“…Family-focused interventions increasingly emphasize the importance of building upon existing family strengths and coping strategies when promoting positive family functioning (Hanline and Daley 1992;Judge 1998;Turnbull et al 2005).

The social support networks of 25 Puerto Rican single mothers of young children with disabilities were examined and compared with current models of family support for children with disabilities. This study was designed to assess the support systems of Latino single mothers in light of dominant models of family support. The Family Support Scale, the ECOMAP, and responses to open-ended questions were employed to describe the characteristics of Puerto Rican single mothers' support systems. Study findings suggest that members of the children's immediate and extended kinship system, including non-blood relatives (e.g., madrinas), play a strong role in the support network of the mothers interviewed. Implications for early childhood professionals who work with Latino parents of children with disabilities are examined.

Although there is substantial literature documenting the challenges of pediatric sickle cell disease (SCD) for children and their parents, there is limited research identifying how parents prioritize their needs and use their social networks to manage information regarding their child’s SCD in terms of physical and mental health. We examined parents’ perceived needs regarding child health issues as they relate to SCD; who and what sources of information are utilized by parents regarding SCD; the frequency with which they consult these resources; and the level at which they trust them. Parents in this study reported that mothers, physicians, the Internet, and books were key sources of support, guidance, and counsel regarding the health needs of children with SCD. These three sources were rated high in importance, trust, frequency of contact, and perceived supportiveness toward mental and physical health needs.

“…The F-COPES is valid across cultures, in the USA (e.g., Hanline and Daley 1992) and internationally (e.g., Berástegui 2007;Lim and Townsend 2012). The spiritual coping subscale (SPR) was comprised of four items.…”

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The researchers examined the spiritual coping, family communication, and family functioning of 95 participants in 34 families by an online survey. Multilevel linear regression was used to test whether individuals' and families' higher endorsement of more use of spiritual coping strategies to deal with a member's cancer would be associated with higher scores on family communication and family functioning, and whether better communication would also be associated with higher family functioning scores. Results revealed that spiritual coping was positively associated with family communication, and family communication was positively associated with healthier family functioning. The researchers provide suggestions for further research.
