The psychometric properties of the Pediatric Inventory for Parents, a measure of chronic disease-related parental stress, were examined in a sample of 72 children and adolescents who are overweight. The correlations between disease-related parental stress and general parenting stress, parental and child anxiety and children's behavioral and psychological maladjustment were examined. The results demonstrated excellent internal consistency and modest correlations with a measure of general parenting stress. Significant and positive relations of medium to large effect sizes between disease-related parenting stress and internalizing and externalizing maladjustment were found. Internalizing and externalizing behavior moderated the relations between disease-related parenting stress and parental distress. Recommendations for use of the Pediatric Inventory for Parents in clinical settings and future research directions are discussed.
对72名超重儿童和青少年样本进行了研究，以检验《父母用儿童量表》（一种衡量与慢性病相关的父母压力的工具）的心理测量特性。研究了与疾病相关的父母压力与一般养育压力、父母和孩子的焦虑以及孩子的行为和心理失调之间的相关性。结果显示，该量表具有出色的内部一致性，且与一般养育压力量表存在适度相关性。研究发现，与疾病相关的父母压力与内化和外化失调之间存在显著且呈中等至较大效应量的正相关关系。内化和外化行为调节了与疾病相关的父母压力和父母痛苦之间的关系。文中还讨论了在临床环境中使用《父母用儿童量表》的建议以及未来的研究方向。
