Mothers who stay at home may be more socially isolated than those who work, which might increase their chances of being depressed, the researchers said. They might also be under more stress as a result of being at home with their children all day. This stress may be slightly relieved when their children start school, which may explain why the link disappeared when children entered school. Researchers interviewed some women throughout their children’s infancy, pre-school years and into elementary school.
The researchers defined working part time as working one-to-32 hours per week. About 25 percent of mothers were employed part time during the study period, although mothers moved in and out of part-time work. Mothers reported whether they experienced symptoms of depression and rated their overall health as poor, fair, good or excellent. The mothers also answered questions about conflicts between their work and family life, and how involved they were in their child’s schooling.
