本研究探讨慢性疾病患儿的父母心理社会适应的相关关系。参与者是20名患有囊性纤维化儿童的母亲和15名父亲，11名患有肌肉萎缩症儿童的母亲和9名父亲，18名患有哮喘儿童的母亲和9名父亲，13名患有1型糖尿病儿童的母亲和8名父亲，19名健康儿童的母亲和11名父亲。使用了与感兴趣的变量相关的问卷调查。较差的适应水平与母亲的社会支持和家庭凝聚力水平较低以及通过了解孩子的医疗状况来应对、更多的家庭生活事件和父亲的家庭凝聚力较低有关。这些发现表明，母亲和父亲对慢性儿童疾病的心理调整相关因素不同。在为患有慢性疾病的儿童及其家庭提供护理时，必须考虑到这些差异。
This study investigated the correlates of psychosocial adjustment in mothers and fathers of children with chronic disease. Participants were 20 mothers and 15 fathers of children with cystic fibrosis, 11 mothers and 9 fathers of children with muscular dystrophy, 18 mothers and 9 fathers of children with asthma, 13 mothers and 8 fathers of children with Type 1 diabetes and 19 mothers and 11 fathers of healthy children. Questionnaires relating to the variables of interest were used. Poorer levels of adjustment were associated with lower levels of social support and family cohesion for mothers and coping by understanding the child's medical situation, more family life events and lower family cohesion for fathers. These findings suggest that the correlates associated with maternal and paternal psychological adjustment to chronic childhood disease differ. These differences are important to consider when providing care to children with chronic disease and their families.
