本研究调查了与父母死亡相关的心理后果和次级压力源。样本(N= 116)包括26名父母一方被谋杀的青少年,45名父母一方自然死亡的青少年,以及45名没有失去亲人的青少年。青少年完成了面对面的访谈,而他们的监护人则完成了评估儿童功能的措施。基于儿童和监护人报告的结果表明,无论死亡方式如何,父母死亡与继发性应激源的增加有关。基于监护人报告的调查结果还显示,父母死亡与内在化痛苦的增加有关,父母因凶杀死亡与外在化痛苦的增加有关。此外,次级压力源介导了父母死亡与孩子痛苦的关系,父母死亡导致压力源增加,压力源增加又导致孩子痛苦增加。对二级和三级预防干预的影响进行了讨论。
This study examined the psychological consequences and secondary stressors associated with death of a parent. The sample (N= 116) consisted of 26 youths who had lost a parent to homicide, 45 youths who had lost a parent to natural death, and 45 nonbereaved youths. Youngsters completed face-to-face interviews, while their guardians completed measures assessing the children's functioning. Results based on both child and guardian reports indicated that parental death was associated with an increase in secondary stressors, regardless of the mode of death. Findings based on guardian reports also revealed that parental death was related to increased internalizing distress, and that parental death due to homicide was related to increased externalizing distress. Furthermore, secondary stressors mediated the parental death–child distress relation such that parental death led to an increase in stressors, which in turn led to increased child distress. Implications for secondary and tertiary preventive interventions are discussed.
