“…Participants respond on a 0–3 scale (0 = rarely or none of the time , or less than 1 day, and 3 = most or all of the time , or 5–7 days) to questions such as, “I felt that I could not shake off the blues even with help from my family or friends.” The possible range of scores is 0–60, with a score of 16 or more commonly indicating depression. The measure has demonstrated associations with perceived stress, PTB, and physiologic stress response (Christian, Franco, Glaser, & Iams, 2009; Gavin, Chae, Mustillo, & Kiefe, 2009; Yim et al, 2009) and had a correlation coefficient of .93 in the current study.…”

Objective This exploratory study examines the role of psychosocial–behavioral variables as predictors of elevated corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) at 14–20 weeks of gestation. Method One hundred and twenty women were enrolled into the study. Blood samples were collected at 14–20 weeks of pregnancy and assayed for CRH. Participants completed questionnaires that included the Perceived Stress Scale, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies (CES) Depression Scale, the Pregnancy-Specific Anxiety (PAS) Scale, the Norbeck Social Support Questionnaire, the Life Orientation Test, the Brief COPE scale, and questions regarding violence/abuse, and work, sleep, and nutritional patterns. Results Pregnant women with high CRH levels (15 pcg/ml and above) perceived their income to be inadequate, slept more hours at night, stood more hours during the day, and used the coping styles of disengagement or religion but not humor. Logistic regression identified three predictors for high CRH (accounting for 42.2% of the variance): perceived inadequacy of income and the use of “religion” and “disengagement” to cope with stress. Conclusions These results are the first known to identify coping style and perceived income inadequacy as predictors of high CRH. Women with perceived inadequacy of income had almost three times the odds for high CRH. Women who used religion or disengagement to cope with stress had 14 times and 7 times the odds for high CRH levels, respectively. Higher CRH levels are associated with preterm birth (PTB). Thus, it may be important to include maternal coping style and perceptions of income inadequacy in future investigations of CRH levels and PTB.

“…1,32,33 Rates of preterm birth vary by ethnicity, thus ethnicity was also included as a covariate. 34 Maternal MDD was tested as a possible mediator for any significant relationship between gestational age and psychiatric outcomes via a bootstrapping method which estimates standard errors of the direct and indirect effects for significance testing. 35 Current analyses utilized 5,000 bootstrap resamples to generate 95% confidence intervals with Mplus 7.0 statistical software.…”

Objective Preterm children are at greater risk for psychiatric disorders than their term-born peers including anxiety disorders and ADHD. Prior research has focused primarily on children born at early gestational ages. Less is known about the rate of psychiatric disorders among late preterm or early term children. Additionally, whether a history of maternal depression, also associated with prematurity, impacts the risk for psychiatric disorders remains underexplored. Method Preschoolers between ages 3 and 6 years (N=306) were recruited for a study examining preschool depression that included healthy and disruptive preschoolers. Preschoolers were placed in the following groups: Late preterm (34–36 weeks, n=39), early term (37–39 weeks, n=78) and full term (40–41 weeks, n=154). DSM-IV psychiatric disorders were assessed via the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment. Maternal history of psychiatric disorders was assessed using the Family Interview for Genetic Studies. Results Late preterm children had higher rates of any Axis I psychiatric diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] 3.18, CI 1.09–4.76) and of any anxiety disorder (OR 3.74, CI 1.59–8.78) than full term children after adjusting for gender, ethnicity, family income, and IQ. There were no differences in rates of psychiatric diagnoses between early term and full term children. A history of maternal depression mediated the relationship between late preterm birth and anxiety disorders in preschoolers. Conclusions Late preterm children were at increased risk for anxiety disorders at preschool age. A history of maternal depression mediated this association. Findings confirm the extension of the risk of psychiatric disorders associated with prematurity to the late preterm group, and suggest that maternal depression may play a key role in this risk trajectory.

“…Pre-pregnancy depression is significantly related to preterm births (OR 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.07) [122], and adolescent depression per se was significantly associated with an increased risk of miscarriages (AOR 2.25; 95% CI: 1.12 to 4.50) [123]. In a study by Seth et al [124], adolescents with high levels of psychological distress were reported to have high-risk behavior, relative to those with low levels of psychological distress.…”

The past decade has witnessed increasing global attention and political support for maternal, newborn and child health. Despite this increased attention, actual progress has been slow and sporadic: coverage of key maternal and newborn health interventions remains low and there are wide disparities in access to care, within and across countries. Strategies for improving maternal and newborn health are closely linked, and can be delivered most effectively through a continuum of care approach. While these interventions are largely known, there is little information on which interventions have a positive health impact for both women and newborns. This supplement identifies the interventions during the preconception, pregnancy, intrapartum and postnatal periods found to have a positive, synergistic effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes. These interventions are then grouped into packages of care for delivery at the community, health center or hospital levels.
