Focusing on the adjustment of the siblings of three groups of male children: with pervasive developmental disability, diabetes and no known chronic illness, the present study failed to support the view that siblings of ill children are uniformly at greater risk for psychosocial impairment. However, several domains were identified in which siblings as well as parents of sick children were more susceptible to adjustment problems, though 'risk' seemed to relate more closely to illness-specific variables than the presence or absence of illness. Several sex differences were found suggesting that same-sexed siblings may be more vulnerable to maladjustment than opposite-sexed pairs. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for investigation and intervention for families with an ill member.
患有广泛性发育障碍的、患有糖尿病的以及无已知慢性病的。该研究未能支持患病儿童的兄弟姐妹一律面临更大心理社会障碍风险这一观点。然而，研究确定了几个领域，患病儿童的兄弟姐妹以及父母在这些领域更容易出现适应问题，尽管“风险”似乎与疾病特异性变量的关系比与疾病的有无更为密切。研究发现了一些性别差异，表明同性别的兄弟姐妹可能比异性别的兄弟姐妹更容易出现适应不良。研究结果将根据其对有患病成员家庭的调查和干预的影响进行讨论。
