HUBER, Marcia Olhaberry; VENEGAS, Marta Escobar y CONTRERAS, Camila Maluenda. Group Intervention for Imprisoned Mother-Infant Dyads: Effects on Mother's Depression and on Children's Development. CES Psicol [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.3, pp.222-238. Epub 13-Sep-2021. ISSN 2011-3080. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.13.3.13.
Women may frequently present depressive symptomatology during the peripartum period, it impacts negatively child development and may show an increase when motherhood takes place in prison contexts. Furthermore, the negative effects of maternal depression on children’s development have been demonstrated by research findings.
Aim:
To evaluate the effect of two group interventions for pregnant women and mother-infant dyads with children under 2 years of age, on maternal depressive symptomatology and on the children’s development.
Method:
The sample considered 60 incarcerated women from Chilean prisons all over the country; 30 pregnant women and 30 mothers with children under 2 years of age. Multilevel regression analysis for repeated measures were performed for maternal symptomatology (BDI) in both groups and for children’s development (ASQ-SE) in the dyad’s group.
Results:
It was observed Significant reductions in the depressive symptomatology frequencies in the pregnant women (b=-3.60, t(29)=-2.66, p=.031) and in the mothers who participated in the dyad’s intervention group (b=-0.1499, t(93)=-5.3, p=<.001), as well as a reduction in child social-emotional development difficulties (b=-15.26, t(18)=-4.107, p=.001).
Conclusion:
The discussion section addresses the relevance of providing psychological support to imprisoned mother/child dyads, to treat maternal depression and to promote a healthy development of the children who grow up in prison contexts.
