The aim this study was explore association between prematurity postpartum-specific anxiety, relationship stress in NICU. Materials methods ( N = 237) aged 12 months completed an...
Abstract Objective Mothers of premature infants are more likely to develop anxiety during the first postpartum year than mothers term infants. However, commonly used measures were developed for general adult populations and may produce spurious, over-inflated scores when in a context. Although perinatal-specific tools such as Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale [PSAS] offer promising alternative form measurement, it is not clear whether measure performs similarly does The objective current...
Studies concerning the effect of a premature birth on maternal mental health suggest symptoms depression and anxiety are more prevalent in mothers infants compared to term infants.

Additionally, extremely (<28 weeks' gestation) relatively understudied. The aim this study was investigate relationship between early gestational age depression, with secondary...
Background: Theoretical models of addiction predict that an attentional bias toward substance-related cues plays a role in development and maintenance addictive behaviors, although empirical data testing these predictions are somewhat equivocal. This may part be consequence substantial variability methods used to operationalize bias.
