To identify correlates of psychological distress among multiple indicators, 99 women with adult children suffering from a psychotic disorder were interviewed. The women, who were recruited through hospitals and self-help groups, represented different socioeconomic levels. A face-to-face standardized interview was conducted, mainly in the participants' homes. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis showed that dimensions of burden and social support were strongly associated with distress reported by the participants. The negative interactions that participants had with their main confidant or spouse constituted a more powerful correlate than their perception of the quality of this relationship. Furthermore, a perception of their own health as poorer is a strong correlate of their distress. Since no control group was studied simultaneously, these results suggest, but do not prove, the presence of differences between mothers of adults with psychotic disorders and other mothers.
为了在多个指标中确定心理困扰的相关因素，我们对99名成年子女患有精神障碍的女性进行了访谈。这些女性通过医院和自助组织招募而来，代表了不同的社会经济水平。主要在参与者家中进行了面对面的标准化访谈。多元层次回归分析表明，负担和社会支持维度与参与者报告的困扰密切相关。参与者与主要知己或配偶的负面互动比他们对这种关系质量的感知更能有力地说明问题。此外，认为自己健康状况较差是其困扰的一个重要相关因素。由于没有同时研究对照组，这些结果表明，但不能证明，患有精神障碍的成年人的母亲与其他母亲之间存在差异。
