Children with precocious puberty undergo rapid physical changes that may lead to behavioral problems. Parenting style, along with parental stress and coping mechanisms, are important parental factors that affect the development of behavioral problems in children. Therefore, we examined the serial mediating effects of parenting style and parent's coping mechanisms on the relationship between parental stress and behavioral problems in girls with precocious puberty.
This cross-sectional study analyzed a convenience sample of 200 mothers of girls with precocious puberty at a university hospital located in a metropolitan area of Korea. Mothers completed The Parental Stress Measurement, Parents as Social Context Questionnaire, Coping Inventory for Stress Situations, and Korean version of the Child Behavior Checklist 6-18. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, Pearson's correlations, and bootstrap analyses were used to analyze the collected data.
Parental stress from family and personal roles triggers emotion-oriented coping, which reinforces negative parenting and contributes to children's behavioral issues. Conversely, stress from relationships promotes task-focused coping, which enhances positive parenting attitudes and reduces negative ones.
Interventions should be developed and applied to help mothers of children with precocious puberty use task-focused coping strategies in stressful situations to positively impact their children's behavioral problems.
性早熟儿童会经历快速的身体变化，这可能导致行为问题。教养方式以及父母压力和应对机制是影响儿童行为问题发展的重要父母因素。因此，我们研究了教养方式和父母应对机制在性早熟女孩的父母压力与行为问题之间关系中的系列中介作用。
这项横断面研究分析了韩国一个大都市地区一家大学医院的200名性早熟女孩母亲的便利样本。母亲们完成了《父母压力测量量表》《父母作为社会环境问卷》《应激情境应对量表》以及《儿童行为清单6 - 18岁韩国版》测试。使用描述性统计、t检验、皮尔逊相关性分析和自助法分析来分析收集到的数据。
来自家庭和个人角色的父母压力引发以情绪为导向的应对方式，这强化了消极的教养方式并导致儿童的行为问题。相反，人际关系方面的压力促进以任务为导向的应对方式，这增强了积极的教养态度并减少消极态度。
应制定并应用干预措施，以帮助性早熟儿童的母亲在压力情境中使用以任务为导向的应对策略，从而对其孩子的行为问题产生积极影响。
