Abstract

Objective: This study investigates maternal responsive parenting behaviors as a theorized buffer to the detrimental impact of maternal PTSD symptoms on young children's depression and anxiety symptoms, disruptive behavior, and stress-related symptoms.

Design: A multi-ethnic sample of 242 trauma-exposed mothers and their preschool-aged children was assessed. Maternal responsive parenting behaviors were observed during standardized parent-child interactions. Maternal and child mental health symptoms were reported by mothers.

Results: Maternal PTSD symptoms were associated with their responsive parenting behaviors and predicted children's mental health symptoms. Responsive parenting was inversely associated with children's depression and stress-related symptoms. Moderation analyses revealed an interactive effect of maternal symptoms and responsive parenting on preschool children's disruptive behavior and stress-related symptoms.

Conclusions: Responsive parenting behaviors can mitigate the ill effects of maternal PTSD symptoms. Nurturing relationships buffer the impact of maternal PTSD. Helping parents' to sensitively respond to their young children's distress can support positive outcomes in children.

顺应性养育能缓冲母亲创伤后应激障碍对幼儿的影响。

研究目的本研究调查了母亲的反应性养育行为作为母亲创伤后应激障碍症状对幼儿抑郁和焦虑症状、破坏性行为和压力相关症状的有害影响的理论缓冲：设计：对 242 位受到创伤的母亲及其学龄前子女进行了多种族抽样评估。在标准化的亲子互动过程中观察了母亲的养育行为。母亲报告了母亲和儿童的心理健康症状：结果：母亲的创伤后应激障碍症状与她们的反应性养育行为相关，并可预测儿童的心理健康症状。反应型养育与儿童的抑郁和压力相关症状成反比。调节分析表明，母亲症状和反应型养育对学龄前儿童的破坏性行为和压力相关症状有交互影响：结论：反应型养育行为可减轻母亲创伤后应激障碍症状的不良影响。养育关系可缓冲产妇创伤后应激障碍的影响。帮助父母以敏感的方式应对幼儿的困扰，可以帮助儿童获得积极的结果。

期刊介绍： Parenting: Science and Practice strives to promote the exchange of empirical findings, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches from all disciplines that help to define and advance theory, research, and practice in parenting, caregiving, and childrearing broadly construed. "Parenting" is interpreted to include biological parents and grandparents, adoptive parents, nonparental caregivers, and others, including infrahuman parents. Articles on parenting itself, antecedents of parenting, parenting effects on parents and on children, the multiple contexts of parenting, and parenting interventions and education are all welcome. The journal brings parenting to science and science to parenting.
