Mediation and moderation effects were examined using structural equation modeling.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Strong associations between child behaviors, parental stress and parental QoL were evidenced. Parental stress mediated the relationship between opposition in the child and parental QoL at diagnosis, but this effect was much smaller 3 years after diagnosis. Surprisingly, problem solving and social support, two commonly recommended coping strategies, had little or no effect on reducing impact on QoL 3 years later.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Longitudinal analysis allowed us to estimate the causal pathway between child oppositional behaviors, parental stress and impact on parental QoL. Our findings emphasize the crucial role of parental stress, which can mediate the impact of the children's oppositional behaviors on parental QoL. They argue for the need to develop specific interventions for parents focusing on parental stress and child's behavior management.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":73542,"journal":{"name":"JCPP advances","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jcv2.12303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
