Parents' level of stress as measured by the Parenting Stress Index is examined in relation to the utilization of pediatric medical services for children between the ages of 1 and 48 months. The six categories of medical services considered were: Well Visits, Sick Visits, Infections, Diarrhea and Vomiting, Traumatic Injuries, and Other Medical Services. For the first 18 months of age no significant mean difference between stress groups and medical utilization was found. Significant correlations and mean differences were found for the 19- to 24- and the 25- to 48-month age groups in relation to the traumatic injury criterion. Moderate parenting stress is interpreted as potentially adaptive in relation to reducing traumatic injuries.
通过育儿压力指数衡量的父母压力水平，与1至48个月大儿童的儿科医疗服务利用情况相关联进行了研究。所考虑的六类医疗服务为：健康检查、患病就诊、感染、腹泻与呕吐、创伤性损伤以及其他医疗服务。在18个月大之前，压力组与医疗服务利用之间未发现显著的平均差异。在19至24个月以及25至48个月年龄组中，就创伤性损伤标准而言，发现了显著的相关性和平均差异。适度的育儿压力被解释为在减少创伤性损伤方面可能具有适应性。
