This study makes a theoretical contribution to stress process research by using a systemic approach to contextualize individual outcomes within the framework of other family members' experience. Utilizing a mixed model approach, indicators of the stress process of urban low-income HIV(+) African American recent mothers were found to affect the psychological distress and perceived adequacy of coping of multiple other family members. These relationships were found to be strongest proximal to birth and to be exacerbated by HIV infection. Social support to the mother was found to have differential effects depending on whether it was from the immediate family or outside sources. HIV infection of the recent mother was found to affect family members both through relationships of the mother's stress process and through their own coping responses.
本研究通过采用系统方法，将个体结果置于其他家庭成员经历的框架中来对压力过程研究做出理论贡献。利用混合模型方法，发现城市低收入感染艾滋病毒的非裔美国初为人母者的压力过程指标会影响其他多个家庭成员的心理困扰和应对的感知充分性。这些关系在临近分娩时最为强烈，并因艾滋病毒感染而加剧。对母亲的社会支持根据其来源是直系家庭还是外部而产生不同影响。研究发现，初为人母者的艾滋病毒感染会通过母亲压力过程中的关系以及家庭成员自身的应对反应来影响家庭成员。
