To retrospectively examine the relationship of single-parent status to parenting capacity variables in mothers of youth with a chronic health condition.
Parental overprotection, perceived vulnerability, and parenting stress were assessed in 383 mothers (308 married and 75 single parents) of youth with one of six chronic health conditions (i.e., type 1 diabetes, asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, or sickle cell disease).
Single mothers evidenced higher levels of both perceived vulnerability and parenting stress, but not overprotection, than married parents. These differences disappeared in the presence of income as a predictor.
Single parents appear to evidence differences in parenting capacity; however, low income appears to account in large part for the higher level of risk associated with single-parent status.
回顾性考察单亲家庭状况与青少年慢性病患者母亲育儿能力变量之间的关系。
评估了 383 名患有六种慢性疾病(1 型糖尿病、哮喘、癌症、囊性纤维化、血友病或镰状细胞病)的青年的 308 名已婚和 75 名单亲母亲的父母过度保护、感知脆弱性和育儿压力。
与已婚父母相比,单身母亲表现出更高水平的感知脆弱性和育儿压力,但不是过度保护。这些差异在收入作为预测因子存在时消失了。
单身父母在育儿能力方面似乎存在差异;然而,低收入在很大程度上解释了与单亲家庭状况相关的更高风险。
