Although the low income, female-headed, inner-city family has been repeatedly linked to child behavior problems, the family processes related to child misbehavior in this high risk group have not been identified. In a group of predominantly African American inner-city low-income mothers who lived alone with their children, the relationships between family stress, social support, mothers' conflict resolution tactics, and sons' behavior were examined using the family stress adaptation model, and potential nursing interventions were identified. The sample of low-income, inner-city mother-alone families reported more family stress and less social support than normative White Anglo-Saxon Protestant families. Family violence rates did not differ between the sample and nationally representative normative groups. Thirty-nine percent of sons, referred to the study because of school difficulties, were reported to have behavior problems requiring additional assessment. Analysis confirmed the fit of sample data to the model and identified family stress as the best site for nursing intervention for these high-risk families.
尽管低收入、女性当家的市中心家庭一直被反复认为与儿童行为问题有关，但这个高风险群体中与儿童行为不端相关的家庭过程尚未得到确认。在一组主要为非裔美国人的市中心低收入母亲中，她们与孩子单独生活，运用家庭压力适应模型研究了家庭压力、社会支持、母亲的冲突解决策略与儿子行为之间的关系，并确定了潜在的护理干预措施。与规范的白人盎格鲁-撒克逊新教家庭相比，市中心低收入单亲家庭样本报告的家庭压力更大，社会支持更少。样本家庭与全国代表性规范群体的家庭暴力发生率没有差异。因学校问题被转介到该研究的儿子中，39%被报告有行为问题，需要进一步评估。分析证实样本数据与模型相符，并确定家庭压力是这些高风险家庭护理干预的最佳切入点。
