数据来自患有精神发育迟滞（MR）或慢性疾病（CI）的儿童（N = 231）的母亲和父亲，以及非残疾行为问题样本。母亲发现较少的行为问题，在儿童MR和CI儿童比教师。在确定大多数形式的父母压力和预测心理健康服务使用方面，存在显著的行为问题比残疾类型更重要。MR组的父母最担心的是提供持续的护理到成年。单身母亲的压力并不比双亲家庭大，但比双亲家庭使用更多的服务。研究结果呼吁为有行为问题的残疾儿童提供更广泛的社区和家庭支持服务。
Data were obtained from mothers and fathers of children (N = 231) with mental retardation (MR) or chronic illness (CI), and a nondisabled behavior-problems sample. Mothers identified fewer behavior problems in children with MR and more in children with CI than did teachers. The presence of significant behavior problems was more important than disability type in determining most forms of parental stress, and predicted mental health services use. MR group parents worried most about providing ongoing care into adulthood. Single mothers were not more stressed, but used more services than two-parent families. The results call for a wider array of community and family support services that target children with disabilities who have behavior problems.
