This article focuses on the relation between maternal distress and mother-child discrepancy in reports of child psychopathology, as assessed by a standardized structured interview. The sample includes 92 chronically ill children (mean age +/- SD = 12.5 +/- 2.7 years). Agreement between mother and child on the presence of any child psychiatric diagnosis was low. Maternal distress was correlated with the number of disorders identified by the mother but not with those identified by the child. Maternal distress was significantly higher in the mothers who identified a disorder but whose children did not. Choice of informant and maternal distress are significant factors in the evaluation of psychopathology.
本文聚焦于母亲的困扰与儿童心理病理学报告中母子差异之间的关系，该差异通过标准化结构化访谈进行评估。样本包括92名慢性病患儿（平均年龄±标准差=12.5±2.7岁）。母亲与孩子在任何儿童精神疾病诊断上的一致性较低。母亲的困扰与母亲所识别出的疾病数量相关，但与孩子所识别出的疾病数量无关。在识别出疾病但孩子未识别出的母亲中，母亲的困扰显著更高。信息提供者的选择和母亲的困扰是心理病理学评估中的重要因素。
