To examine associations between frequency of emergency room (ER) visits and various parenting styles, both conjointly and interactively, and psychopathological outcomes among pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Ninety-eight parents/caregivers of 6- to 18-year-old patients with SCD completed instruments assessing parenting style, child psychopathology, and reported on the frequency of ER visits during the previous year.
ER visits were found to significantly explain Withdrawn/Depressed problems and parenting styles were found to incrementally contribute to the explanation of all forms of psychopathology. Further, Permissive parenting was found to explain Rule Breaking Behavior for those patients with low ER visit frequency but not for those with high ER visit frequency.
Results of the current study confirm the importance of considering both the frequency of ER visits and parenting style in the explanation of psychopathology among pediatric patients with SCD. Results have important implications for both research and treatment.
本研究旨在同时和交互地考察急诊就诊频率与各种养育方式之间的关联，并探讨其与镰状细胞病（SCD）儿科患者心理病理结局之间的关系。
98 名 6 至 18 岁 SCD 患儿的家长/看护者完成了评估养育方式、儿童心理病理和过去一年急诊就诊频率的工具。
急诊就诊频率显著解释了退缩/抑郁问题，养育方式则显著解释了所有形式的心理病理。进一步的研究发现，宽松型养育方式对低急诊就诊频率的患儿的违规行为有解释力，但对高急诊就诊频率的患儿则没有。
本研究结果证实了在解释 SCD 儿科患者心理病理时，同时考虑急诊就诊频率和养育方式的重要性。研究结果对研究和治疗均有重要意义。
