| Research Abstract |
○Three questionnaire surveys and an interview were conducted over four years with 91 (in the first year of this study) public and private kindergartens across the country in order to examine the reality and effect of implementation of support for raising kindergarteners. Results of the surveys and interview indicated that mothers who used after-hours nursing services felt more burdened by parenting than those who did not require these services. Also, the number of kindergartens that provided counseling services on parenting increased over the three years during the study, and these services were available not only for parents of own kindergartners but also for other parents who lived in the same community. Furthermore, the number of kindergartens that hired outside experts such as developmental psychologists also increased. In addition, the number of kindergartens that provided support for parents whose children had not yet entered kindergarten increased, and the length of such service

provision was also extended to throughout the year.
○In order to examine the development of parent-child relationships and needs for parenting support, 3 longitudinal studies were conducted. The objective of the first study was to examine the causal relationships between depression and husband-wife intimacy from pregnancy to 1 year postpartum using path analysis. When 228 husband-pregnant wife pairs were examined, depression experienced by wives during pregnancy influenced their intimacy toward husband at six months postpartum which then affected their depression at one year postpartum. Meanwhile, wives' depression in pregnancy influenced husbands' depression at six months after child birth, and also, wives' intimacy influenced husbands' intimacy at every given time points. Second longitudinal study was conducted to clarify the changes in mental health when individuals became parents and the factors that influenced mental health. As of the end of FY2006, 220 fathers and 290 mothers participated in the fifth survey when children grew up to be three years old. The result of analysis indicated that ambivalent husband-wife relationships had significant effects on their depression at one year after child birth. The third longitudinal study in the aim of elucidating risk factors of postpartum depression was conducted with 527 pregnant women (287 women at 1 year after birth). The result showed that risk factors of postpartum depression varied depending on time; however, depression during pregnancy always contributed to depression at every point. The study indicated in particular that the pregnancy wantedness or decisions on job-career influenced depression during the initial period after child birth. Less
