Full textIntroduction: the period of adolescence is the age group for which cannabis use is highest in France. Cannabis use in adolescence is an important stressor for parents. The first aim of the present study was to better identify specific family dynamics and coping strategies (individual and dyadic) mobilized by parents of adolescent cannabis users. Second, was to investigate the factors associated with psychological distress (family dynamics, coping strategies). Method: during this quantitative and qualitative study, 50 parents consult for a problematic adolescent cannabis use and 67 control parents answered at a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (FACES IV) and the Family Relationship Index (FRI) to assess family dynamics, the Brief Cope to estimate situational coping strategies and dyadic coping Inventory (DCI) to address the dyadic coping strategies mobilized by the sample's parents couple. Results: parents of adolescent cannabis users had a high psychological distress and have obtained significantly different scores on the dimensions of family dynamics, compare at parental control group. Thus, family functioning of parents of adolescent cannabis users was defined as cohesion and lower communication capabilities but also high intensity conflict from parents in the control group. A dimension of family dynamics (conflicts) and four situational coping strategies (expressing feelings, blame, substance use, behavioral disengagement) were positively related to psychological distress. Dyadic coping strategies (communication about the stress, negative strategies, ect) were positively related to psychological distress experienced by parents couple. Conclusion: these results show the interest of better understanding the experiences of parents facing the adolescent problem cannabis use and suggest directions for future supported

Full textParent income and educational attainment (EA) influence children’s eating behaviors (EB). Psychological distress and socioeconomic disadvantage can trigger maladaptive EB that cause obesity (Hemmingson, 2014). Associations between Latino and African American (AA) parents’ income and EA with the child’s EB and psychological distress were explored. Baseline data for 79 AA and Latina 8-11 year old girls were collected via self-report surveys and 24-hour recalls; parent data was derived from demographic forms. T-tests, one-way independent ANOVA, and correlations assessed relationships. Children’s total fat intake differed by EA (p=.001) and income ( p=.022). Total sugar intake (p=.011) differed by income. Fruit intake differed by income level F(2, 47)=4.93, p=.011. Number of fruit servings was inversely correlated with children’s depressive symptoms (DS; p=.009) and trait anxiety (TA; p=.018). Emotional eating (EE) was positively related to DS ( p<.001), TA (p< .001), and perceived stress (PS; p<.001). Findings indicate that higher parent EA and income are associated with higher fat intake in children; higher income was associated with higher sugar intake. Fruit consumption seems to decrease with lower income, and higher DS and TA. Further, increased DS, TA, and PS are related to increased EE. Findings are contrary to expectations that poverty and low-education are associated with poor eating habits.

Full textINTRODUÇÃO: O perfecionismo pode ser conceitualizado e avaliado como uma combinação de duas dimensões: o adaptativo (perfecionismo auto-orientado/PAO) e o mal adaptativo (perfecionismo socialmente prescrito/PSP), Ambos, mas em particular PSP, podem influenciar a saúde mental do adolescente. O controlo parental, também, tem sido associado com alguns problemas psicológicos na adolescência. No presente estudo, o nosso objetivo foi investigar se as dimensões de controlo parental são mediadoras entre o perfecionismo e o desenvolvimento de distúrbios psicológicos nos adolescentes. MÉTODOS: 772 Estudantes portugueses de escolas públicas e privadas de Coimbra (409 raparigas, 357 rapazes e 5 de sexo indefinido), com idades de 13.20 ± 2.286, e seus pais (429 no total: 345 mães, 77 pais e 7 definidos como “outro”) responderam à versão portuguesa validada do Questionário de Pais no Contexto Social. Usámos o teste T de Student para comparar as médias das variáveis entre os géneros. Foram obtidos os coeficientes de correlação de Pearson avaliados através dos critérios de Cohen, para explorar as relações entre as variáveis. Por fim, foram analisados os modelos de mediação simples para determinar os efeitos direto, indireto e total, através do cálculo de intervalos de confiança. RESULTADOS: As pontuações médias dos distúrbios psicológicos (ansiedade, depressão e stress) foram maiores nas raparigas do que nos rapazes. PSP e o controlo parental correlacionaram, significativamente e moderadamente, com a ansiedade, a depressão e o stress. A correlação entre o perfecionismo e as dimensões de controlo parental foi também significativa. As análises de mediação mostraram que a educação pode atuar como mediadora entre o perfecionismo e os distúrbios psicológicos, cujos resultados foram relevantes nas raparigas. Em contraste com o que foi verificado com rejeição, caos e coerção que atuaram como um mediador negativo, calor e suporte operaram como um fator protetor. DISCUSSÃO E CONCLUSÃO: A relação entre o perfecionismo e o controlo parental potencia níveis de perturbação psicológica, confirmando que ambos são preditores da saúde mental dos adolescentes e, assim, devem ser considerados em contextos clínicos.
INTRODUCTION: Perfectionism can be conceptualized and assessed as a combination of two big dimensions: the adaptive (self-oriented perfectionism/SOP) and the maladaptive (socially prescribed perfectionism/SPP). Both, but particularly SPP, can influence the mental health of the adolescent. Also, parental control has been associated with some psychological problems in adolescence. In the present study, our aim was to investigate if parenting dimensions are mediators between perfectionism and psychological distress in adolescents. METHODS: 772 Portuguese students from public and private schools of Coimbra (409 girls, 357 boys and 5 undefined sex) aged 13.20 ± 2.286 and their parents (429 in total: 345 mothers, 77 fathers and 7 defined as “other”) answered the Portuguese validated version of the Parents as Social Context Questionnaire. Student’s T test was used to compare the means of the variables between genders. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were obtained to explore the relationships between variables, which was assessed by Cohen's criteria. Then, we analyzed the simple mediation models to determine direct, indirect and total effects by calculating/obtaining the confidence intervals.RESULTS: The Psychological distress scores (anxiety, depression and stress) were higher in girls than boys. SPP and parental control correlated significantly and moderately with anxiety, depression and stress. The correlation between perfectionism and parental control dimensions was also significant. In girls, the mediation analysis showed that parenting may act as a mediator between perfectionism and emotional distress. In contrast with what was verified with rejection, chaos and coercion that act as negative mediator, warmth and autonomy support operate as a protective factor.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The relationship between perfectionism and parental control potentiate levels of psychological distress, confirming that both are predictors of adolescents’ mental health and thus should be considered in clinical settings.

This case-control study was to explore the factors related to stress and psychological distress of parents with premature infants in the PNICU. In total, 220 subjects comparing parents without(n=110)and with(n=110) premature infants in the PNICU were recruited from Chang Gung Children’s Hospital, Lin-Ko. The study findings shown that both father and mother with preterm infants in the PNICU perceived higher stress(particularly in the total score of stress, and in the subscale of sights and sounds from the PNICU environment, appearance and behavior of infant as well as the role alternation of being parents), more psychological distress(for example, anxiety, depression and total distress)than those with term infants. In addition, mothers with preterm infants also perceived higher stress in the communication with health staff and more somatic symptoms than those with term infants. Gender-base differences were also found in preterm parents. Mothers perceived higher stress on role alternation of being parents; more somatic complains and higher total distress than fathers. External personality was positively related to appearance and behavior of infants, anxiety, and depression; information and tangible support were negatively related to somatization in mothers. There was no relationship found between social support and stress for both parents. In addition, the overall stress was positively related to total distress for both parents. In order to examine the association between related factors and perceived stress and psychological distress in preterm parents, multiple regression method was employed. The findings were presented as follows. First, “perceived illness severity” could predict 12% of stress; and “appearance and behavior of infants” could predict 13% of psychological distress for fathers. Second, the “multiple gestation” explained 11% of stress; and “appearance and behavior of infants” and “tangible support” explained 30% of psychological distress.

Background: Having children diagnosed with cancer is a stressful condition for parents, facing physical, psychosocial, and financial burdens in life. These problems parents face are frequently neglected by health care providers and people around them when in reality parents play a significant role in caregiving children with cancer. Purpose: To identify the top rank of unmet supportive care needs, the prevalence of psychological distress, and the correlation of unmet supportive care needs and psychological distress among parents of children with cancer in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 parents of children with cancer from pediatric ward of two public hospitals in Central and East Java, Indonesia. This study chose the Supportive Care Needs Survey for Partner and Caregiver (SCNS-P&C45) Indonesian version to measure unmet supportive care needs, and Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) Indonesian version to assessed psychological distress including anxiety and depression. Results: Of the 100 parents surveyed, 83% had more than ten unmet needs, 49% encountered anxiety, and 25% had depression. The highest need for supportive care was information needs (66.68±23.07). Anxiety not only correlated with the total score of needs (p〈.001; r=.351) but also each domain of needs including informational, health care service, psychological, work, and social needs. Conclusion and recommendation: Most common needs among parents of children with cancer were informational needs. Anxiety is strongly correlated to unmet supportive care needs. We recommend health care providers to activate support groups to decrease parents’ anxiety and depression. There is also a necessity to increase parental education to fulfill their needs of information.

Full textObjectives: For parents, grieving the loss of a child from cancer is a complex and painful journey for which we do not understand all the issues, in particular, what influences psychological health and long-term quality of life and more specifically the situation of fathers. This study was conducted with parents two to twenty years after the death of their child. The objectives are 1/ to describe the quality of life, psychological distress, and bereavement symptoms of bereaved parents, 2/ to explore the influence of gender and time since death on psychological health test results, and 3/ to identify predictors of parents' current psychological health. Methods: A retrospective quantitative analysis carried out was conducted with 32 mothers and 14 fathers of children who died of cancer at Sainte-Justine UHC between 2000 and 2016 were recruited and completed a self-reported online questionnaire using Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-12), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) and Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG-19). Results: Parents’ symptoms of grief continue to be very present, even up to 18 years after death (58%). Mostly mothers recall very significant symptoms of grief. They report a significant change between the first year after death and now which is less true for fathers. Finally, the predictors of Quality of Life and distress provide us with information on vulnerability patterns: being a father, having high symptoms of grief, and short time elapsed since death. Conclusion: Understanding the differences between fathers’ and mothers’ grief is important for health professionals to better support both bereaved parents efficiently. The results suggest that a follow-up of bereaved parents is needed, even long after the death of their child.
