To examine differences between families of youth with spina bifida (SB) and families of typically developing (TD) youth on family-, parent-, and youth-level variables across preadolescence and adolescence.
Participants were 68 families of youth with SB and 68 families of TD youth. Ratings of observed family interactions were collected every 2 years at 5 time points (Time 1: ages 8-9 years; Time 5: ages 16-17 years).
For families of youth with SB: families displayed less cohesion and more maternal psychological control during preadolescence (ages 8-9 years); parents presented as more united and displayed less dyadic conflict, and youth displayed less conflict behavior during the transition to adolescence (ages 10-13 years); mothers displayed more behavioral control during middle (ages 14-15 years) and late (ages 16-17 years) adolescence; youth displayed less engagement and more dependent behavior at every time point.
Findings highlight areas of resilience and disruption in families of youth with SB across adolescence.
研究患有脊柱裂(SB)的青少年家庭与发育正常(TD)的青少年家庭在青春期前和青春期的家庭、父母及青少年层面变量上的差异。
参与者包括68个患有脊柱裂的青少年家庭和68个发育正常的青少年家庭。在5个时间点(时间1:8 - 9岁;时间5:16 - 17岁)每2年收集一次观察到的家庭互动评分。
对于患有脊柱裂的青少年家庭:在青春期前(8 - 9岁),家庭凝聚力较低,母亲的心理控制较多;在向青春期过渡阶段(10 - 13岁),父母表现得更加团结,二元冲突较少,青少年的冲突行为也较少;在青春期中期(14 - 15岁)和晚期(16 - 17岁),母亲表现出更多的行为控制;在每个时间点,青少年的参与度较低,依赖行为较多。
研究结果突出了患有脊柱裂的青少年家庭在整个青春期的恢复力和干扰方面的情况。
