Mental health of preschool foster care children: How do foster families influence the way children cope with trauma? Abstract. Parents and other significant persons have an important role when preschool children develop or cope with psychological symptoms following traumatic experiences. The underlying mechanisms of the interaction between traumatic experiences and influences of the foster family are still unclear. This study investigates foster parents' stress levels and parenting styles as moderators or mediators in the context of trau- matic experiences. Foster parents of 286 children between three and seven years participated in an online or paper-and-pencil survey. The results suggest a connection between the traumatic experiences of foster children and the stress levels as well as the parenting styles of their foster parents. While verbosity and laxness as parenting styles moderated the impact of traumatic experiences on externalising symptoms, stress levels mediated the impact of traumatic experiences on children's internalising and externalising symptoms. The results underscore the necessity of standardized preparation of and support for foster parents in order to avoid deterioration of psychological symptoms following traumatic events.
寄养家庭如何影响儿童应对创伤的方式？摘要。在学龄前儿童经历创伤性事件后出现或应对心理症状时，父母及其他重要人物起着重要作用。创伤性经历与寄养家庭影响之间相互作用的潜在机制仍不清楚。本研究调查寄养父母的压力水平和养育方式在创伤性经历背景下作为调节变量或中介变量的情况。286名3至7岁儿童的寄养父母参与了在线或纸笔调查。结果表明寄养儿童的创伤性经历与他们寄养父母的压力水平及养育方式之间存在联系。养育方式中的唠叨和宽松调节了创伤性经历对外化症状的影响，而压力水平中介了创伤性经历对儿童内化和外化症状的影响。结果强调了对寄养父母进行标准化准备和支持的必要性，以避免创伤事件后心理症状的恶化。
