ABSTRACT The objective was to investigate whether perinatal maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms predicted child attention and executive function (EF). Mothers (N = 614) reported pregnancy and three-months postnatal anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attention and EF were measured at two-years-of-age. Covariates were demographics, alcohol use, mood disorder history, and pregnancy factors. Higher prenatal anxiety, b(SE) =.020(.005), p<.001, and postnatal depressive symptoms, b(SE) =.009(.004), p=.04, predicted poorer child attention. A prenatal-by-postnatal depressive symptom interaction emerged, b(SE) = −.005(.003), p=.04: When pregnancy depressive symptoms were low, higher postnatal symptoms predicted poorer attention. No distress variables predicted EF, p’s>.22. Perinatal distress timing, kind, and change were important for child attention.

围产期孕产妇焦虑和抑郁症状与两岁儿童执行功能和注意力

摘要 目的是调查围产期母亲的焦虑和抑郁症状是否能预测儿童注意力和执行功能（EF）。母亲（N = 614）报告怀孕和产后三个月的焦虑和抑郁症状。在两岁时测量注意力和 EF。协变量是人口统计学、饮酒、情绪障碍病史和怀孕因素。较高的产前焦虑，b(SE) =.020(.005)，p<.001，而产后抑郁症状，b(SE) =.009(.004)，p=.04，预测儿童注意力较差。出现了产前-产后抑郁症状的相互作用，b(SE) = -.005(.003)，p=.04：当妊娠抑郁症状较低时，较高的产后症状预示着较差的注意力。没有遇险变量预测 EF，p>.22。围产期遇险时间、种类、
