To examine relationships between a mother's stress-related conditions and parenting attitudes and their children's asthmatic status.
274 mothers of an asthmatic child 2 to 12 years old completed a questionnaire including questions about their chronic stress/coping behaviors (the "Stress Inventory"), parenting attitudes (the "Ta-ken Diagnostic Test for Parent-Child Relationship, Parent Form"), and their children's disease status. One year later, a follow-up questionnaire was mailed to the mothers that included questions on the child's disease status.
223 mothers (81%) responded to the follow-up survey. After controlling for non-psychosocial factors including disease severity at baseline, multiple linear regression analysis followed by multiple logistic regression analysis found chronic irritation/anger and emotional suppression to be aggravating factors for children aged < 7 years; for children aged 7 and over, the mothers' egocentric behavior was a mitigating factor while interference was an aggravating factor.
Different types of parental stress/coping behaviors and parenting styles may differently predict their children's asthmatic status, and such associations may change as children grow.
探讨母亲的应激相关状况和育儿态度与其子女哮喘状况之间的关系。
274 名患有 2 至 12 岁哮喘儿童的母亲完成了一份问卷,其中包括有关其慢性应激/应对行为(“应激量表”)、育儿态度(“亲子关系 Ta-ken 诊断测试,家长形式”)和其子女疾病状况的问题。一年后,向母亲寄出了一份包含儿童疾病状况问题的随访问卷。
223 名母亲(81%)对随访调查做出了回应。在控制了基线疾病严重程度等非心理社会因素后,多元线性回归分析后进行多元逻辑回归分析发现,慢性刺激/愤怒和情绪压抑是 7 岁以下儿童病情加重的因素;对于 7 岁及以上的儿童,母亲的自我中心行为是一个缓解因素,而干扰是一个加重因素。
不同类型的父母应激/应对行为和育儿方式可能会以不同的方式预测其子女的哮喘状况,并且这种关联可能会随着儿童的成长而变化。
