Abstract
CONCLUSIONS: Parents report more behavioral and emotional problems in VLBW children at age 3 if they themselves have had symptoms of depression, parenting stress, or weak sense of coherence 1 year earlier. The new finding of this study was to show the significance of the father's psychological well-being on the behavioral development of a preterm child. Pediatrics 2012;129:e937-e944
