Abstract
Introduction: Maternal nicotine use during pregnancy has a negative impact on the child. Numerous studies have demonstrated an association between smoking during pregnancy and psychological deficits. This study looks at deficits in executive functioning in preschool-aged children. Methods: The executive functioning of preschool children was assessed by asking parents to complete the parental form of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions - Preschool Version (BRIEF-P, German version). The results for preschool children whose mothers had smoked during pregnancy (n = 71) were compared with those of a control group. In a subsample, parental assessments of children of smokers (n = 42) and non-smokers (n = 27) were complemented by the teacher form of the BRIEF-P (German version), which allowed inter-rater agreement (parents vs. preschool teachers) to be assessed. Results: An increased incidence of executive function deficits was noted in the children of smokers, based on parental assessment. Clinically relevant deficits were particularly evident with regard to inhibition, with inhibitory deficits in children of smokers found to be almost four times higher than in the control group (p = 0.006). Inhibitory deficits were reported both by parents and by preschool teachers. Discussion: The increased percentage of executive function deficits described here, particularly the increased inhibitory deficits, confirms the current state of research on smoking during pregnancy. Poor inhibition or impulse control is a key symptom of ADHD.Einleitung: Der Nikotinkonsum der Mutter während der Schwangerschaft hat verschiedene negative Folgen für ein Kind. Eine Vielzahl von Studien zeigt dabei auch einen Zusammenhang mit psychischen Verhaltensauffälligkeiten auf. In der vorliegenden Studie soll der Fokus auf Störungen in den exekutiven Funktionen im Kindergartenalter gelegt werden. Methoden: Es wurden die Eltern- und Erziehereinschätzungen zu exekutiven Funktionen im Verhaltensinventar zur Beurteilung exekutiver Funktionen für das Kindergartenalter (BRIEF-P) von 71 Kindergartenkindern, deren Mütter während der Schwangerschaft geraucht haben, mit einer Kontrollgruppe verglichen. Für einen Teil der Kinder von Raucherinnen (n = 42) und von Nichtraucherinnen (n = 27) konnten darüber hinaus die Erzieherinneneinschätzungen im BRIEF-P berücksichtigt werden. Ergebnisse: Im Elternurteil ergab sich für Kinder von Raucherinnen ein gehäuftes Auftreten von Auffälligkeiten in den exekutiven Funktionen. Insbesondere im Bereich der Inhibition zeigten sich fast 4-mal häufiger klinisch relevante Defizite als für die Kinder der Kontrollgruppe (p = 0,006). Die Auffälligkeiten in der Inhibition zeigen sich sowohl im Eltern- als auch im Erzieherurteil. Diskussion: Die hier beschriebene erhöhte Rate an Defiziten in den exekutiven Funktionen, insbesondere im Bereich der Inhibition, bestätigt den Forschungsstand zum Nikotinkonsum während der Schwangerschaft. Mangelnde Inhibition bzw. Impulskontrolle stellt ein Kernsymptom der ADHS dar.
