The long-term impact of a life skills-training program for mothers of children with a variety of developmental disabilities was evaluated. The components of the program included a cognitive-behavior approach designed to reduce stress and depression, improve communication and problem-solving skills, and improve satisfaction with social support networks. Participants completed assessment measures at pretest, posttest, and at a 20- to 26-month follow-up. Mothers in the skills-training class reported lower stress at posttest, lower depression levels at 2-year follow-up, and improved coping skills at posttest and 2 years later. Single mothers in the skills-training program reported the greatest satisfaction with their relationships with professionals. Mothers of children with moderate disabilities reported greater satisfaction with intimate relationships than did mothers of children with either mild or severe disabilities.
对一项针对患有各种发育障碍儿童的母亲的生活技能培训项目的长期影响进行了评估。该项目的组成部分包括一种认知行为方法，旨在减轻压力和抑郁、提高沟通和解决问题的能力，以及提高对社会支持网络的满意度。参与者在预测试、后测试以及20至26个月的随访时完成评估措施。技能培训课程中的母亲在后测试时报告压力较低，在2年随访时抑郁水平较低，并且在后测试时和2年后应对技能有所提高。技能培训项目中的单身母亲对她们与专业人员的关系满意度最高。患有中度残疾儿童的母亲对亲密关系的满意度高于患有轻度或重度残疾儿童的母亲。
