Research exhibits a robust relation between child hurricane exposure, parent distress, and child posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study explored parenting practices that could further explicate this association. Participants were 381 mothers and their children exposed to Hurricane Katrina. It was hypothesized that 3-7 months (T1) and 14-17 months (T2) post-Katrina: (a) hurricane exposure would predict child PTSD symptoms after controlling for history of violence exposure and (b) hurricane exposure would predict parent distress and negative parenting practices, which, in turn, would predict increased child PTSD symptoms. Hypotheses were partially supported. Hurricane exposure directly predicted child PTSD at T1 and indirectly at T2. Additionally, several significant paths emerged from hurricane exposure to parent distress and parenting practices, which were predictive of child PTSD.
研究表明，儿童暴露于飓风、父母的焦虑与儿童创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）之间存在显著关系。本研究探讨了可能进一步阐明这种关联的育儿实践。参与者是 381 名母亲及其子女，他们都经历过卡特里娜飓风。研究假设在控制了暴力暴露史后，（a）飓风暴露将在 T1 和 T2（T1 和 T2 分别为飓风过后的 3-7 个月和 14-17 个月）预测儿童 PTSD 症状；（b）飓风暴露将预测父母的焦虑和消极的育儿实践，而这些反过来又将预测儿童 PTSD 症状的增加。研究假设得到了部分支持。飓风暴露直接预测了 T1 时儿童 PTSD 的发生，间接预测了 T2 时儿童 PTSD 的发生。此外，从飓风暴露到父母焦虑和育儿实践的路径中，有几个因素也与儿童 PTSD 显著相关。
