Examined correspondence between mother and child reports of child anxiety immediately preceding a scheduled invasive medical procedure. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) was administered to 101 children ages 10-18 years. Mothers completed the STAIC and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to assess their perceptions of the child's anxiety and their own level of anxiety, respectively. Children were reported to have significantly more state anxiety as perceived by themselves and their mothers relative to the normative sample. Results also revealed low overall mother-child correspondence on child anxiety, particularly for mothers reporting more anxiety in themselves. Additionally, while age, gender, and socioeconomic status were not associated with mother-child correspondence, an unexpected relationship between race and correspondence emerged. Overall, our findings indicate that reliance on parents' perceptions of child anxiety prior to an invasive medical procedure is not sufficient.
研究了在预定侵入性医疗程序即将进行之前，母亲与孩子关于孩子焦虑情况报告之间的对应关系。对101名10至18岁的儿童进行了儿童状态-特质焦虑量表（STAIC）测试。母亲们分别完成了STAIC量表和状态-特质焦虑量表，以评估她们对孩子焦虑的认知以及自身的焦虑水平。据报告，相对于常模样本，孩子自己和母亲所感知到的孩子的状态焦虑明显更多。结果还显示，在孩子焦虑方面，母亲与孩子之间的总体对应性较低，尤其是对于那些报告自己焦虑程度较高的母亲。此外，虽然年龄、性别和社会经济地位与母婴对应性无关，但种族与对应性之间出现了一种意外的关系。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，仅依靠父母对侵入性医疗程序前孩子焦虑的认知是不够的。
