In a cross sectional study the mental health of parents of physically and mentally handicapped preschool children was compared with that of parents of healthy preschool children. The social networks of the parents with handicapped children were also studied to determine factors that might influence psychiatric morbidity. The mothers of the handicapped children showed significantly more psychiatric morbidity than the control mothers, but the fathers did not show the same deleterious effect on mental health.
在一项横断面研究中,对患有身心障碍的学龄前儿童的父母与健康学龄前儿童的父母的心理健康状况进行了比较。还对患有残疾儿童的父母的社会网络进行了研究,以确定可能影响精神疾病发病率的因素。残疾儿童的母亲比对照组母亲表现出明显更多的精神疾病发病率,但父亲对心理健康没有表现出同样的有害影响。
