| Core Tip |
This study investigates the impact of persistent postpartum depression (PPD) on infant developmental behavior and maternal self-efficacy. Utilizing the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition, we assessed 60 mother-infant dyads over a five-year period. Our findings reveal that persistent PPD significantly negatively impacts infant developmental outcomes, with maternal self-efficacy partially mediating this relationship. These insights underscore the necessity for targeted interventions addressing both depressive symptoms and enhancement of maternal self-efficacy to foster healthy infant development. This study enriches the understanding of developmental psychopathology and highlights potential targets for early intervention strategies. |
