Abstract: Objective To explore the impacts of intergenerational co-parenting relationship on depressive symptoms in mothers of infants aged 0-3 years, and the mediating role of couples' co-parenting relationship, mothers' parenting stress, and parenting competence and perceived stress. Methods With convenience sampling, 230 mothers in intergenerational co-parenting families with infants aged 0-3 years were selected in the postpartum outpatient clinic of a tertiary grade-A maternal and child healthcare hospital and community health centers in Shenzhen from January to April 2023. The General Information Questionnaire, Grandparent-Parent Co-Parenting Relationship Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Brief Co-parenting Relationship Scale, Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, and the 4-item Perceived Stress Scale were used for the investigation. Results In this study, 34.8% of the mothers reported depressive symptoms. The depression score of mothers with different monthly income, education background, and self-reported sleep quality during pregnancy were statistically significant (P<0.05). Intergenerational co-parenting relationship, couples' co-parenting relationship, parenting stress, parenting competence, and perceptual stress were correlated to mothers' depression score (r=-0.417, -0.430, 0.520, -0.615, and 0.682 respectively, P<0.01). Intergenerational co-parenting relationships can directly work on maternal depressive symptoms, and mediate maternal depressive symptoms through the single mediator of perceptual stress, or through the chain mediation of the couple's co-parenting relationship, parenting stress, and parenting sense of competence and perceived stress. The efficiency of intergenerational co-parenting, couple co-parenting, parenting stress, parenting competence and perceived stress on maternal depressive symptoms was -0.444, -0.228, 0.287, -0.517 and 0.427, respectively. Conclusion Depressive symptoms of mothers of infants aged 0-3 years is at a high level. Intergenerational co-parenting relationship may impact maternal depression directly, or influence maternal depression with the mediator of couple's co-parenting relationship, mother's parenting stress, parenting sense of competence, and perceived stress. It is important to develop quality intergenerational co-parenting relationship between generations to prevent postpartum depression of mothers who live in intergenerational co-parenting families.

Key words: maternal depression, co-parenting, parenting stress, parenting sense of competence
