To review research on observed family communication in families with children with chronic illnesses compared with families with healthy, typically developing children, and to integrate findings utilizing a unifying family communication framework.
Topical review of studies that have directly observed family communication in pediatric populations and included a typically developing comparison group.
Initial findings from 14 studies with diverse approaches to quantifying observed family communication suggest that families with children with chronic illnesses may demonstrate lower levels of warm and structured communication and higher levels of hostile/intrusive and withdrawn communication compared with families with healthy, typically developing children.
An integrative framework of family communication may be used in future studies that examine the occurrence, correlates, and mechanisms of family communication in pediatric populations.
回顾比较有慢性病患儿家庭与健康、正常发育儿童家庭的观察到的家庭沟通的研究,并利用统一的家庭沟通框架整合研究结果。
对直接观察儿科人群家庭沟通并包括正常发育对照组的研究进行专题回顾。
14 项采用不同方法量化观察到的家庭沟通的研究的初步结果表明,与健康、正常发育的儿童家庭相比,有慢性病患儿的家庭可能表现出较低的温暖和结构化沟通水平,以及较高的敌对/侵扰和退缩沟通水平。
在未来研究中,可以使用家庭沟通的综合框架来检查儿科人群中家庭沟通的发生、相关性和机制。
