Psychosocial factors for risk and protection to child malnutrition in mothers of malnourished and eutrophic children: the role of maternal mental health

In this study, the relationship between child malnutrition, depression, anxiety and other maternal socio-demographic variables was investigated in mothers of malnourished (MD) and eutrophic (ME) children. The causes attributed by mothers to malnutrition were also studied. Ten mothers from each group, with children aged from 11 months to three years and who were users of primary health care units, participated in the study. They answered Beck depression and anxiety inventory, a questionnaire on vital events and an open question concerning the causes of malnutrition. The evaluation instruments were corrected according to proper guidelines and comparative analyses between the groups were performed. The answers to the open question were qualitatively evaluated, submitted to content analysis. The mothers in the two groups were nearly 30 years old or older. They had a steady partner and were subject to very similar life conditions. They had attended school for 5.5 years and were housewives or worked in low-income jobs. Concerning mental health indicators, a significantly larger number of mothers in the MM group showed depression indicators when compared to mothers in the EM group. Most mothers attributed malnutrition to biological factors or to the lack of maternal care, with more moralist statements in the EM group, and statements filled with guilt in MM. Results suggest that in order to fight malnutrition, in addition to nutritional interventions, it is necessary to heed attention to maternal socio-emotional issues.

Electrochemical determination of antimalarial drug amodiaquine in maternal milk using a hemin-based electrode

Voltammetric analysis of amodiaquine using a hemin biosensor revealed a well-defined peak at 0.14 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), corresponding to the oxidation of amodiaquine at pH 7.0. The electrodic behavior indicated that the oxidation process was irreversible, and that it was controlled by diffusion. In addition to advantages such as high selectivity and sensitivity, the method developed could be used for the analysis of breast milk containing amodiaquine without any need for prior sample treatment, an important consideration in routine analysis laboratories. Measurements of the drug contained in breast milk were used to validate the technique. The detection limit for standard solutions was 3.30 mg L-1, and the quantification limit was 11.0 mg L-1. ©The Electrochemical Society.
