研究是否某些家庭结构修改心理调整和身体疾病的严重程度之间的关系，如功能状态的指数，在患有慢性疾病的儿童。将352个家庭分为4种类型：双亲（n = 149）、母亲+另一成年亲属（n = 47）、母亲+无血缘关系的配偶或伴侣（n = 23）和母亲单独（n = 133）。儿童的功能状态和调整之间的相关性较高，在母亲加上无关的合作伙伴和母亲单独的家庭，和较低的母亲与生物学的父亲或另一个成年亲属生活。母亲加无血缘关系伴侣组的儿童也往往比其他儿童有更差的整体适应能力。结果进行了讨论，在家庭结构，儿童疾病和调整，以及可能的机制，这些变量相互关联。
Examined whether certain family structures modify the relationship between psychological adjustment and severity of physical illness, as measured by an index of functional status, among children with chronic illness. 352 families were divided into four types: two biological parents (n = 149), mother plus another adult relative (n = 47), mother plus unrelated spouse or partner (n = 23), and mother alone (n = 133). Correlations between children's functional status and adjustment were higher in the mother plus unrelated partner and mother alone families, and lower when mother lived with either the biological father or another adult relative. Children in the mother plus unrelated partner group also tended to have poorer overall adjustment than other children. Results are discussed in terms of family structure, childhood illness and adjustment, and the possible mechanisms that interrelate these variables.
