Abstract

Objective: The aim of the current study was to better understand if perceived parental distress moderates the effects of having a chronic illness and poor physical quality of life on psychological problems reported by emerging adults.

Methods: Participants consisted of 538 college-attending emerging adults (53.5% women; 46.5% men). Participants completed an online study that was composed of questions regarding chronic illness, the World Health Organization Quality of Life - Brief, the Adult Self-Report scale, and the Adult Behavior Checklist.

Results: In both emerging adult women and men, endorsing a chronic illness is significantly associated with psychological problems. Psychological problems in both emerging adult women and men were significantly predicted by the three-way interaction between endorsing a chronic illness, physical quality of life, and perceived maternal distress. Specifically, increased perceived maternal distress was associated with higher psychological problems in both emerging adult women and men with chronic illnesses and low physical quality of life.

Discussion: For emerging adult women and men with a chronic illness, higher perceived maternal distress was associated with poorer psychological adjustment, while lower perceived maternal distress was associated with better psychological adjustment.

初出茅庐的成年人的慢性病和心理问题：父母痛苦感的调节。

目的：本研究的目的是更好地了解父母的痛苦感是否能调节慢性病和身体生活质量差对新生成年人心理问题的影响。方法：参与者包括538名大学新生（女性53.5%，男性46.5%）。参与者完成了一项在线研究，该研究由有关慢性病、世界卫生组织生活质量简报、成人自我报告量表和成人行为清单的问题组成。结果：在新兴成年女性和男性中，认可慢性病与心理问题显著相关。通过认可慢性病、身体生活质量和感知到的母亲痛苦之间的三方互动，可以显著预测新兴成年女性和男性的心理问题。具体而言，在患有慢性病和身体生活质量低下的成年女性和男性中，母亲痛苦感的增加与更高的心理问题有关。讨论：对于患有慢性病的新成年女性和男性来说，感知到的母亲痛苦越高，心理适应能力越差，而感知到的产妇痛苦越低，心理适应越好。

期刊介绍： Chronic illnesses are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously, and are rarely completely cured. The most common are cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure), the arthritides, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and epilepsy. There is increasing evidence that mental illnesses such as depression are best understood as chronic health problems. HIV/AIDS has become a chronic condition in those countries where effective medication is available.
