On the assumption that existential questions may arise in the face of the transition to motherhood in the shadow of a global crisis, we sought to compare the levels of presence of meaning and search for meaning in life between two samples of new mothers: one recruited before the outbreak of COVID-19, and the other during the pandemic. In addition, we examined the associations between mother's marital satisfaction and perception of the infant on the one hand, and the two aspects of meaning in life on the other, investigating whether these variables mediate the link between research group and meaning in life. The results indicate that mothers reported significantly higher perception of infant's warmth and presence of meaning before than during the pandemic. Furthermore, they displayed greater marital satisfaction and more search for meaning during the pandemic than prior to it. For the whole sample, higher marital satisfaction and perception of infant’s warmth were related to higher presence of meaning, and lower marital satisfaction and perception of the infant's invasiveness were related to higher search for meaning. Finally, mother's marital satisfaction and perception of the infant fully mediated the relationship between the research group and the two aspects of meaning in life. These findings are significant in that they provide, for the first time, evidence of changes in meaning in life among new mothers in a crisis situation, along with the importance of their perceptions of their relationships with the infant and spouse under these circumstances.

COVID-19 大流行之前和期间新妈妈的生活意义:母亲的婚姻满意度和对婴儿的感知的作用

假设在全球危机的阴影下向母亲过渡时可能会出现存在问题,我们试图比较两个新妈妈样本之间存在的意义和寻找生活意义的水平:一个是之前招募的COVID-19 的爆发,以及大流行期间的另一个。此外,我们一方面考察了母亲的婚姻满意度与对婴儿的感知之间的关联,另一方面考察了生活意义的两个方面,调查这些变量是否中介了研究小组与生活意义之间的联系。结果表明,与大流行期间相比,母亲报告的对婴儿温暖和意义存在的感知明显更高。此外,与之前相比,他们在大流行期间表现出更高的婚姻满意度和更多地寻找意义。在整个样本中,较高的婚姻满意度和对婴儿温暖的感知与较高的意义存在有关,较低的婚姻满意度和对婴儿入侵性的感知与较高的意义搜索有关。最后,母亲的婚姻满意度和对婴儿的感知完全中介了研究小组与生命意义这两个方面的关系。这些发现意义重大,因为它们首次提供了危机情况下新妈妈生活意义变化的证据,以及在这种情况下她们对与婴儿和配偶关系的看法的重要性。在整个样本中,较高的婚姻满意度和对婴儿温暖的感知与较高的意义存在有关,较低的婚姻满意度和对婴儿入侵性的感知与较高的意义搜索有关。最后,母亲的婚姻满意度和对婴儿的感知完全中介了研究小组与生命意义这两个方面的关系。这些发现意义重大,因为它们首次提供了危机情况下新妈妈生活意义变化的证据,以及在这种情况下她们对与婴儿和配偶关系的看法的重要性。在整个样本中,较高的婚姻满意度和对婴儿温暖的感知与较高的意义存在有关,较低的婚姻满意度和对婴儿入侵性的感知与较高的意义搜索有关。最后,母亲的婚姻满意度和对婴儿的感知完全中介了研究小组与生命意义这两个方面的关系。这些发现意义重大,因为它们首次提供了危机情况下新妈妈生活意义变化的证据,以及在这种情况下她们对与婴儿和配偶关系的看法的重要性。较低的婚姻满意度和对婴儿侵略性的感知与更高的意义搜索有关。最后,母亲的婚姻满意度和对婴儿的感知完全中介了研究小组与生命意义这两个方面的关系。这些发现意义重大,因为它们首次提供了危机情况下新妈妈生活意义变化的证据,以及在这种情况下她们对与婴儿和配偶关系的看法的重要性。较低的婚姻满意度和对婴儿侵略性的感知与更高的意义搜索有关。最后,母亲的婚姻满意度和对婴儿的感知完全中介了研究小组与生命意义这两个方面的关系。这些发现意义重大,因为它们首次提供了危机情况下新妈妈生活意义变化的证据,以及在这种情况下她们对与婴儿和配偶关系的看法的重要性。
