Although many families report high amounts of distress soon after injury, most are resilient and do not continue to experience prolonged psychosocial problems. The aim was to identify factors associated with parent resilience after pediatric burn injury.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHOD\u0000Fifty-seven parents of young children (< 5 years old) enrolled in a longitudinal assessment study. Baseline evaluations were conducted within 1 week of injury and included a medical chart review and parent self-report measures of resilience, social support, family functioning, and coping. Follow-up measurement of parent traumatic stress was measured 3 months after injury. We examined baseline resilience, positive emotionality, social support, family functioning, and problem-solving coping behaviors for relationships to traumatic stress.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Parent resilience at baseline was associated with lower rates of parent traumatic stress symptoms at follow-up. Lower rates of traumatic stress were more common in parents of older children with more trait-level resilience, more social support, and more planning problem-solving behaviors at baseline.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Baseline resilience characteristics are associated with less traumatic stress for parents several months after the injury. Findings can be used to develop screening strategies and interventions that address planning and problem-solving and emphasize social support.

How pandemic risks and impacts are communicated to parents and in turn translated to children can have implications for familial mental wellbeing. Because culture shapes how information is received, processed, and utilized, there is need to understand how AA parents' experiences of COVID-19 information sharing and perceived vulnerabilities influenced communication with their children.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Data was collected through semistructured in-depth telephone interviews conducted among 11 African American households with school aged child (5 to 17 years). Line-byline coding and thematic analysis were used to deduce meaning from professionally transcribed data. Preliminary Findings: Four themes on trust in information sources, risk perceptions, attitudes to prevention methods, and parent-child risk communication emerged. Although participants felt challenged by their inherent vulnerabilities and communicating COVID-19 risks at an appropriate comprehension level to their children, they leaned into cultural safety nets such as \"the dinner table\" to encourage conversation and foster resilience.\u0000\u0000\u0000IMPLICATIONS\u0000Understanding how African American families with children were impacted by COVID-19 and how adequate crisis communication can help mitigate adverse health consequences, strengthen recovery, foster resilience, and promote family and community healing is important. Clinicians and therapists who work with AA families should be sensitive to their social vulnerability and culturally responsive to AA family systems when communicating about public health emergencies.

Boulton, Peter J. R. Macaulay","doi":"10.1037/fsh0000701","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/fsh0000701","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND\u0000A large theoretical and empirical literature indicates that parenting practices affect young people's well-being and resilience, but there is much still to learn about psychological mechanisms, especially beyond infancy/early childhood. A recent model of authentic self-esteem argues that it arises out of experiences of challenge situations shared with parents and that it can subsequently act as a protective factor that supports well-being and resilience among young people. The aim of the current study is to test (a) if parenting about challenges can predict 3 indices of adolescents' well-being, namely their social anxiety, disrupted classroom concentration, and ability to spontaneously generate resilient strategies; and more substantially, (b) if authentic self-esteem can mediate those associations if found.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHOD\u0000Adolescents (N = 836) completed a questionnaire that measured all the study variables via self-report with the exception that unprompted open questions were used to gauge their ability to spontaneously generate resilient strategies.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Parental discussions of challenges did significantly predict all 3 well-being indices, and authentic self-esteem was found to mediate all these relationships.\u0000\u0000\u0000DISCUSSION\u0000These results support the view that parenting about challenges is a practice that supports well-being and resilience in adolescents. It appears to do so through promoting the development of authentic self-esteem, a capacity to evaluate the self in a positive manner in the context of challenges. The theoretical and practical significance of these findings are discussed.

Given primary care clinics are where people most often interact with health care providers, understanding factors associated with this hesitance may help providers in integrated primary care settings best address this hesitance.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHOD\u0000Between September and November of 2020, a survey was sent to all primary care patients within a large southern California health system, with over 10,000 responding (22% response rate). Survey items included sociodemographic variables, level of vaccine hesitance, \"proximity to COVID\" (e.g., direct exposure to COVID-19 and consequences), as well as a patient's primary source of health information (e.g., traditional news, social media, etc.). Responses assessed the strength of hesitance.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Results showed that while 78% of participants \"strongly\" believed vaccines generally are a good way to protect from illness, only 51% reported strong willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
