A number of studies to this day have examined the role of maternal childhood trauma in parenting styles, mental health, and child attachment patterns; however, there are limited data on parenting of mothers who were raised in institutional care (IC) and involved in the child welfare system. The current review focuses on maternal history of institutionalization and foster care placement and its impact on parenting and child development. Studies show that the history of maternal trauma such as maltreatment, which is often linked to an orphan status, can be transferred to children through maladaptive parenting strategies, evoking a cycle of cross-generational maltreatment. Mothers raised in institutions show an early sexual debut that is often resulting in unplanned pregnancies, and are lacking competence in taking care of their own children. Directions for future research involving mothers with a history of IC are discussed.

有儿童福利史的母亲：对母体创伤的跨代影响的简要文献综述

迄今为止，许多研究检查了母亲期儿童创伤在父母教养方式，心理健康和儿童依恋方式中的作用；但是，关于在机构照料​​（IC）中成长并参与儿童福利系统的母亲育儿的数据有限。当前的审查侧重于产妇入院和寄养的历史及其对育儿和儿童发展的影响。研究表明，通常与孤儿状态有关的母亲创伤（如虐待）的历史可以通过适应不良的育儿策略转移给儿童，从而引发跨代虐待的循环。在机构中抚养的母亲表现出早期性行为，这常常导致意外怀孕，并且缺乏照顾自己的孩子的能力。
