在儿童虐待干预措施中争取父母的非正式支持网络的帮助是一种被广泛接受的做法，但人们对支持如何影响虐待家庭中的养育子女知之甚少。本研究探讨接受儿童福利服务的家庭中的非正式支持的作用。它假定，经济压力和消极的生活事件影响育儿通过其负面影响母亲抑郁症，并审查了非正式支持对这些关系的影响，儿童福利服务是否影响了支持的可用性，以及支持的变化是否与父母暴露于压力源和父母功能的变化有关。研究结果表明，增加支持可能会减少压力源的数量和抑郁症，并改善他们的积极育儿。但是，利用支持来改变消极的育儿方式可能是一项更复杂的工作，取决于支持者提供建设性支持的能力。(C)2004年爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有紧身衣。
Enlisting the aid of parents' informal support networks in child maltreatment interventions is a widely accepted practice; yet little is known about how support affects parenting in maltreating families. This study examines the role of informal support among families receiving child welfare services. It posits that financial strain and negative life events affect parenting through their negative effect on maternal depression and examines the influence of informal supports on these relationships, whether child welfare services affected the availability of support, and whether change in support is associated with change in parents' exposure to stressors and parental functioning.The study's findings suggest that increasing support may reduce the amount of stressors and depression that parents experience and improve their positive parenting. But using support to alter negative parenting may be a more complex undertaking and depend on the supporter's capacity to provide constructive support. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All tights reserved.
