Here, we examined parental psychopathology, parenting style and emotional/behavioral problems among children with DS, their siblings, and controls in Taiwan. Methods: We recruited 45 families of children with DS (age, 2-14 years) and 50 families of normally developing children (age, 3-15 years). If there were more than two children in the case family, the sibling whose age was closest to the child with DS was recruited (age, 3-18 years). Both parents completed self-administered measures of their personality characteristics, psychopathology, family functioning parenting styles, and child behavioral problems, using the Chinese versions of the Maudsley Personality Inventory, Brief Symptom Rating Scale, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, Parental Bonding Instrument, and Child Behavioral Checklist, respectively. Results: Children with DS demonstrated significantly more severe symptoms than normal children of a wide range of behavioral problems such as attention problems, delinquency, social problems, somatic complaints, thought problems, and withdrawal compared with the other two groups, and obtained similar parental treatment, except for paternal overprotection. Their parents suffered from more psychopathology and their mothers were less often employed than their counterparts. The siblings of children with DS obtained less overprotection from their mothers than children with DS and less maternal care and control than normal children. There was no difference in emotional/behavioral problems between the siblings and normal controls. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that in addition to the physical, educational and psychological needs of children with DS, the psychological care of their mothers, fathers and siblings also needs to be-evaluated. Moreover, parenting counseling should focus not only on children with DS, but their siblings as well. ? 2008 Elsevier & Formosan Medical Association. |
