History of mental health problems moderates the association between partner sup...
Tavares, Daniela; Fidalgo, Daniela; Sousa, Matilde; Morais, Ana; Jongenelen, Inês; Lamela, Diogo; Alves, Stephanie; Costa, Raquel; Pinto, Tiago MiguelBackground: Partner support during childbirth is an important protective factor for women's perinatal mental health. However, its protective role in women experiencing vulnerabilities is largely unknown, namely in those with history of mental health problems. Aim: This study analysed (1) the association between partner support during childbirth and depressive, anxiety, and childbirth-related post-traumatic stre...
Maternal gatekeeping and paternal self-efficacy and mental health: The mediatio...
Freitas, Margarida C.; Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Conde, AnaAlthough underexplored, maternal gatekeeping can negatively interfere in the experience of fatherhood, leading to negative family outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the mediation role of dyadic adjustment in the association between maternal gatekeeping and paternal self-efficacy and mental health. A sample of 142 fathers of children aged between 0 months and 10 years completed self-reported measures of mater...
Fetal heart rate variability and infant self-regulation: the impact of mother's...
Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Nogueira-Silva, Cristina; Figueiredo, BárbaraBackground: Foetal heart rate (FHR) variability is considered a marker of foetal neurobehavioral development associated with infant self-regulation and thus may be an early precursor of the adverse impact of mother’s prenatal depressive symptoms on infant self-regulation. Objective: This study analysed the mediator role of FHR variability in the association between mother’s prenatal depressive symptoms and infa...
EEG signatures during pregnancy and their role on parenting-related measures: s...
Braga, Patrícia Vilela; Amaoui, Sofia; Lamela, Diogo; Jongenelen, Inês; Costa, Raquel; Oliveira, Jorge; Pasion, Rita; Pinto, Tiago MiguelThis scoping review aims to map and synthesise the current research evidence targeting the electroencephalography (EEG) neural correlates during pregnancy and its association with parenting-related measures during pregnancy and postpartum period. Pregnancy is characterised by a wide range of biological changes associated with adaptation to parenthood. A growing body of literature has examined the neural correla...
Neurophysiological markers of cardiac interoceptive processing in first-time ex...
Braga, Patrícia Vilela; Marshall, Amanda; Lamela, Diogo; Jongenelen, Inês; Rocha, Nuno Barbosa; Costa, Raquel; Pasion, Rita; Schütz-Bosbach, SimonePregnancy is a complex biological phenomenon where two distinct pathways may produce changes in interoception (ability to perceive and subjectively experience inner bodily states). First, pregnancy modifies the parental caregiving brain network, which includes key regions for interoceptive processing, particularly the insula. Second, pregnancy also changes the strength, frequency, and/or nature of interoceptive...
The role of interoceptive processing in prenatal depression and anxiety
Praça, Maiara Silva; Braga, Patrícia Vilela; Marshall, Amanda; Lamela, Diogo; Jongenelen, Inês; Rocha, Nuno Barbosa; Costa, RaquelPregnancy is a complex biological phenomenon that can modify several interoception domains (ability to perceive and subjectively experience inner bodily states). These changes in interoceptive processing may also play a role in the emergence of prenatal psychopathology, namely anxiety and depression. To examine the association between interoceptive processing and psychopathology (depression and anxiety) in firs...
Is lower fetal heart rate variability a susceptibility marker to the impact of ...
Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Figueiredo, BárbaraLower fetal heart rate variability (FHRV) may be a prenatal endophenotypic susceptibility marker and increase the impact of both positive and negative coparenting on infant regulatory capacity. This study analyzed the moderator role of FHRV in the association between positive and negative coparenting and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. The sample comprised 86 first-born infants and their mothers and fat...
Neurophysiological markers of cardiac interoceptive processing in expectant par...
Braga, Patrícia Vilela; Marshall, Amanda; Lamela, Diogo; Jongenelen, Inês; Rocha, Nuno Barbosa; Costa, Raquel; Pasion, Rita; Schütz-Bosbach, SimonePregnancy and parenthood are associated with functional and morphological brain changes. Specifically, the parental caregiving network encompasses key structures implicated in interoception, that is, the ability to perceive and subjectively experience inner bodily states. Interoceptive processing may be critical for successful caregiving, allowing parents to integrate perceived changes in their own bodily state...
Addressing the complex links between psychopathy and childhood maltreatment, em...
Moreira, Diana; Silva, Candy; Moreira, Patrícia; Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Costa, Raquel; Lamela, Diogo; Jongenelen, Inês; Pasion, RitaChildhood maltreatment is the strongest predictor of psychopathology and personality disorders across the lifespan and is strongly associated with a variety of psychological problems, namely, mood and anxiety disorders, behavioral and personality disorders, substance abuse, aggression, and self-harm. In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive picture of the interplay between different traits of psychopath...
Women's perinatal depression: Anhedonia-related symptoms have increased in the ...
Costa, Raquel; Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Mesquita, Ana; Motrico, Emma; Figueiredo, Bárbara; Conde, AnaBackground The prevalence of perinatal depression increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be due to changes in the profile of specific depressive symptoms. Aims To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the (1) prevalence and severity of specific depressive symptoms; and on the (2) prevalence of clinically significant symptoms of depression during pregnancy and postpartum. Methods Pregnant and...
