目的探讨脊柱裂青少年友谊的特点。方法青少年SB家庭招募一名同龄人参加，106对夫妇参加。青年与SB和同龄人完成问卷调查和访谈的特点，二元友谊和每个人的一般友谊。结果青年SB患者与同龄人在许多方面有相似之处。然而，患有SB的年轻人认为友谊更亲密，更有可能将同龄人视为最好的朋友，而不是相反。关于一般的友谊，青少年与SB花更少的时间与朋友在一起，报告的友谊，安全和亲密程度较低，并报告来自同龄人和家人的情感支持水平较低。结论青少年SB经验的友谊的质量和互惠的显着差异。有针对性的干预措施可以帮助年轻人建立高质量的友谊。
Objective To characterize dyadic and general friendships of youth with spina bifida (SB). Methods Families of youth with SB recruited a peer to participate; 106 dyads participated. Youth with SB and peers completed questionnaires and interviews regarding characteristics of the dyadic friendship and each individual's general friendships. Results Youth with SB and their peers were similar in many ways. However, youth with SB rated the friendship as closer and were more likely to see peers as best friends rather than the reverse. Regarding general friendships, youth with SB spent fewer days with friends, reported lower levels of companionship, security, and closeness in their friendships, and reported lower levels of emotional support from peers and family. Conclusions Youth with SB experience significant differences in the quality and reciprocation of friendships. Targeted interventions may assist youth in developing high quality friendships.
