[Unwanted pregnancy as a cause of child development disorders?].

Relationships between unwanted pregnancies and behavioural disturbances in the infant were analyzed in 6117 pregnancies examined within a prospective multicenter collaborative study on pregnancy and child development. Prior to analyzing their consequences, correlates and causes of undesired pregnancy liable to operate as confounding factors by exerting direct influences on disturbances in the fetus or newborn were identified. This was achieved by stratification of the total group according to variables of obstetric history relevant to desire of pregnancy. Although not only social factors but also psychoneurotic behaviour was found to be partly responsible for rejection of pregnancy, it could be demonstrated that none of these factors unfavourably influenced physical health or psychomotor development of the infant, but merely seemed to show a few associations with the infant's aggressive or regressive tendencies at the age of 18 or 36 months.

Marital disharmony four and a half years post partum. Effects on parent-child relationships and child development.

This longitudinal study of primiparous women concerns factors related to the quality of the marital relationship 4 1/2 years after the birth of the first child. Information was independently collected from the women, their husbands and children. A poor relationship to the partner and impaired mental health in the women post partum were associated with marital disharmony at follow-up. In disharmonious marriages more often than in others parents were estimated to have a rejecting attitude towards their child and the child to have a rejecting attitude towards its parents. Further, in these marriages poor parental relationships of boys were more common than those of girls and socially immature boys as compared to socially immature girls overrepresented.

Parental work patterns in alternative families: influence on child development.

The increasing return to work by mothers of young children was documented for matching samples of mothers in families representing traditional marriages, single-mother units, social-contract relationships, and communal living groups. No evidence was found of negative effects on children's social, emotional, and cognitive development attributable to maternal absence due to employment.

Mother-child development elective: a formal educational maternity leave.

Policies for maternity and parenting leave in physician training programs are often lacking or inadequate. A structured elective in mother-child development has been developed by the University of Kentucky Department of Family Practice Residency Program in an attempt to provide a practical alternative for the resident-in-training who is a new parent. The course provides for the integration of personal and professional activities into an educationally beneficial experience. The new course meets the requirements of both the American Board of Family Practice and the Residency Review Committee. The first participants in the elective course have been extremely positive about its merit.
