Maternal perception of infant’s intersubjectivity: a questionnaire
Carrulo, Jorge; Justo, João M. R. M.; Figueiredo, BárbaraIntroduction: Intersubjectivity is a fundamental dimension of the mother–infant relationship. Objective: Design of a questionnaire to assess maternal perception of the infant’s intersubjectivity. Design: After running a focus group with mothers of infants within their first year of life, items related to maternal perception of the infant’s intersubjectivity were generated. These items were applied to a sample o...
Inflammatory biomarkers and perinatal depression: A systematic review
Silva-Fernandes, Anabela; Marques, Margarida; Caparros-Gonzalez, Rafael; Fransson, Emma; Mesquita, Ana; Figueiredo, Bárbara; Skalkidou, AlkistisBackground Approximately 10 to 20% of pregnant women worldwide experience perinatal depression (PND), a depressive episode with onset during pregnancy or after childbirth. We performed a systematic review to identify, summarize and discuss studies on inflammatory biomarkers described in relation to PND. Method Inclusion criteria defined the selection of observational studies written in English, French, Spanish ...
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...
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...

Qiu, Xia; Wu, Yin; Sun, Ying; Levis, Brooke; Tian, Jizhou; Boruff, Jill T.; Cuijpers, Pim; Ioannidis, John P. A.; Markham, Sarah; Ziegelstein, Roy C.Item 10 of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is intended to assess thoughts of intentional self-harm but may also elicit concerns about accidental self-harm. It does not specifically address suicide ideation but, nonetheless, is sometimes used as an indicator of suicidality. The 9-item version of the EPDS (EPDS-9), which omits item 10, is sometimes used in research due to concern about positive en...
Measures of infant self-regulation during the first year of life: a systematic ...
Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Figueiredo, BárbaraThis study aimed to systematically review the measures used to assess infant self-regulation during the first 12 months of life. This systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement protocol. From 235 selected papers, 79 provided information on behavioural and physiological measures to assess infant selfregulation during the first 12 ...

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...
Maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant sleep problems: the role of in...
Dias, Cláudia Alexandra Castro; Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Figueiredo, BárbaraObjectives: We aimed to analyze whether (1) infant temperament mediates the impact of maternal prenatal depressive symptoms on infant sleep problems and (2) the mediation role of infant temperament was moderated by the infant’s sex. Methods: The sample was comprised of 172 mother-infant dyads. Mothers completed self-reported measures of prenatal and postnatal depressive symptoms, infant temperament (negative af...
Positive coparenting previous to the COVID-19 pandemic can buffer regulatory pr...
Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Figueiredo, BárbaraCoparenting can be a development-enhancing or risk-promoting environment for infant regulatory capacity, mainly in the presence of adversity. This study aimed to analyze the association between positive and negative coparenting previous to the COVID-19 pandemic and infant regulatory capacity in the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic, an adverse condition. A sample of 71 first-born infants and their mothers and f...
