and externalizing symptoms affecting their children (Bogosian, Hadwin, Hankins, & Moss‐Morris, ). Other studies find no adverse association of parental MS with children's development outcomes (Razaz et al, ) and no difference in overall difficulties between children of parents with MS and the general community (Steck et al, ), and some studies have shown an increase in prosocial behavior (Pakenham & Cox, ) and an increased feeling of being more empathic and grown‐up than peers (Bogosian, Moss‐Morris, Bishop, & Hadwin, ).…”

BackgroundMultiple sclerosis is associated with an increased risk of developing physical, cognitive, and mental health problems. Current studies have demonstrated variating outcomes of parental multiple sclerosis mental health problems and their children's mental health development.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether maternal multiple sclerosis is associated with the mental health status of their child.MethodsData from the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) were merged with information from the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Registry. Two proxies, total difficulties score and prediction of any psychiatric diagnosis based on the strengths and difficulties questionnaire, were used to measure the mental health status of the children. The two groups were compared using Mann–Whitney and logistic regression analyses.ResultsFor the total difficulties score the control and exposed group consisted of respectively n = 42,016 and n = 40, and for the prediction of any psychiatric diagnosis respectively n = 16,829 and n = 17. We found no statistically significant association between maternal multiple sclerosis and mental health status on neither of the proxies.ConclusionMaternal multiple sclerosis did not show any association with the mental health status of their children at age eleven. On the contrary, other studies conclude that there is an association between maternal multiple sclerosis and the child's mental health status, one especially mediated by the maternal mental health status.

Barn av MS-pasienter har lavere yrkesdeltakelse og økt behov for trygdeytelser (8).…”
