目的：基于以往的文献表明，应对方式和结果之间的关联取决于应对发生的背景。目前的研究评估了有和没有严重精神疾病（SMI）的母亲的应对方式和父母痛苦之间的关系。方法：共120名母亲（60例SMI和60例非SMI）完成应对和父母压力问卷。有没有精神疾病，应对方式和父母的痛苦（作为一个因变量）之间的关联进行了研究。结果：有精神疾病与父母的痛苦无关，而应对方式。具体而言，对于所有妇女（有和没有精神疾病）的解脱和痛苦外化的应对方式呈正相关的父母的痛苦。结论和实践的影响：在该领域的专业人员需要意识到和响应的普遍压力的母亲和支持适应性战略，以科普这种母性相关的挑战。
Objectives: Based on previous literature showing that the association between coping styles and outcome depends on the context in which the coping takes place. the current study assessed the association between coping styles and parental distress among mothers with and without serious mental illness (SMI). Method: A total of 120 mothers (60 with SMI and 60 without) completed coping and parental distress questionnaires. Associations between having-not having a mental illness, coping styles, and parental distress (as a dependent variable) were examined. Results: Having a mental illness was not associated with parental distress, whereas coping styles were. Specifically, for all women (with and without mental illness) coping styles of disengagement and distress externalization were positively related to parental distress. Conclusion and Implications for Practice: Professionals in the field need to be aware of and responsive to the universal stressors of motherhood and support adaptive strategies to cope with such motherhood-related challenges.
