A family-centered approach to the support of families with a young child with an intellectual or developmental disability has been widely adopted in the last decade. While some of the foundational assumptions of family-centered theory have been tested, there remain considerable gaps in the research evidence for this approach. While parenting stress and competence have been examined in the general family support literature, these variables have received little attention in the family-centered support literature. This pilot study examined the relationship between parent stress and parenting competence and family-centered support. The results suggest that important components of family-centered practice are significantly associated with parent stress, but that a meaningful association between parenting competence and family-centered practice is yet to be demonstrated.
在过去十年中，以家庭为中心支持有智力或发育障碍幼儿的家庭的方法已被广泛采用。虽然以家庭为中心理论的一些基本假设已经得到检验，但在支持这种方法的研究证据方面仍存在相当大的差距。虽然在一般家庭支持文献中已经探讨了育儿压力和能力，但这些变量在以家庭为中心的支持文献中很少受到关注。这项试点研究考察了父母压力、育儿能力与以家庭为中心的支持之间的关系。结果表明，以家庭为中心实践的重要组成部分与父母压力显著相关，但育儿能力与以家庭为中心实践之间的有意义关联尚未得到证实。
