Parental Depression Affects 15 Million Kids - 0 views

  • Depressed pregnant women may be less likely to get prenatal care
  • Depressed moms may be less attentive or less able to respond in a healthy way to their babies' needs.
  • Parental depression has been linked to children's early signs of, or vulnerability to, having a more "difficult" temperament, including more negativity, less happiness, poorer social skills, more vulnerability to depression, more self blame, less self-worth, and a less effective response system to stress.

  • Older children and teens may experience stress from a depressed parent
  • "Early in life, we worry most that somehow the fundamental bond between the mother and father and the infant may be weakened because of depression
  • "A little later on, when children are older, parents are vitally important in providing structure, order, encouragement, support, helping with school, helping with friendships, and those processes tend to be disrupted when a parent is depressed,"
  • depression in fathers also has an impact on their children
  •  
    This article focuses on depression. Mothers who are depressed when they are pregnant have a hard time bonding with their children. This falls under the category of home environment and exposure.

Prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol - 0 views

  • Parental drug misuse can have an effect on the development of the foetus and long-term consequences for children. Some effects may be physical, but the most important ones will be on the developing mind and brain of the child. These effects may not be visible, and, in some cases, the impact on the child´s development and behaviour may not manifest for some years.
  • The effects on the unborn child include: chromosomal abnormalities; structural malformations (e.g. cleft palate); intrauterine growth retardation; functional impairment (e.g. deafness); behavioural abnormalities (e.g. hyperactivity); and learning difficulties.
  • a high proportion of newborn babies, especially those whose mother used heroin, will suffer withdrawal symptoms which may last up to several months and which will include tremors, high muscle tone, irritability, diarrhoea, vomiting and abnormal feeding and sleep patterns.

  • there is an increase in premature delivery, low birth weight and death around the time of delivery.
  • but small head size, intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity, stillbirths, heart defects, abnormal bone development and neonatal withdrawal syndrome have been noted. Some studies have reported learning disorders and attention deficit at three years of age
  • there is a risk of intrauterine growth retardation and premature delivery.
  • One long-term study found that the speech and memory performance among four-yearolds whose mothers had consumed cannabis daily or several times a week during pregnancy was affected significantly
  • abnormalities of growth, including low birth weight and small head circumferencecentral nervous system involvement andinclude small, widely-spaced eyes, flat midface, short, upturned nose, thin upper lip.
  • depressed immune function, strabismus, hearing loss, and abnormalities of heart, lungs and teeth.

    On this web page we see that Parents have a major effect on the development of their child before birth. When the parent makes choices to expose their unborn children to any form of drugs or alcohol there are high costs for their child. These costs do not end with childhood.

A focus of care for neonatal nursing: The relationship between neonatal nursing practic... - 0 views

  • A regional referral centre for NIC was chosen for the study. Sampling of nurses was both purposive and stratified in relation to grade and responsibility, via job description analysis. Nurses chosen for interview were qualified in speciality (QIS). QIS is defined by both Redshaw et al (1993) and by the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM 1996) as being nurses who have received post-basic training and hold a nationally recognised neonatal qualification. The majority (four out of seven) were 'F' grade junior sisters as their role was seen to have the most direct influence on the developmental outcomes of babies, through both direct clinical care and learner responsibility.

  • In 1934, nearly 700 reporters and photographers descended on the New Jersey town where Bruno Hauptmann was on trial for Kidnapping and murdering the baby of famous aviator Charles A. Lindbergh and author Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The trial judge allowed still photography, but was unprepared for the barrage of flashbulbs and the presence of a newsreel camera that was smuggled inside the court. Decrying the media circus that resulted, the ABA in 1937 called for prohibiting photography in its Canons of Professional and Judicial Ethics. At the same time the U.S. Congress amended the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to ban cameras and any form of broadcasting from federal courts. All but two states—Texas and Colorado—gradually adopted the ABA ban. Later, Texas permitted television cameras and it was a Texas criminal case that led to the next stage of development in this area of U.S. law.
