本研究旨在探讨父母压力、健康（定义为收缩压、舒张压及身体质量指数）、育儿特征与社会支持之间的关系。本研究采用相关性研究设计，研究背景为底特律大都市区。样本包括120名高血压的非裔美国人父母和祖父母，他们报告照顾1至9名生活在家中的儿童。有几个变量（平均舒张压，家中子女/孙子的数量，子女/孙子是否身体/精神残疾，减轻压力的能力）是父母压力的统计学显著预测因素。这些结果表明，养育子女的多重要求可能成为一个障碍，使生活方式的改变，为父母和祖父母诊断为高血压。护理影响的研究结果进行了讨论。
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among parental stress, health (defined as level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and body mass index), childcare characteristics, and social support. The study used a correlational research design and the setting was the metropolitan Detroit area. The sample consisted of 120 hypertensive African American parents and grandparents who reported caring for 1 to 9 children living in the household. Several variables (average diastolic blood pressure, number of children/grandchildren in home, child/grandchild is physically/mentally disabled, ability to decrease stress) were statistically significant predictors of parental stress. These results indicate that the multiple demands of parenting may become a barrier to making life-style changes for parents and grandparents diagnosed with hypertension. Nursing implications of the findings are discussed.
