The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the association of observed parenting behaviors with adjustment in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their mothers.
Adolescents with T1D (n = 30) and their mothers provided data on psychosocial adjustment and engaged in a discussion task about diabetes stress, which was coded for parenting behavior. Clinical data (i.e., HbA1c) was obtained from adolescents' medical records.
Mothers' symptoms of anxiety and depression were related to lower levels of child-centered parenting. Higher levels of observed child-centered parenting and positive reinforcement and lower levels of maternal hostility and parental influence were related to better psychosocial adjustment in adolescents (i.e., fewer depressive symptoms, better quality of life) and better metabolic control.
Results support the use of observational data in this population and provide estimates of effect sizes between parenting variables, maternal and adolescent psychosocial adjustment, and metabolic control.
本初步研究旨在确定观察到的父母行为与 1 型糖尿病(T1D)青少年及其母亲的适应情况之间的关联。
30 名 T1D 青少年及其母亲提供了心理社会适应数据,并参与了关于糖尿病压力的讨论任务,该任务对父母行为进行了编码。临床数据(即 HbA1c)取自青少年的病历。
母亲的焦虑和抑郁症状与以儿童为中心的养育方式水平较低有关。观察到的以儿童为中心的养育方式、积极的强化以及母亲的敌意和父母的影响程度较低与青少年的心理社会适应(即抑郁症状减少、生活质量提高)和更好的代谢控制有关。
研究结果支持在该人群中使用观察数据,并提供了父母行为、母亲和青少年心理社会适应以及代谢控制之间的变量、效应大小的估计值。
