Mothers living with HIV (MLH) face unique stressors impacting parenting, parenting stress, and child psychosocial functioning, but longitudinal, bidirectional relations among family processes have not been examined in this population. This study examined relations among parenting quality, parenting stress, and child functioning in 174 MLH-child dyads (aged 6-14, M = 9.65, SD = 2.49; 51% female; 57% Black/African American; 35% Latinx). Families completed self-report questionnaires over four waves spanning 15 months. Cross-lagged panel analysis revealed unidirectional and bidirectional relations between parenting stress and child functioning; parenting quality and child functioning; and parenting quality and parenting stress. The findings suggest that prevention and intervention efforts with HIV-affected families should target both parent factors (e.g., communication skills) and child factors (e.g., emotion regulation), emphasizing parenting stress reduction in order to bolster family outcomes.
携带 HIV 的母亲（MLH）面临着独特的压力，这些压力会影响育儿、育儿压力和儿童的心理社会功能，但在该人群中，尚未对家庭过程之间的纵向、双向关系进行研究。本研究在 174 个 MLH-儿童对（年龄 6-14 岁，M=9.65，SD=2.49；51%为女性；57%为黑人/非裔美国人；35%为拉丁裔）中，考察了育儿质量、育儿压力和儿童功能之间的关系。家庭在 15 个月内完成了四次跨越的自我报告问卷调查。交叉滞后面板分析显示，育儿压力与儿童功能之间存在单向和双向关系；育儿质量与儿童功能；以及育儿质量和育儿压力。研究结果表明，针对受 HIV 影响的家庭的预防和干预措施应该同时针对父母因素（例如，沟通技巧）和儿童因素（例如，情绪调节），强调减轻育儿压力，以增强家庭成果。
