Child health and psychosocial wellness in the context of maternal role overload and depression.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine the variability of child health and psychosocial outcomes in the context of maternal role overload and maternal depression.

Background

Role overload, characterized as time-based role stress, is commonly linked to depression in mothers. However, it remains uncertain whether maternal role overload poses a risk for negative child health and wellness. Although maternal depression is a known risk factor for poor child health and psychosocial outcomes, the outcomes themselves often reveal variability.

Method

This study aimed to investigate the heterogeneity of child health and psychosocial outcomes using latent profile analyses. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine differences in profile memb
