背景：在许多国家，共同监护权的做法正在增加，即子女在分开后，在父母双方的家中度过同样的时间。这种情况在瑞典尤其常见，在瑞典，这种监护权安排适用于30%的父母分离的儿童。这项研究的目的是通过比较核心家庭中与父母双方共同生活的儿童和那些共同监护和其他形式的家庭安排的儿童来检验父母分离后儿童的健康相关生活质量。方法：采用两级线性回归模型对瑞典一项全国性课堂研究的164580名12-15岁儿童的数据进行分析。使用Z-Score对KIDSCREEN-52和KIDSCREEN-10指数的10个维度的幸福感进行等价量表，并与核心家庭和主要或仅与单亲家庭生活的儿童进行比较分析。结果：与父母分离的儿童相比，核心家庭生活与幸福感的几乎所有方面都呈正相关。在主观幸福感、家庭生活和同伴关系方面，共同监护的儿童在主观幸福感、家庭生活和同伴关系方面比主要或仅与父母一方生活的儿童有更积极的结果。对于12岁的孩子来说，情绪和情绪的贝塔系数在-0.20到-0.33之间，同伴关系系数在-0.11到-0.20之间，而共同监护和主要与父母之一生活的孩子的同伴关系系数在-0.11到-0.20之间。在这些子量表上，15岁儿童的相应估计值在-0.08到-0.28之间，在-0.03到-0.13之间。共同监护的15岁儿童比12岁的儿童更有可能报告核心家庭中儿童的大部分结果的幸福感水平相似。结论：分离后与父母生活在一起的儿童报告的幸福感比以单亲家庭为主的儿童更好。对于15岁的青少年来说尤其如此，而12岁儿童的幸福感报告则不太令人满意。有必要进行进一步研究，以说明个别家庭在分居前后的情况，以及在共同肉体监护下较年轻年龄群体的福祉。
Background: The practice of joint physical custody, where children spend equal time in each parent's home after they separate, is increasing in many countries. It is particularly common in Sweden, where this custody arrangement applies to 30 per cent of children with separated parents. The aim of this study was to examine children's health-related quality of life after parental separation, by comparing children living with both parents in nuclear families to those living in joint physical custody and other forms of domestic arrangements.Methods: Data from a national Swedish classroom study of 164,580 children aged 12 and 15-years-old were analysed by two-level linear regression modelling. Z-scores were used to equalise scales for ten dimensions of wellbeing from the KIDSCREEN-52 and the KIDSCREEN-10 Index and analysed for children in joint physical custody in comparison with children living in nuclear families and mostly or only with one parent.Results: Living in a nuclear family was positively associated with almost all aspects of wellbeing in comparison to children with separated parents. Children in joint physical custody experienced more positive outcomes, in terms of subjective wellbeing, family life and peer relations, than children living mostly or only with one parent. For the 12-year-olds, beta coefficients for moods and emotions ranged from -0.20 to -0.33 and peer relations from -0.11 to -0.20 for children in joint physical custody and living mostly or only with one parent. The corresponding estimates for the 15-year-olds varied from -0.08 to -0.28 and from -0.03 to -0.13 on these subscales. The 15-year-olds in joint physical custody were more likely than the 12-year-olds to report similar wellbeing levels on most outcomes to the children in nuclear families.Conclusions: Children who spent equal time living with both parents after a separation reported better wellbeing than children in predominantly single parent care. This was particularly true for the 15-year-olds, while the reported wellbeing of 12-years-olds was less satisfactory. There is a need for further studies that can account for the pre and post separation context of individual families and the wellbeing of younger age groups in joint physical custody.
