Abstract

Introduction: While childrearing can enhance mothers' psychological well-being, parenting can also increase mental stress for mothers with young children, which is considered a risk factor for child maltreatment. A lack of social capital reportedly influences mothers' parenting, but few studies have investigated the effects of social capital on the perception of mental stress and well-being associated with childrearing among mothers with young children. Therefore, we investigated the effects of lower perceived neighborhood trust and support on higher mental stress and/or lower well-being associated with childrearing among Japanese mothers with children aged 2 to 3 years.

Methods: A total of 570 mothers with children (aged 2-3 years) in nursery school were invited to join the survey. The childrearing perspective scale for mothers (CPS-M97) was used to evaluate mothers' perceptions of mental stress and well-being associated with childrearing. Odds ratios (ORs) reflecting lower satisfaction/fulfillment scores (ie, well-being) and/or higher burdened/anxious scores (ie, mental stress) associated with perceived social capital levels were analyzed, after adjusting for confounding factors.

Results: The OR for lower satisfaction/fulfillment scores was significantly higher (OR = 1.77) for mothers with lower neighborhood trust. Significantly increased ORs for higher burdened/anxious scores were found in mothers with lower neighborhood trust (OR = 1.50) and support (OR = 1.49). The ORs for poor mental status, with lower satisfaction/fulfillment scores and higher burdened/anxious scores, were significantly increased in mothers with lower neighborhood trust (OR = 1.96) and lower neighborhood support (OR = 2.10).

Conclusions: Higher social capital was associated with higher psychological well-being and/or lower mental stress in Japanese childrearing mothers. These results suggest that enhancing social capital is necessary to facilitate successful parenting that contributes to the prevention of child maltreatment.

邻里信任和支持对日本幼儿母亲育儿压力的影响》(The Effects of Neighborhood Trust and Support on Parenting Stress of Mothers With Young Children in Japan)。
简介养育子女可以提高母亲的心理健康水平,但养育子女也会增加幼儿母亲的心理压力,这被认为是虐待儿童的一个风险因素。据报道,社会资本的缺乏会影响母亲的养育子女行为,但很少有研究调查社会资本对有幼儿的母亲的心理压力感知和与养育子女相关的幸福感的影响。因此,我们调查了有 2-3 岁孩子的日本母亲在育儿过程中,较低的邻里信任和支持感对较高的精神压力和/或较低的幸福感的影响:我们共邀请了 570 位有 2-3 岁幼儿的母亲参加调查。母亲育儿观点量表(CPS-M97)用于评估母亲对育儿相关的精神压力和幸福感的看法。在对混杂因素进行调整后,分析了反映与感知的社会资本水平相关的较低满意度/充实感得分(即幸福感)和/或较高负担/焦虑得分(即精神压力)的比值比(ORs):邻里信任度较低的母亲满意度/幸福感得分较低的 OR 值明显较高(OR = 1.77)。邻里信任度(OR = 1.50)和支持度(OR = 1.49)较低的母亲,其负担/焦虑得分较高的 OR 值显著增加。在邻里信任度较低(OR = 1.96)和邻里支持度较低(OR = 2.10)的母亲中,精神状态不佳(满意/充实得分较低、负担/焦虑得分较高)的ORs显著增加:结论:较高的社会资本与日本育儿母亲较高的心理健康和/或较低的精神压力有关。这些结果表明,提高社会资本是促进成功养育子女的必要条件,有助于预防虐待儿童。
