在过去的50年里，父母越来越多地参与到照顾患有精神分裂症的儿女中来。尽管这样的责任可能令人欣慰，但父母们经常报告说感到负担沉重和痛苦。这些情绪可能会影响父母在压力时期的应对策略。本研究探讨了精神病家族史对患者父母应对方式的影响。比较了有或没有患有精神病的额外一级亲属(除指标儿子或女儿)的父母和对照组的应对策略。正如预测的那样，更多的精神病家族史与父母的应对能力呈负相关。研究结果表明，更多的家庭暴露在精神病中可能会对他们处理生活压力的能力产生不利影响。根据遗传和环境因素的可能影响，对结果进行了讨论。
Over the past 50 years, parents have become more involved in the care of their schizophrenic sons and daughters. Although such responsibility can be gratifying, parents frequently report feeling burdened and distressed. These feelings may affect parents’ coping strategies in times of stress. This study examined the effects of family history of psychosis on coping styles in parents of patients. Coping strategies of parents with and without additional first-degree relatives suffering from psychosis (besides the index son or daughter) and controls were compared. As predicted, more family history of psychosis was negatively related to coping ability in parents. Findings suggest that greater familial exposure to psychosis may have an adverse effect on their ability to deal with life stressors. Results are discussed in light of the possible influence of genetic and environmental factors.
