- ItemBeyond the outcomes: generic change indicators in a video-feedback intervention with a depressed mother and her baby: a single case study(SPR ITALIA, 2022) Sieverson, Catalina; Olhaberry, Marcia; Duarte, Javiera; Moran, Javier; Costa, Stefanella; Jose Leon, M.; Valenzuela, Sofia; Leyton, Fanny; Honorato, Carolina; Muzard, AntoniaChild and dyadic psychotherapy have been scarcely investigated from the psychotherapy process research perspective. Thus, content and mechanisms related to therapeutic change have been overlooked by research.
- ItemFamily dynamics. An exploration of parental sensitivity and depressive symptoms among mothers and fathers of toddlers(SPR ITALIA, 2021) Muzard, Antonia; Olhaberry, Marcia; Immel, Nina; Moran Kneer, JavierIn studies of maternal sensitivity, the influence of mothers' depressive symptomatology has been consistently highlighted. Additionally, the relevance of both maternal and paternal sensitive responses to children's development has been recognized. However, literature regarding the dynamics of the mother-father-tod-dler triad is scarce. This is particularly true when understanding how parental sensitivity may be bidirectionally shaped by both parents' (i.e., mothers' and fathers' depressive symptomatology) and children's characteristics (i.e., age). Hence, the present study aims to describe and analyse the associations between parental depression, paternal sensitivity and children's socioemotional difficulties and age with mothers' sensitive responses to highlight the appropriateness of considering fathers' depressive symptoms and sensitivity to better understand the impact of maternal depressive symptomatology on mothers' sensitivity. The participants included 80 Chilean mother-father-child triads in which all children were between 1 and 3 years of age and presented some degree of socioemotional difficulty. The results reveal no differences in maternal and paternal sensitivity or higher depressive symptomatology in mothers than in fathers. Additionally, while mothers' depression was significantly associated with their sensitivity, this was not the case for fathers. Paternal depressive symptomatology was associated with the mother's depression. Finally, paternal sensitivity emerged as a mediator between maternal depressive symptoms and sensitivity. This result calls attention to the use of paternal variables to understand how maternal depression impacts mothers' sensitivity and to thus develop appropriate interventions that expand the scope of such impacts from the dyad to the triad.
- ItemMaternal Stress and Family Constitution: Comparative Study on Chilean, Single-Mother and Nuclear, Low-Income Families(PONTIFICA UNIV JAVERIANA, FAC PSYCH, 2012) Olhaberry, Marcia; Farkas, ChamarritaStudies on maternal stress during child raising have taken into consideration contextual variables to explain it. The socioeconomic level, as well as the family constitution have been relevant variables, associating single-parenting in low-income families with greater levels of maternal stress. Maternal stress levels in Chilean, nuclear and single-mother low income families are studied, considering stress in various dimensions, associated to the maternal role, to the mother-child interaction and to the difficulties the mother perceives in the child. 169 Dyads are studied, 80 of them of single-mother families and the other 89 of nuclear families, with children between the ages of 4 to 15 months. Maternal stress levels were measured with the Parental Stress Index, abbreviated version, developed by R. Abidin (1995). The results show significantly higher stress levels in mothers of single-parent families on stress associated to the maternal role, to the perception of a difficult child, and to total stress.
- ItemThe impact of COVID-19 on experiences of pregnancy and/or early parenting in Chile(WILEY, 2021) Olhaberry, Marcia; Sieverson, Catalina; Franco, Pamela; Romero, Macarena; Tagle, Trinidad; Iribarren, Daniela; Honorato, Carolina; Muzard, AntoniaThe unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has impacted families' mental health around the globe. In June 2020, 1163 parents of high (43%), middle (47%), and low socioeconomic status (SES) (10%) participated in an online survey developed to explore how daily life changes and restrictions that came with COVID-19 affected the experiences of pregnancy and/or parenting children under the age of 5 in Chile. The survey's design had an exploratory and descriptive scope, with a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions. With the aim of exploring differences before and after COVID-19, two time periods were established, and the 47-item questionnaire covered participants' sociodemographic information, support networks, health concerns, mood changes, self-regulation, adult and children's perceived well-being, parental competencies and parents' perceptions of the unborn baby and/or their children's needs. The results relative to retrospective reporting of pre-pandemic levels, showed an increase in children's crying and tantrums as well as in parental irritability and sadness. Additionally, decreases in the ability to calm down and sleep quality in both parents and children were identified. Finally, at a qualitative level, COVID-19 stands out both as an opportunity to get to know their children better and as a stressor related to parental burn-out and discomfort.
- ItemTHE TRIANGLE FATHER-MOTHER-INFANT: EVALUATION OF FAMILY ALLIANCES THROUGH THE LAUSANNE TRIALOGUE PLAY, ADHERENCE AND LEVELS OF PARENTAL DEPRESSION(RAFFLES CONNECT PTE LTD, 2013) Olhaberry, Marcia; Pia Santelices, Maria; Schwinn, Lisa; Cierpka, ManfredIn the last decade a new dimension of analysis of the early bonds has risen changing the focus from the dyad to the triad, including the father in the family setting of the intersubjectivity. We performed a cross-sectional study of 10 Chilean families with their first child, aged between 3 and 11 months. Triadic family functioning and family alliances are evaluated, as well as security or insecurity in the pattern of parental attachment and levels of depressive symptoms. The results show a higher frequency of secure bonds in mothers and fathers of families that show cooperative alliances, as well as lower levels of parental depressive symptoms in this group.
