目的精神疾病患者的父母往往在启动和支持其子女的治疗方面发挥核心作用。这项研究比较了年轻消费者和老年消费者的父母的心理症状和经历。对寻求参加全国精神疾病家庭教育计划的青少年(N=56)、青壮年(N=137)和成人≥30(N=72)的父母进行了照护和痛苦领域的评估。结果青少年的父母比年轻人的父母支持更重的负担、困难和情绪困扰，后者又比年长的成年人的父母支持更重的负担、困难和情绪困扰。结论结论：当有心理健康问题的孩子年纪较小时，寻求参加这一项目的父母的情绪痛苦可能会最高，而且随着孩子年龄的增长，负担会减轻。
ObjectiveParents of individuals with mental illness often play a central role in initiating and supporting their children’s treatment. This study compared psychological symptoms and experiences of parents of younger versus older consumers. Parents were seeking to participate in a family education program for relatives of individuals with mental illness.MethodsDomains of caregiving and distress were assessed among parents of youths (N=56), of young adults (N=137), and of adults ≥30 (N=72) who were seeking to participate in the National Alliance on Mental Illness Family-to-Family program.ResultsParents of youths endorsed greater burden, difficulties, and emotional distress than parents of young adults, who in turn endorsed greater burden, difficulties, and emotional distress than parents of older adults.ConclusionsFindings suggest that burden, difficulties, and emotional distress among parents seeking participation in this program may be highest when children with mental health concerns are younger and that the burdens recede as children age.
