“…However, when family, child, and maternal factors were controlled, the beneficial effect of the mother's employment was no longer significant. This finding is consistent with those of other studies with low-income and/or single-parent families (Hall et al, 1991;Kinard & Reinherz, 1986;Kurtz & Derevensky, 1994;Pett et al, 1994). Thus, mothers' employment in singleparent families may result in more positive child outcomes not because of the employment itself but because of the greater financial resources and improved feelings of self-worth (Hall et al, 1991) the mothers' employment usually brings.…”

“…Alessandri (1992) found that girls with single mothers who were employed full-time had higher academic achievement than girls with nonemployed single mothers. However, Hall, Gurley, Sachs, and Kryscio (1991) found no differences between employed and nonemployed low-income single mothers in their perceptions of their preschool child's behavior. These findings remained after statistically controlling for income, race, social desirability, level of stress, coping, and parenting attitudes.…”

“…Among the factors responsible for this distress, depression and stress in carrying out the role of parent have been studied in mothers with infants (Thome, 1996;Hall and Farel, 1988;Hall et al, 1991). The distress experienced by the new mother can be characterised by various symptoms and in fact is a catch-all name for certain concepts that are possible to measure (Thome, 1996;Romito, 1990).…”

Objective: This secondary analysis examined breastfeeding initiation rates and factors related to initiation in a sample of multiparous women with a history of a prior preterm birth. Subjects and Methods: Data for a subsample of women (n = 130) were derived from a randomized clinical trial testing a home visit intervention to improve birth outcomes. The subsample included women who gave birth to an infant greater than 35 weeks of gestation. All participants received standard prenatal care. Intervention participants (n = 73) also received home visits by certified nurse-midwives. Visits were guided by protocols to improve factors associated with poor birth outcomes and maternal and infant health. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used, controlling for factors previously associated with breastfeeding. Results: Although 85% of women reported an intention to breastfeed, only 65% reported initiating breastfeeding at 48 hours postpartum. After controlling for race, income, marital status, smoking, and age, higher maternal education and lower pregravid body mass index were associated with higher rates of initiation (odds ratio [OR] = 1.30, p = 0.010 and OR = 0.94, p = 0.007, respectively). Lower levels of depressive symptoms (OR = 0.95, p = 0.039) and higher levels of prenatal stress (OR = 1.11, p = 0.042) increased the likelihood of initiating breastfeeding. No difference between groups emerged, although women in the intervention group with more home visit time were more likely to report breastfeeding ( p = 0.007). Conclusions: Modifiable risk factors were associated with rates of breastfeeding initiation. It may be possible to use protocols delivered via nurse-midwife home visits within a global intervention to increase breastfeeding initiation.
