Mothers with arthritis : experiences in the stories of mothering

Del Fabro, Linda 05 1900 (has links)
Motherhood has been described as an identity, a role, and a way of participating in life (Arendell, 2000; Farber, 2004). Motherhood has also been described as 'work', the care taking, nurturing and teaching of children (Francis-Connolly, 2000). Mothers with arthritis have reported difficulty in the tasks of parenting and household work (Allaire et al., 1991; Backman, Kennedy, Chalmers & Singer, 2004; Barlow, Cullen, Foster, Harrison & Wade, 1999; Grant, Cullen & Barlow, 2000; Reisine, Grady, Goodenow & Fifield, 1998), however, we know little about how a mother experiences these challenges. While the subjective experience of being a mother and having a disability is intrinsically linked to participation, health and social interaction (Farber, 2004), research has not been conducted on how mothers with arthritis experience mothering in the presence of arthritis, and how this experience affects their participation, identity and social interaction. This narrative research study asks "How is being a mother and doing motherhood activities affected by your arthritis?" Study objectives include: 1) Describe mothers' experiences of nurturing, teaching and caring for their children. 2) Describe how mothers understand and explain the effect of arthritis on their role of mother. 3) Describe whether or not this understanding changes how mothers participate and interact in their community. Narrative inquiry was used to explore the experiences of eight married mothers with inflammatory arthritis who have at least one child (aged 0-18) living at home. Purposive sampling allowed representation of families from different communities, with children of different ages. Data collection included two in-depth interviews, participant observation, document review, and fine art painting. Data was coded and analyzed using narrative inquiry techniques (Coffey & Atkinson, 1996; Riessman, 1993; Sandelowski, 1991). Overarching storylines are presented as narratives that describe the mother's experiences of identifying with the role of mother, participation, fatigue and the social context in which mothering occurs. This study contributes to the sparse body of literature on the impact of arthritis on participation in maternal practices and social interaction, informing health professionals about the experience of mothering with arthritis.

Does mother age influence the development of offspring walking and talking?

De Jaeger, Amy 05 September 2014 (has links)
Older motherhood (after 30 years) is increasingly common, yet relatively little is known about the relation between mother age and child development. Mother age has been linked to offspring cognitive and motor development, but those studies measured mother age with crude categorizations (e.g., older vs. younger) and varied their focus from one developmental period to another (e.g., infancy vs. early childhood). The present study used a more sensitive measure of mother age and examined both motor and language development in the same children at the same age. Mother age was considered within an ecological systems framework as a predictor of variability in offspring walking and talking. Survival analysis was used to examine a large archival dataset in Study One to create an initial snapshot of mother age effects. Study Two used online methodologies to clarify mother age effects by examining early motor (walking) and language (gestures) development in a heterogeneous sample. Older motherhood was associated with delayed walking and talking during infancy (0 to 18 months), but advanced receptive vocabulary in childhood (4 and 5 years). Such results confirm the general idea that variation in mother age has implications for offspring development, but the pattern and direction of influence appears to vary by content domain and by age. The use of a one-size-fits-all norm for typical development and for assessing developmental delay is ill-advised because children of younger and older mothers may differ in systematic ways.
