我们描述了一个样本的学龄儿童的监禁父母参加了联邦资助的辅导计划。采用混合方法的方法来辨别与照顾者监禁有关的关键主题。结果表明，创伤后应激的发病率很高，以及高利率的内化和外化行为。儿童的压力和应对行为的描述与父母监禁的模糊损失。此外，类似的指导计划的影响进行了讨论。
We describe a sample of school-age children of incarcerated parents enrolled in a federally funded mentoring program. A mixed methods approach was applied to discern key themes related to caregiver incarceration. Results demonstrated a high prevalence of posttraumatic stress as well as high rates of internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Descriptions of children's stress and coping behaviors in response to the ambiguous loss associated with parental incarceration are presented. Further, implications for similar mentoring programs are discussed.
