“…Parenting stress was measured with the abbreviated version of the Nijmeegse Ouderlijke Stress Index verkort (NOSI-K; De Brock et al 1992 ), which is based on the Parenting Stress Index (PSI; Abidin 1990 ) and has been previously used in research with foster parents (Maaskant et al 2016 ; Timmer et al 2006 ). The NOSI-K consists of 25 items rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (totally disagree) to 6 (totally agree).…”

Foster children’s behavioral development and foster parent stress: testing a transactional model

The goal of this three-wave longitudinal study was to analyze foster parent stress and foster children’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors in a transactional framework. Participants in this study were 237 children in foster care in the Netherlands with, mostly, long placement durations (M = 56.86 months, SD = 49.10 months). We examined concurrent, prospective unidirectional and bidirectional relations between foster children’s behavior and foster parent stress by using cross-lagged structural equation modeling and examined whether the results were stable across different subgroups of foster children. In contrast to our hypothesis, we found no bidirectional relations. There were unidirectional prospective pathways from foster children’s internalizing and externalizing problems to foster parent stress, but no significant prospective pathways from foster parent stress to foster children’s internalizing and externalizing problems. The results were fairly stable across different subgroups of foster children. The lack of bidirectional relations was unexpected given the presence of transactional relations in biological parent-child dyads. Foster parents seem not to influence their foster children when it comes to regulating problem behavior. Therefore, the question is whether foster parents can, in more general terms, help their foster children benefit from their improved home environment.

“…Parent training has been developed for a myriad of specific MEB disorders, including autism spectrum disorders (Postorino et al, 2017), ADHD (Evans, Owens, & Bunford, 2014), and conduct disorders . Overall, there is robust evidence that parent training positively influences children's wellbeing (Akin et al, 2017;Greeno et al, 2016;Maaskant, van Rooij, Overbeek, Oort, & Hermanns, 2016), and these interventions may also enhance child flourishment.…”

Approximately 20% of children and adolescents in the United States are affected by mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) disorders. Child flourishment and family resilience contribute to healthy family development, including the promotion of child MEB wellbeing. Identifying factors that promote child flourishment and family resilience are critical. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and parenting factors associated with family resilience and child flourishment among children aged 6–17 years with MEB disorders. This was a secondary analysis of the 2016–2017 National Survey of Children's Health. The sample consisted of parents and their children (n = 1,900, weighted n = 5,375,670). Data were weighted to be representative of the US population and analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression. We found that only 6.3% of children aged 6–17 with an MEB were optimally flourishing. Parental aggravation was negatively associated with child flourishment, and parental coping was positively associated with child flourishment. In total, 66.5% of families with children exhibited resilience. Parental coping and availability of parental emotional support were positively associated with family resilience. Potential interventions that leverage study findings include parent training to increase parental emotional regulation (e.g., increase frustration tolerance, coping skills) and family navigation services to increase parental support (e.g., emotional support, coping skills) through the child's treatment trajectory. Overall, this study provides evidence of a disparity in flourishment in America's youth with MEB disorders, and despite this adversity, families are resilient.

“…The short version of the Nijmeegse Ouderlijke Stress Index (NOSI-K; De Brock, Vermulst, Gerris, & Abidin, 1992) was used to measure parenting stress in each wave. The NOSI-K is based on the Parenting Stress Index (PSI; Abidin, 1990) and has been previously used in studies on foster parents (Maaskant et al, 2016;Murray et al, 2011;Nilsen, 2007;Timmer et al, 2006;Van Andel, 2015). The reliability of the NOSI-K is shown to be good (De Brock et al, 1992).…”
