Abstract

With the increasing rate of mental health disorders among youth in the United States (U.S.) and the essential role of parents in children’s development, many studies have investigated the relationship between parental factors and children’s mental health. The current study expanded on this research by exploring the impact of parent solid self (i.e., one subcategory of differentiation of self), parenting stress, parenting styles, and parent involvement in treatment on children’s mental health symptom severity. The sample included 216 parents (U.S. residents; Mage = 33.84, SDage = 5.384) with at least one youth aged 3–17 years actively or historically in mental health treatment. Participants completed an online survey that included a demographic questionnaire and measures of parenting styles, parental solid self, parental stress, and children’s symptom severity. A simple linear regression found that parental solid self and stress levels were associated with the severity of children’s symptoms. A two-way ANOVA revealed that parenting styles had a significant main effect on children’s symptom severity. Results also showed that the level of authoritative parenting style mediated the relationship between parental solid self and children’s symptom severity. This study further highlighted the importance of promoting individual therapy or psychoeducation for parents and how it might benefit children’s treatment. Future research may consider children’s perspectives, how parents engage with their child’s treatment, incorporating more expansive assessment methods, and longitudinal designs to further explore the impact of parents’ differentiation of self, parental stress, parenting styles, and parental involvement in treatment on children’s symptom severity.

父母固执己见、参与治疗、压力和养育方式对儿童心理健康症状严重程度的影响
随着美国青少年心理健康失调率的不断上升,以及父母在儿童成长过程中的重要作用,许多研究都对父母因素与儿童心理健康之间的关系进行了调查。本研究在此基础上进一步探讨了父母的自我稳固性(即自我分化的一个子类别)、养育压力、养育方式以及父母参与治疗对儿童心理健康症状严重程度的影响。样本包括 216 位父母(美国居民;平均年龄 = 33.84 岁,平均年龄 = 5.384 岁),他们至少有一位 3-17 岁的青少年正在或曾经接受过心理健康治疗。参与者填写了一份在线调查问卷,其中包括一份人口统计学问卷,以及对父母教养方式、父母的稳固自我、父母的压力和子女症状严重程度的测量。简单线性回归发现,父母的稳固自我和压力水平与儿童症状的严重程度有关。双向方差分析显示,养育方式对儿童症状严重程度有显著的主效应。结果还显示,权威型教养方式的水平在父母稳固自我与儿童症状严重程度之间起到了中介作用。本研究进一步强调了促进家长个人治疗或心理教育的重要性,以及这对儿童治疗的益处。未来的研究可以考虑儿童的视角、父母如何参与儿童的治疗、采用更广泛的评估方法和纵向设计,以进一步探讨父母的自我分化、父母的压力、养育方式和父母参与治疗对儿童症状严重程度的影响。

期刊介绍: Journal of Child and Family Studies (JCFS) international, peer-reviewed forum for topical issues pertaining to the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. Interdisciplinary and ecological in approach, the journal focuses on individual, family, and community contexts that influence child, youth, and family well-being and translates research results into practical applications for providers, program implementers, and policymakers. Original papers address applied and translational research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy matters that affect child, youth, and family well-being. Topic areas include but are not limited to: enhancing child, youth/young adult, parent, caregiver, and/or family functioning; prevention and intervention related to social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in children, youth, and families; cumulative effects of risk and protective factors on behavioral health, development, and well-being; the effects both of exposure to adverse childhood events and assets/protective factors; child abuse and neglect, housing instability and homelessness, and related ecological factors influencing child and family outcomes.
