This paper examines causal relationships between depressive symptoms and marital intimacy during transition to parenthood. A series of questionnaire survey was conducted, and 228 couples at pregnancy, 155 couples at 6 month postpartum and 142 couples at 1 year postpartum provided data regarding marital intimacy and depressive symptoms. Result showed that both wives and husbands exhibited depression throughout ante- and postnatal. Also, throughout the survey, decline of intimacy was evident in both husbands and wives. On the causal relationships, it was shown for both husbands and wives, that their own intimacy toward their partners at 6 month postpartum affected their own depression at 1 year postpartum. However, from pregnancy to 6 month postpartum, the causal relations differed. For wives, causal paths emerged from their depressive symptoms during pregnancy to their marital intimacy toward husbands at 6 month postpartum, whereas for husbands, wives' depression during pregnancy affected their depression at 6 month after child birth. Also, wives' intimacy toward husbands showed significant effect on husbands' intimacy toward wives at any time point. This suggested a causal direction within couples: wives' depression during pregnancy affects their intimacy toward husbands subsequently, and which decreases husbands' intimacy toward wives. - Characteristics of Mothers Using Extra Hours for Child Care in Preschool :: Focusing on the Burden of Child-Rearing

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the opportunity of extra hours for child care in preschool and the burden of child-rearing, and the characteristics of the mothers who use them The questioner made it clear that mothers who already use the opportunity of extra hours or who hope to use this resource feel more strongly the burden of child-rearing than mothers who do not use it. When preschool children have older siblings, their mothers tend to use the extra hours. On the other hand, those who are living with grandparents do not tend to use them. Mothers who use the opportunity of extra hours are likely to use more places to leave their children besides preschools. It was discussed how these extra hours should take a necessary role as a part of child-rearing support network. - 幼稚園児をもつ夫の帰宅時間と妻の育児不安の検討--子どもの数による比較
