The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) and service use of parents who have preschool-aged children, and whether the mental-health problems of parents and their children predict these outcomes. : Cross-sectional data were gathered in 2015-2016 in Uppsala County in Sweden where 3164 parents of children aged three- to five-years-old were asked to self-report their own and their children's mental-health status and service use in the past 12 months. Data from the General Health Questionnaire were used to derive health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures for adults. : Very few parents reported mental-health problems, while approximately 15% of the sample used any type of parental support and/or psychological health-care service. Families without problems used the least amount of resources. Parents' own mental-health problems predicted usage of both psychotherapy and couples' therapy, while child problems predicted the former but also the use of a parenting program. Parental HRQoL was predicted by mental-health problems, and all families with at least one individual experiencing problems rated their QoL lower than families without problems.
本研究旨在评估有学龄前儿童的父母的生活质量 (QoL) 和服务使用情况，以及父母和子女的心理健康问题是否可以预测这些结果。本研究采用横断面数据，于 2015-2016 年在瑞典乌普萨拉县收集，共有 3164 名 3 至 5 岁儿童的父母被要求自我报告过去 12 个月中他们自己和孩子的心理健康状况和服务使用情况。使用一般健康问卷 (General Health Questionnaire) 中的数据得出成年人的健康相关生活质量 (HRQoL) 衡量标准。非常少的父母报告存在心理健康问题，而大约 15%的样本使用了任何类型的父母支持和/或心理保健服务。没有问题的家庭使用的资源最少。父母自身的心理健康问题可以预测接受心理治疗和夫妻治疗的情况，而儿童问题则可以预测接受心理治疗，但也可以预测接受育儿计划。父母的 HRQoL 可以由心理健康问题预测，并且所有至少有一个人存在问题的家庭都比没有问题的家庭对其生活质量评价更低。
