Abstract

Objective: The well-being of families is critical for health, but a family well-being metric has not yet been developed for use in federal surveys, making it impossible to assess national trends in family well-being. The National Survey for Children's Health (NSCH) includes items relating to different dimensions of family well-being. The purpose of this study was to conduct exploratory research to create an index of family well-being using items from the NSCH to examine trends in family well-being among families with children in the United States.

Methods: Using the 2016 and 2021 NSCH, we created an index of family well-being. We compared family well-being across families with children in different age groups and examined trends over time between 2016 and 2021. Finally, we examined correlations between family well-being and 6 child health outcomes (chronic headaches, diabetes, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and behavioral and conduct disorders).

Results: The final family well-being index had 10 items/constructs. Children 0 to 5 years were more likely than older children to have caregivers whose responses met criteria for most family well-being items. Between 2016 and 2021, family health remained relatively steady, but there were significant changes in 6 of the 10 family well-being index items, with some items increasing and some decreasing in 2021 compared with 2016. Family well-being was modestly correlated with all 6 children's health outcomes.

Conclusion: By having a family well-being index in federal surveys, trends in family well-being can be examined over time. Changes in children's health can also be assessed relating to family well-being.

利用全国儿童健康调查初步建立家庭幸福指数。
目标:家庭福祉对健康至关重要,但尚未制定用于联邦调查的家庭福祉衡量标准,因此无法评估家庭福祉的全国趋势。全国儿童健康调查(NSCH)包括与家庭福利的不同方面有关的项目。本研究的目的是进行探索性研究,利用国家心理健康量表的项目来建立一个家庭幸福指数,以考察美国有孩子的家庭的家庭幸福趋势。方法:采用2016年和2021年的NSCH,构建家庭幸福感指数。我们比较了不同年龄段有孩子的家庭的家庭幸福感,并研究了2016年至2021年期间的趋势。最后,我们研究了家庭幸福与6种儿童健康结果(慢性头痛、糖尿病、抑郁、焦虑、注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)以及行为和品行障碍)之间的相关性。结果:最终的家庭幸福指数有10个项目/构式。0到5岁的孩子比大一点的孩子更有可能得到符合大多数家庭幸福项目标准的照顾者。2016 - 2021年,家庭健康保持相对稳定,但10个家庭幸福指数项目中有6个项目发生显著变化,与2016年相比,2021年有增有减。家庭幸福感与所有6名儿童的健康结果均存在适度相关。结论:通过在联邦调查中有一个家庭幸福指数,家庭幸福的趋势可以随着时间的推移进行检查。儿童健康方面的变化也可以根据家庭福利进行评估。
