OBJECTIVE
To examine negative affectivity and problem-solving abilities for lone mothers and those who are married/partnered subsequent to a child's diagnosis with cancer.
METHODS
Negative affectivity and problem-solving strategies were assessed for 464 mothers (87 lone and 377 married/partnered) within 2-16 weeks of their child's diagnosis with cancer.
RESULTS
The two groups of mothers did not differ significantly on measures of perceived posttraumatic stress or problem-solving; lone mothers reported significantly more symptoms of depression. This difference was no longer significant when maternal education was taken into account.
CONCLUSIONS
Negative affectivity and problem-solving abilities were similar for lone mothers and those that are married/partnered shortly after their child has been diagnosed with cancer. Findings are discussed within the context of contemporary strategies to assess marital status as proxy variable for various underlying constructs.
目的
研究孩子被诊断患有癌症后，单身母亲以及已婚/有伴侣母亲的消极情感性和解决问题的能力。
方法
在孩子被诊断患有癌症后的2至16周内，对464名母亲（87名单身母亲和377名已婚/有伴侣母亲）的消极情感性和解决问题的策略进行评估。
结果
两组母亲在创伤后应激感知或解决问题的测量上没有显著差异；单身母亲报告的抑郁症状明显更多。考虑到母亲的教育程度后，这种差异不再显著。
结论
孩子被诊断患有癌症后，单身母亲和已婚/有伴侣母亲的消极情感性和解决问题的能力相似。研究结果在当代将婚姻状况作为各种潜在结构的代理变量的评估策略背景下进行了讨论。
