Participants included 19 Armenian mothers, aged 20–40, living in Los Angeles, California, with at least one child in enmeshed paternal families. Results indicated that participants had minimal decision-making opportunities and open communication in their families. Participants experienced low confidence levels and increased pressure due to enmeshment, and how these experiences shaped parenting styles. This information can be used to encourage mental health professionals to assist with cultural dynamics within the Armenian population, while aiding mothers in improving parenting practices.
亚美尼亚母亲的依恋和家庭主义的影响
三分之一的母亲由于母性需求而经历情绪和心理压力。本定性研究分析了亚美尼亚裔家庭的情感和心理健康的影响,以及新妈妈目前的养育方式和他们过去的经历对他们现在的家庭的影响。参与者包括19位亚美尼亚母亲,年龄在20-40岁之间,住在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶,至少有一个孩子生活在亲密的父亲家庭中。结果表明,参与者在家庭中很少有决策机会和开放的沟通。参与者经历了低自信水平和增加的压力,因为沉迷,以及这些经历如何塑造了育儿方式。这些信息可用于鼓励心理健康专业人员协助亚美尼亚人口中的文化动态,同时帮助母亲改进养育子女的做法。
