“Equally, but in our own way” : First-time parents’ prenatal expectations of coparenting
2022
This study examined the expectations of expectant first-time parents on coparenting in a Finnish two-parent family. Thirty expectant couples were individually interviewed (N = 60) during the third trimester of pregnancy. The semi-structured interviews focused on participants’ expectations and hopes on future coparenting. Thematic analysis revealed that the expectant first-time mothers and fathers saw coparenting as multidimensional. They talked about coparenting in terms of 1) division of labour issues, 2) management of family dynamics, 3) childrearing agreement, 4) coparental support, and 5) learning and developing. Thus, the expectant couples hoped for a coparenting relationship in which …
Perinatal Parenting Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Outcomes in First-Time Mothers and Fathers: A 3- to 6-Months Postpartum Follow-Up Study
2016
Objective: Although there is an established link between parenting stress, postnatal depression, and anxiety, no study has yet investigated this link in first-time parental couples. The specific aims of this study were 1) to investigate whether there were any differences between first-time fathers’ and mothers’ postnatal parenting stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms and to see their evolution between three and 6 months after their child’s birth; and 2) to explore how each parent’s parenting stress and anxiety levels and the anxiety levels and depressive symptoms of their partners contributed to parental postnatal depression. Method: The sample included 362 parents (181 couples; mothers…
Changes in emotions and personal goals in primiparous pregnant women during group intervention for fear of childbirth
2018
The changes in emotions, subjective fear of childbirth, and personal goals were examined during a group intervention to treat fear of childbirth (FOC). The objective was to gain a more detailed understanding of the changes occurring during the group intervention of FOC. The changes in emotions, subjective FOC, and personal goals were studied in primiparous pregnant women with severe FOC participating in a group intervention (n = 105). The group intervention contained six sessions during pregnancy and one after childbirth. At every session, the participants filled in a questionnaire regarding their experiences of current positive and negative emotions and the subjective FOC. The participants…
Análisis de la ley de protección a la maternidad desde la perspectiva de género
2010
La Ley 6/2009 de 20 de junio de la Generalitat de Protección a la Maternidad representa un retroceso en el avance hacia la plena igualdad en ambos sexos, y reproduce cuantos estereotipos de género existen alrededor del nacimiento y crianza de las/os hijas/os. No es sencilla la tarea de elaborar propuestas y políticas sociales exentas de estos rasgos, debido a la base cultural que representan, pero no por ello, se deben de dejar pasar por alto. El análisis de dicha ley, desarrollado a continuación, se realiza con perspectiva de género y desde el trabajo social, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de las familias y los recursos existentes. The Law 6 / 2009 of June 20 published by the Generalit…

Relaciones de parentesco en las nuevas familias: disociación entre maternidad/paternidad biológica, genética y social
2015
Se describen y analizan las relaciones de parentesco en las familias monoparentales, homoparentales, tardías o de edad avanzada, con embarazos múltiples, reconstituidas, adoptivas y las que recurren a las técnicas de reproducción asistida. En estas familias se puede producir una disociación entre relaciones conyugales y relaciones filiales; entre sexualidad y reproducción; entre pareja conyugal, pareja parental y pareja progenitora; y la creación de lazos de filiación independientemente de tener una relación de pareja. Asimismo, frente a la biparentalidad y heteroparentalidad, se pueden establecer relaciones de monoparentalidad, homoparentalidad, coparentalidad y pluriparentalidad. Estas fa…
Associations of Work-Family Conflict with Family-Specific, Work-Specific, and Well-Being-Related Variables in a Sample of Polish and Ukrainian Adults…
2022
The conflict between work and family demands increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to changes in lifestyle related to the lockdown. This study examines the associations between work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) with work-specific, family-specific, and well-being-related variables during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results may be used in practice to improve the well-being of employees by adjusting home-based work and family areas of life to dynamic changes during the pandemic. The sample of 736 adults from Poland (53.26%) and Ukraine (46.74%), aged between 19 and 72 (M = 39.40; SD = 10.80), participated in the study. The cross-sectional study wa…
Paternal and Maternal Transition to Parenthood: The Risk of Postpartum Depression and Parenting Stress
2015
Transition to parenthood represents an important life event increasing vulnerability to psychological disorders. Postpartum depression and parenting distress are the most common psychological disturbances and a growing scientific evidence suggests that both mothers and fathers are involved in this developmental crisis. This paper aims to explore maternal and paternal experience of transition to parenthood in terms of parenting distress and risk of postpartum depression. Seventy-five couples of first-time parents were invited to compile the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form in the first month of children life. Study sample reported very high level…
Parenting Stress, Mental Health, Dyadic Adjustment: A Structural Equation Model
2017
Objective: In the 1st year of the post-partum period, parenting stress, mental health, and dyadic adjustment are important for the wellbeing of both parents and the child. However, there are few studies that analyze the relationship among these three dimensions. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between parenting stress, mental health (depressive and anxiety symptoms), and dyadic adjustment among first-time parents. Method: We studied 268 parents (134 couples) of healthy babies. At 12 months post-partum, both parents filled out, in a counterbalanced order, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Invent…
