“…For example, high levels of parenting stress have been linked to less child competence (Cappa, Begle, Conger, Dumas, & Conger, 2011), more early childhood anxiety symptoms (Pahl, Barrett, & Gullo, 2012), and behavioral problems (Benzies, Harrison, & Magill Evans, 2004). At the same time, parenting stress has also been seen as a factor influencing parenting behavior and a determinant of dysfunctional parenting (Webster-Stratton, 1990).…”

This prospective longitudinal study examined predictors of parenting stress trajectories over time in a sample of 125 mothers and their preterm infants. Infant (multiple birth, gestational age, days hospitalized, and neonatal health risks) and maternal (socioeconomic, education, depressive symptoms, social support, and quality of interaction during infant feeding) characteristics were collected just prior to infant hospital discharge. Parenting stress and maternal interaction quality during play were measured at 4, 24, and 36 months corrected age. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze infant and maternal characteristics as predictors of parenting stress scores and change over time. Results indicated significant variability across individuals in parenting stress at 4 months and in change trajectories. Mothers of multiples and infants with more medical risks and shorter hospitalization, and mothers with lower education and more depressive symptoms, reported more parenting stress at 4 months of age. Parenting stress decreased over time for mothers of multiples and for mothers with lower education more than for mothers of singletons or for mothers with higher educational levels. Changes in parenting stress scores over time were negatively associated with maternal behaviors during mother–infant interactions. Results are interpreted for their implications for preventive interventions.

Resumen: El estudio del afrontamiento en escolares es un tema de interés, ya que poseer habilidades de afrontamiento es garantía de vida saludable. El objetivo del presente estudio es la construcción y validación de una escala de afrontamiento, cuya finalidad es valorar el tipo de estrategias de afrontamiento utilizadas por escolares de educación primaria en relación con cuatro tipos de estresores cotidianos. Los participantes fueron 402 niños y niñas con edades comprendidas entre 9 y 12 años. Se presentan análisis factorial confirmatorio y evidencias de fiabilidad y validez. El instrumento consta de 35 ítems en formato de autoinforme que evalúan nueve estrategias de afrontamiento diferentes, distinguiendo entre afrontamiento centrado en el problema y afrontamiento improductivo. Los resultados muestran que esta escala presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para la evaluación de estrategias de afrontamiento en población infantil. Palabras clave: afrontamiento; evaluación; propiedades psicométricas; infancia media.Title: Children's Coping Scale: psychometric properties. Abstract: It is important to study coping among school-age children, as having coping skills is a key aspect of a healthy life. The aim of the present study was to construct and validate a coping scale for assessing the types of coping strategies used by primary school children in relation to four kinds of stressors. Participants were 402 boys and girls aged between 9 and 12 years. The paper reports the results of a confirmatory factor analysis and evidence of reliability and validity. The instrument comprises 35 self-report items that assess nine different coping strategies, distinguishing between problem-focused and non-productive coping. The results show that the scale has adequate psychometric properties for the assessment of children's coping strategies. Key words: coping; assessment; psychometric properties; middle childhood. IntroducciónEl afrontamiento y su evaluación es un tema clave en el estudio del desarrollo saludable, puesto que supone garantía de calidad de vida desde la infancia. Su estudio va unido al del estrés, ya que se considera que el afrontamiento es la respuesta efectiva para regular el efecto de estresores cotidianos. El presente trabajo se refiere al afrontamiento del estrés cotidiano infantil, concebido como demandas y contrariedades de la vida diaria que pueden afectar de forma negativa al desarrollo emocional de los escolares (Trianes, Blanca, Fernández-Baena, Escobar y Maldonado, 2011;Trianes et al., 2009). La evidencia empírica refleja que el estrés cotidiano tiene mayores efectos negativos que los acontecimientos crónicos o vitales (Lu, 2010;Valentine, Buchanan y Knibb, 2010;Wagner, Compas y Howell, 1988). Los estresores cotidianos se agrupan en la infancia en tres ámbitos: escolar e iguales (e.g., obtener malas calificaciones, burlas de los iguales), salud (e.g., situaciones de enfermedad) y familiar (e.g., peleas entre hermanos) (Trianes et al., 2011;Trianes et al., 2009).Una de las definiciones pioneras sobr...

“…There is a great deal of research devoted to typical child developmental stages and trajectories, parenting strategies, and the impact parenting has on family functioning, coping, and well-being (e.g., [2][3][4]). This large corpus of research focused on typically developing children is regularly summarized and translated from scientific form to a more accessible layperson style written to educate parents on child development and prepare them with home-based strategies for facilitating typical children's language, social, motor, selfhelp, and early academic skills (e.g., [5]).…”

This review summarizes selected studies involving education and training programs designed to improve parents' ability to provide research-based support and intervention for their children with intellectual disabilities. First, we highlight stressors and obstacles associated with parenting a child with intellectual disability and note the relative paucity of existing research in light of the increased risk of stress, anxiety, and depression reported for this population. Next, we provide a description of recent trends and issues and attempt to elucidate gaps in the existing literature that warrant additional research effort. Ultimately, this paper highlights the growing need for interventions that include both behavioral and psychosocial components to better address needs in families of children with intellectual disability. Specifically, we conclude that there exists a need for future research on culturally sensitive parent training as well as on potentially efficient group-based parent education programs for families of children with moderate to profound intellectual disability.
