          Abstract

          Resumen: La identidad se construye en la infancia mediante la interacción entre el sujeto y el ambiente, y se va transformando a lo largo de la vida en función de las experiencias del individuo, las relaciones interpersonales y los discursos culturales predominantes. Históricamente, un constructo de repercusión fundamental en la generación de la identidad ha sido el concepto binario de género masculino/femenino, que suponía la asignación de roles sociales diferenciados a hombres y mujeres. En la mujer, la maternidad implica el nacimiento de una nueva identidad a menudo ligada a narrativas rígidas respecto a la “buena madre,” heredadas de los modelos de socialización tradicionales y patriarcales, que entran en conflicto con otros discursos de realización personal. Las dificultades para adecuar las propias decisiones a la narrativa de la “buena madre” generan síntomas de ansiedad, impotencia y frustración en las mujeres, y han propiciado un importante debate social con opiniones encontradas respecto a los modelos de crianza y cuidados de los hijos. En esta revisión, se propone una guía de exploración y abordaje terapéutico narrativo para ayudar a las mujeres que atendemos en la consulta a cuestionar los discursos sociales que les provocan malestar emocional y validar su toma de decisiones respecto a las distintas formas de crianza y maternidad.

          Abstract: Identity is built during childhood through the interaction of subjects with their environment and circumstances, and is subsequently modified during their lifetime depending on their different individual experiences, the interpersonal relationships they establish, and the predominant cultural discourse. Historically, we can define the binary concept of “gender”, male/female, as a fundamental factor of identity building that assigns very different social roles to different individuals depending on them being categorized as male or female. To women, maternity implies the birth of a new identity, which is traditionally linked to fairly strong pre-established cultural narratives about what a “good mother” is. This is, in turn, related to the traditional patterns of socialisation, which may spark a conflict against other cultural discourses centred around personal fulfilment. The difficulties that arise when trying to accommodate their self-decisions to the “good mother” narrative may generate anxiety symptoms, a sense of helplessness, and frustration among women. This struggle has propitiated and encouraged an important social debate with very opposing views about child rearing, nurturing, and care. In this revision paper, we propose a guide for exploration and management based on narrative therapy to help women we assist in our medical practice to question the social discourses that generate such emotional uneasiness and to validate their own decisions regarding the different approaches to child-bearing and rearing.

          Prenatal and postpartum depression in fathers and its association with maternal depression: a meta-analysis.

          It is well established that maternal prenatal and postpartum depression is prevalent and has negative personal, family, and child developmental outcomes. Paternal depression during this period may have similar characteristics, but data are based on an emerging and currently inconsistent literature. To describe point estimates and variability in rates of paternal prenatal and postpartum depression over time and its association with maternal depression. Studies that documented depression in fathers between the first trimester and the first postpartum year were identified through MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Google Scholar, dissertation abstracts, and reference lists for the period between January 1980 and October 2009. Studies that reported identified cases within the selected time frame were included, yielding a total of 43 studies involving 28 004 participants after duplicate reports and data were excluded. Information on rates of paternal and maternal depression, as well as reported paternal-maternal depressive correlations, was extracted independently by 2 raters. Effect sizes were calculated using logits, which were back-transformed and reported as proportions. Random-effects models of event rates were used because of significant heterogeneity. Moderator analyses included timing, measurement method, and study location. Study quality ratings were calculated and used for sensitivity analysis. Publication bias was evaluated with funnel plots and the Egger method. Substantial heterogeneity was observed among rates of paternal depression, with a meta-estimate of 10.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.5%-12.7%). Higher rates of depression were reported during the 3- to 6-month postpartum period (25.6%; 95% CI, 17.3%-36.1%). The correlation between paternal and maternal depression was positive and moderate in size (r = 0.308; 95% CI, 0.228-0.384). No evidence of significant publication bias was detected. Prenatal and postpartum depression was evident in about 10% of men in the reviewed studies and was relatively higher in the 3- to 6-month postpartum period. Paternal depression also showed a moderate positive correlation with maternal depression.

            The relationship between infant-feeding outcomes and postpartum depression: a qualitative systematic review.

            The negative health consequences of postpartum depression are well documented, as are the benefits of breastfeeding. Despite the detailed research related to these maternal and infant health outcomes, the relationship between maternal mood and breastfeeding remains equivocal. A qualitative systematic review was conducted to examine the relationship between postpartum depressive symptomatology and infant-feeding outcomes. We performed electronic searchers in Medline (1966-2007), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) (1982-2007), and Embase (1980-2007) by using specific key words. A hand search of selected specialist journals and reference lists of articles obtained was then conducted. Seventy-five articles were reviewed, of which 49 specifically provided data to be extracted related to postpartum depressive symptomatology and infant-feeding outcomes. Both authors independently extracted data including study design, participants (number and characteristics), and results. The results from this review suggest that women with depressive symptomatology in the early postpartum period may be at increased risk for negative infant-feeding outcomes including decreased breastfeeding duration, increased breastfeeding difficulties, and decreased levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy. There is also beginning evidence to suggest that depressed women may be less likely to initiate breastfeeding and do so exclusively. Depressive symptomatology in the postpartum period negatively influences infant-feeding outcomes. These findings have important clinical implications and support the need for early identification and treatment of women with depressive symptomatology. However, strategies to address help-seeking barriers are needed if women are to receive appropriate and timely treatment. Research to determine effective interventions to support depressed breastfeeding women is warranted.

              Reproduction at an advanced maternal age and maternal health.

              Mark Sauer (2015)
              Advanced age is a risk factor for female infertility, pregnancy loss, fetal anomalies, stillbirth, and obstetric complications. These concerns are based on centuries-old observations, yet women are delaying childbearing to pursue educational and career goals in greater numbers than ever before. As a result, reproductive medicine specialists are treating more patients with age-related infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, while obstetricians are faced with managing pregnancies often complicated by both age and comorbidities. The media portrayal of a youthful but older woman, able to schedule her reproductive needs and balance family and job, has fueled the myth that "you can have it all," rarely characterizing the perils inherent to advanced-age reproduction. Reproductive medicine specialists and obstetrician/gynecologists should promote more realistic views of the evidence-based realities of advanced maternal age pregnancy, including its high-risk nature and often compromised outcomes. Doctors should also actively educate both patients and the public that there is a real danger of childlessness if individuals choose to delay reproduction.
