Studied the ways that mothers interpret illness behavior in their children to assess whether maternal psychological adjustment predicts maternal perceptions of children's behavioral limitations and attribution of these behaviors to chronic illness. Functional status ratings and attributions to illness by 365 mothers of 5- to 8-year-old children with chronic illnesses were associated with children's overall adjustment but not with mothers' own psychological distress. Illness attributions also were related to the child's medical visits and hospitalizations. Thus, mother's illness attributions are related to her perceptions of the child's health and more general behavioral adjustment, but not to her own mental health. Results support the validity of the FS II(R) as a measure of functioning related to children's health status that is not influenced by maternal psychological adjustment.
研究了母亲解读孩子疾病行为的方式，以评估母亲的心理调适是否能预测母亲对孩子行为限制的认知以及将这些行为归因于慢性病的情况。对365名患有慢性病的5至8岁儿童的母亲进行的功能状态评分和疾病归因与孩子的整体调适相关，但与母亲自身的心理困扰无关。疾病归因也与孩子的就诊和住院情况有关。因此，母亲对疾病的归因与她对孩子健康状况的认知以及更普遍的行为调适有关，但与她自己的心理健康无关。结果支持了FS II(R)作为衡量与儿童健康状况相关功能的有效性，该功能不受母亲心理调适的影响。
