Item type:Publication, Maternal stress mediates association of infant socioemotional development with perinatal mental health in socioeconomically vulnerable Peruvian settings(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-07-01)Increased maternal mental health during the perinatal period has been widely associated with a variety of positive outcomes for both mothers and infants. However, no studies in Peru have yet focused on studying maternal mental health and related psychological variables during this stage. Thus, the aim of this study was to test a model to associate a mother’s parental stress with infant socioemotional difficulties and maternal mental health. The sample included 988 mothers of infants aged 6 to 18 months from Peru, all from socioeconomically vulnerable settings. The findings showed that infant socioemotional difficulties were associated with poorer maternal mental health through the mother’s parental stress (χ2(7) = 28.89, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.03). These results provide a better understanding of the key elements associated with maternal mental health during the perinatal period in Peru and offer valuable insights for developing interventions and support strategies for socioeconomically vulnerable mothers and their young children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Validation of the Spanish version of the Baby Pediatric Symptom Checklist (BPSC) with Peruvian infants aged 6 to 18 months from socioeconomically vulnerable settings(Aitana Research Group, 2024-09-01)Validation of the Spanish version of the Baby Pediatric Symptom Checklist (BPSC) with Peruvian infants aged 6 to 18 months from socioeconomically vulnerable settings. Difficulties in the socioemotional development of infants are associated with problems of adaptation to the social environment and greater probability of psychopathology during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Despite this, in the Latin American context there is no instrument available to assess such difficulties with infants, specially in socioeconomically vulnerable contexts. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain evidence of internal validity of the Spanish versión of the Baby Pediatric Symptom Checklist (BPSC; Sheldrick et al., 2013) in a sample of 1239 infants (50% females and 50% males) aged six to 18 months (M = 12.40, SD = 3.20). The infants came from urban and rural areas of Peru with high rates of socioeconomic vulnerability. In the overall sample, the exploratory factor analysis (KMO = .93, Bartlett’s Sphericity Test [66] = 28960.62, p < .001) and confirmatory factor analysis (χ2(51) = 254.58, p < .001, CFI = .97, RMSEA = .06 and SRMR = .03) results showed adequate internal structure validity with a three-factor solution which shows an appropriate reliability (α = .82-.84; ω = .81 - .87). In addition, the results of the analyses performed through exploratory factor analysis by age groups also revealed an adequate functioning of the scale in the 6- to 12-month and 12- to 18-month age groups.Thus, evidence is provided to support the use of the BPSC in studies conducted in Peru. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, “Not broken, just silenced”: Empowerment among adolescent mothers institutionalized after sexual violence in Peru(SAGE Publishing, 2026-01-01)This study examines, through a feminist empowerment lens, the trajectories that lead Peruvian adolescent mothers into institutional care following pregnancies resulting from sexual violence, and their lived experiences within these settings. Using a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in a state-accredited protection institution in Lima. Nine adolescent mothers aged 13 to 17 participated in structured observations and group interviews conducted together with in-depth interviews with one adolescent and two institutional authorities. The findings identified three key moments across a continuum of violence and care: sexual violence within the family, disclosure and engagement with legal and health systems, and life inside the institution. Across these phases, participants encountered multiple forms of revictimization, including within institutions meant to provide care. At the same time, the study documents expressions of resistance and agency, including disclosure, peer solidarity, and collective care. These practices illustrate forms of “power from within” and “power with” that emerge under conditions of profound constraint. Rather than positioning institutionalization as protective by default, the analysis shows how care is often delivered through paternalistic and controlling logics that limit autonomy. The study contributes to feminist psychology by conceptualizing empowerment as relational, situated, and negotiated within institutional contexts.2
