“…The STAI is comprised of 40 items, 20 items allocated to each of the S-Anxiety and T-Anxiety subscales. Since we aimed to capture the general state of anxiety of the parent, we used the more stable Trait Anxiety Scale in the current study, which assesses the anxiety level of the parent as a personal characteristic [28]. Reported T-Anxiety scores > 52 indicated clinically significant anxiety disorders and scores between 48 to 52 indicating mild or subclinical disorders; T-Anxiety < 48 the probability of any clinically significant disorder is very low [44].…”

“…Mothers of preterm children reported greater levels of solicitous behavior when their child was in pain, although maternal presence during prolonged/tonic heat pain stimuli was associated with higher pain thresholds in preterm children [26]. Parents of children born prematurely may show higher levels of stress and anxiety when compared to parents of full-term children [28], suggesting that emotional factors may also moderate the relationship between child pain responses and parental psychosocial aspects. In summary, painful experiences have biological, psychological and social parameters [10], which are relevant when examining pain expression.…”

Children born very preterm display altered pain thresholds. Little is known about neonatal clinical and psychosocial factors associated with their later pain perception. OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine whether the number of neonatal invasive procedures, adjusted for other clinical and psychosocial factors, was associated with self-ratings of pain during a blood collection procedure in children born very preterm at school age. METHODS 56 children born very preterm (24–32 weeks gestational age) at age 7.5 years, followed longitudinally from birth, and free of major neurodevelopmental impairments, underwent a blood collection by venipuncture. The children’s pain was self-reported using the Coloured Analog Scale and Facial Affective Scale. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Pain exposure (number of invasive procedures) and clinical factors from birth to term-equivalent age were obtained prospectively. Multiple linear regression was used to predict children’s pain self-ratings from neonatal pain exposure after adjusting for neonatal clinical and concurrent psychosocial factors. RESULTS Greater number of neonatal invasive procedures and higher parent trait-anxiety were associated with higher pain intensity ratings during venipuncture at age 7.5 years. Fewer surgeries and lower concurrent child externalizing behaviors were associated with higher pain intensity. CONCLUSION In very preterm children, exposure to neonatal pain was related to altered pain self-ratings at school age, independent of other neonatal factors. Neonatal surgeries and concurrent psychosocial factors were also associated with pain ratings.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of parenting stress: the concept, structure, and factors that influence its emergence. The analysis of foreign studies revealed 3 main groups of factors of parenting stress in mothers of early- and preschool- aged children: child’s characteristics, personality characteristics and mother’s socio-demographic characteristics, socio-psychological factors. The study showed that parenting stress in this group of mothers interplays with the temperament of the child, his health and age. As personal characteristics are concerned, the closest relations were found with the neuroticism of the mother and her assessment of self-efficacy. The review also revealed the effect of depression and psychopathology on maternal personality and constructive coping strategies which help to reduce parenting stress. The experience of neglect and abuse in childhood, a low level of marriage satisfaction and social support contribute to increased parenting stress of mothers having children of early and preschool age
