title: Resilience to Cumulative Stressors: A Prediction Study of Schoolchildren Living With Maternal Depression.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the predictive effect of multiple variables of risk and resilience on the behavior of school-age children living with maternal depression.
  
  
  METHODS
  In a cross-sectional predictive study, the influence of maternal depression, cumulative stressors, and resilience on the behavior of children was analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the univariate analysis, maternal depression and cumulative stressors were considered as risks, and resilience as protection for the children. In the multivariate analysis, resilience was a predictor of fewer problems in the presence of maternal depression and risks.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The degree of resilience was an indicator for the relevance of developmental actions involving effective coping skills for cumulative stressors, including maternal depression.
