Adjustment to Parenthood Transition: a Longitudinal Follow-up from Prenatal to Postpartum
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
This project aimed to explore the adjustment process of young fathers and mothers during the parenthood transition (from 6 weeks prenatal to 6 weeks postnatal).
Description
A total of 351 parents (200 females, 151 males) completed the same structured questionnaires twice before and after the birth of their children. Results showed that (a) The stress of “being a parent” did impact on the young parents’ personal health and marital adjustment, and the relationships are robust across time and gender.
(b) Both internal (conjugal congruence) and external (social support) resources of the marital system affected the adjustment of “being a parent”. Conjugal congruence mainly affected marital satisfaction while social support mainly affected life satisfaction. Both kinds of resources showed stress buffering effects in the parenthood transition.

(c) After the child was born, mother’s social support significantly decreased. (d) At prenatal although mothers had more social support than fathers, they nonetheless suffered poorer mental health and lower marital satisfaction. In comparison, being a father did not entail too much stress.
At postnatal, mothers perceived higher stress, reported decreased social support, more psychological symptoms, lower marital and life satisfaction.
