Abstract
Background and Purpose: Internalized problems are problems that are internal in nature and manifest
themselves in the form of withdrawal from social interactions, anxiety, and depression. This study
investigated the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and the child’s internalized problems
with the mediating role of marital conflict and the quality of maternal care.
Method: The design of the present study is descriptive-correlational. Subjects consisted of 145 mothers
who were selected as a convenience sample and answered the questions of the Beck Depression Inventory
(BDI-S) questionnaire, the revised form of the Marital Conflict Inventory (MCQ-R), Maternal Care
Quality Scale, and Achenbach Child Behavior Inventory-Parents’ Version. For data processing, Pearson
correlation, path analysis and mediating effects test were used in Macro Preacher and Hayes.
Results: The results showed that there is a relationship between the depressive symptoms of the mother
and the internalized problems of the child, the depressive symptoms of the mother and the quality of
maternal care (r = -0.343 and P <0.005), the marital conflict and the internalized problems of the child
(0.301 r = and P <0.005) and the quality of maternal care and internalized problems (r = -0.206 and P <0.001).
The results also showed that marital conflict has a mediating role in the relationship between maternal
depressive symptoms and internalized child problems (0.0001) and the quality of maternal care also plays
a mediating role in the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and internalized child problems
(p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Knowledge and benefit from the results of this study can significantly help to improve the
understanding of researchers and clinicians about mother-child relationships and the factors affecting the
growth and mental health of children.
