HUBUNGAN DEPRESI MATERNAL DENGAN FUNGSI KOGNISI ANAK USIA 7 – 14 TAHUN

Abstract Background: Investing in early childhood growth and development is a strategy for preparing a better future generation. Ensuring maternal mental health, including maternal depression, is a significant effort to achieve responsive care. Objective: This study aims to analyse the association between maternal depression and cognitive function of children aged 7 – 14 years at two points, in 2007/2008 and 2014/2015. Methods: This study used IFLS-4 and IFLS-5 data. The unit of analysis were children aged 7 – 14 years and mothers who lived in the same household. Children's cognitive function was measured using the Raven method, while maternal depression was measured using CESD-10. The analysis was performed using linear regression. Results: From the IFLS-4 data, there was a significant association between maternal depression and cognitive function of children aged 7 – 14 years. Children aged 7 – 14 years with mothers with depression have a risk of having cognitive function 0.1 lower which measure with Z-score (SE: 0.05) than children with mothers without depression. However, in IFLS-5, there was no significant association between maternal depression and cognitive function. Conclusion: There were different results regarding the association between maternal depression and cognitive function of children aged 7 – 14 at the two points observed. Further studies need to be done to analyse the causality between maternal depression and cognitive function in children. Keywords: cognitive function, maternal depression.
